Old Nov 25th, 2008, 08:45 PM        Creepiest scenes vs. most cringeworthy scenes
I was looking at some other forum that was stupid and whose name I can't even remember. Someone had started a thread about creepiest scenes in a movie and people kept getting that mixed up with scenes that made them cringe (like the torture scenes in Casino). Their inability to separate the two was part of what made that forum stupid.

Anyway, both things are interesting.

What scenes do you find creepiest?

What scenes do you find most cringeworthy?


I think in terms of creepiness, two stand out bigtime for me: the baby cranking its head around in Trainspotting, and the Donald Sutherland scene in Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.

I don't cringe a lot. I found the fire extinguisher part in Irreversible hard to watch (but not the extended anal rape scene, for whatever reason). There were parts of Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer that made me cringe. I didn't like the puppy-in-pillowcase scene in Suicide Circle. Or the curb scene in American History X.

What about you?

Creepiest? I'd have to say the videotape from The Ring on my first viewing.

Cringeworthy... anytime Mr. Freeze opened his mouth in Batman & Robin.

Creepiest: Any scene in Nosferatu

Cringiest: In the re-release of The Exorcist when she comes down the stairs.

Oh, I forgot about the Exorcist.

The Exorcist messed me up bad, but not in the usual way. I had a brain tumor as a little kid in the late 70s, and the medical diagnostic sequence with the 70s-era equipment gave me some really visceral flashbacks

And the sudden frames of whatever that was in the demon makeup here and there (like in the dream sequence) scared the blue fuck outta me.

Creepiest scene I remember watching was in a movie called 'Empire of the Wolves' where the dead woman was at the morgue. What made it creepy was how calm the guy talked about all of her wounds, from the mutliations caused by rats, to the cuts on her face. He was so calm about it...Also a handful of scenes from 'The Deathmaker'.
Most cringeworthy scene was from 'The Fly', where you see Brundlefly's museum of his own body parts. Always makes me feel uneasy.

Baron Samedi falling in the casket full of snakes (in Live and Let Die) and that burly punk being thrown into the woodchipper in Rumble in the Bronx always made me cringe.

This is kind of cringeworthy, at least to me, but also kind of funny.
I never got to see the movie, but I saw a clip from 'Sweet Home', where one of the characters' skin started to melt off slowly, and then BOOM, guy exploded.

Creepiest would have to be in Shallow Grave when the one roommate starts hiding out in the attic and drills small holes in the ceiling so he can look down into the apartment and see what everyone is doing. Or maybe the part when they are in the woods chopping up the dead roommate.

Cringeworthy would be the scene in Gangster #1 when he is beating that guy to death in his house that goes on for what feels like half an hour. Its not so bad at first but it just keeps going.

Forcing a diabetic to eat a giant lolipop in order to kill someone in 'Big Nothing'. Its creepy because it isnt the same "axe to the face" bit. (but it was also funny...damn )

Creepiest? The final scene in Sleepaway camp really creeped me out. The look on the face, the sound, the twist...all of it.

Cringeworthy used to be the shit-eating in Pink Flamingos but I recently saw a French film called irreversible. It features a 10 minute graphic and highly disturbing rape scene that actually made me sick to my stomach.

Oh, honorable mention goes to Pretty Baby. A really good film, but a 12 year old nude sexually active Brooke Shields always makes watching the thing awkward to say the least.

Pednaud, you just saw Irreversible for the first time? Wow... yeah, that one definitely had me reeling. Fucked up beyond belief in many ways.

Creepiest: I still maintain that Prince of Darkness is the creepiest I've ever seen. Dark Night of the Scarecrow always creeped me out a lot too.

Cringeworthy: as a few have stated, Irreversible would have to be at the top of my list. Also, it's not a good date movie.

Cringeworthy: I'm a pussy, yeah? Sweeney Todd, when he slowly slits the throat of the italian barber. UUUURGH

Creepiest - The twins in the hallway in the shining. That was the first thing to ever permanently scar me, and maaaaan, it scarred me badly for a while.

Cringeworthy - Probably something from Salo. Some of the shit-eating scenes were pretty bad, but so were some of the rapes. Fucking hell, that whole movie is just a really good way to feel disgusted for a good while.

Creepiest - In the original movie, "The Haunting", when Elenor is in the dark and thinks that she is holding Theodora's hand while she hears children crying. When the lights come on, Theodora wasn't holding her hand at all.

Cringeworthy - In the remake of "The Haunting" (it had a different name, but I can't remember it now), when Owen Wilson's character is thrown into the fireplace by the ghost and his head is knocked off by the flue.

Creepiest scene: I can't for the life of me remember what it was, but I was watching something, and there was a doll staring into a little girl's room through the window. Just staring. Ugh.

Most cringeworthy: In Cloverfield, when that chick exploded. I was cringing, and laughing my ass off at the same time. It's an awkward sensation.
She was my favorite character.

I read about a movie called "Dolly Dearest" where a girl gets a possessed doll. Maybe that was it?

Or, I believe that there's an evil female doll later in the "Chuckie" series.

Not sure about creepiest, but the most cringeworthy scene for me is definitely the scene in Cannibal Holocaust where they kill the turtle.. Namely because... it's real. For some reason i'm totally desensitized to humans getting slashed, impaled, and disemboweled, but I can't stand seeing it happen to animals.

That reminds me of another scene in a movie that I haven't actually watched, but I read about it.

It's a movie Nicholas Cage is in where his character is crazy to the point of being violent and dangerous. For some reason, the character thinks he's turning into a vampire and at one point in the movie, Cage grabs and eats a live cochroach for the film. Supposedly he had to do it three times, as the scene took three takes.

Speaking of Amityville Horror, I don't like scenes where they just have two red eyes staring out of the darkness. I think they did that in Mothman Prophecies too. The mothman stuff in general creeps me out because my grandparents live very near there. And I didn't like the bridge collapse scene where you could see the car headlights shining up through the water- that almost made me sick.

When I was a kid, that wolf's eyes in Neverending Story creeped me out, and (20 year old spoilers)

...

Artex dying...also freaked me out and made me feel sick.
