City Of The Living Dead (1980)

The Moment: An undead priest uses weird psychic powers to make Daniela Doria start coughing her guts up – literally.

Look Away When: Doria’s eyes start bleeding. Then she begins to foam at the mouth…

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

The Moment: Tomorowo Taguchi has sex with his girlfriend, only his, uh, ‘equipment’ consists of a rather savage drill penis.

This doesn’t bode well.

Look Away When:
The sound of a drill announces the stirring of that formidable member.

Hannibal (2001)

The Moment: Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) is served his own brain for dinner by Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins).

“That smells great,” Krendler says, as his grey matter sizzles in the pan…

Look Away When:
Lecter gets to work on a drugged Krendler’s skull, peeling away the layers…

Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979)

The Moment: This zombie flick’s most famous scene as Paola (Olga Karlatos) has her head dragged toward a massive wooden splinter that eventually punctures her eyeball.

Look Away When: A zombie hand breaks through the door and seizes Paola’s hair…

Day Of The Dead (1985)

The Moment: Captain Rhodes (Joseph Pilato) is ripped apart by zombies, who pull out his innards and devour them as he watches on.

Grub’s up!

Look Away When:
Bub (Sherman Howard) shoots Rhodes and leaves him to the zombies…

  • Samara Weaving and Jason Segel in Over Your Dead Body Over Your Dead Body is an ultra-violent, surprisingly heartwarming gorefest

Switchblade Romance (2003)

The Moment: The beefy serial killer in this French splatter flick makes himself known when he invades a remote farmhouse and beheads a guy using a bookcase and a set of stair rails.

Look Away When: The killer brings out the bookcase.

Hatchet (2006)

The Moment: Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) rips Shannon Permatteo’s (Patrika Darbo) head clean in half as she attempts to escape, exposing her wriggling tongue…

Look Away When: Victor hacks at Jim Permatteo (Richard Riehle) with a hatchet.

His wife’s going to be next.

Saw III (2006)

The Moment: Timothy Young (Mpho Koaho) is strapped to a rack that slowly twists each of his limbs to breaking point.

Look Away When: The rack starts twisting Timothy’s head around.

This isn’t going to end well…

Hellraiser (1987)

The Moment: If you thought watching Uncle Frank (Sean Chapman) regenerate from a gooey puddle of blood was bad, just wait till you see what the cenobites do to him at the end of the film…

Look Away When: Frank corners Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) in the attic, then the cenobites appear and snare him with chains.

“Jesus wept” indeed.

Braindead (1992)

The Moment: “Party’s over”, says Lionel Cosgrove (Timothy Balme), hoisting up a lawnmower and advancing on a horde of slathering zombies.

Look Away When: The zombies rush stupidly at Cosgrove, unaware that the lawnmower’s about to eat them up.

Goretastic.
