So, coming directly to the point, here are few of the scenes as depicted in various different movies. Of course, this isn’t the complete list of the movies and neither are the scenes totally comprehensive. But, I hope they should be sufficient to describe the movies. Also, I am not describing the scenes in my own words for two reasons. One – I haven’t watched all of these movies. Two – whatever movies I have watched of these, for them, I guess it will be easier for people to read as these scenes have been written on http://www.imdb.com/ rather than my version because I am sure that I will get more elaborate with the depiction of pain. So, the following one-line scene contents have been taken from “Parents Guide” section.
Day of the Woman aka I spit on your grave
· In three scenes a naked woman is assaulted by four men and raped. In all three scenes she is heavily beaten and in one a man briefly puts a bottle in her vagina.
· A woman cuts off a man's penis. We see blood spray in the bathtub, and he frantically screams and runs around the bathroom in pain. The woman keeps the door shut from the outside and he bleeds to death.
I guess I started with really horrible ones. Even without my words and a full description of the scenes, the above seem pretty profane and disgusting. Anyways, before going ahead, let me ask you, Can you read them?
Hostel
· A man is forced, at gunpoint to suck his own penis (quite disturbing)
· The film's focus shifts from sex to violence for the final thirty to forty minutes, and it does so in particularly bloody fashion. There are graphic depictions of torture and murder such as:
o A man gets shot in the anus
o A man gets all his limbs cut off
Lets see what the sequel of the above movie had to offer:
Hostel II
· A nude woman is hung upside down and slowly cut by another nude woman.
· A man is castrated with a pair of scissors.
· A woman using shears cuts a man's genitals off: he screams in pain, other men watching cringe, the woman grabs the severed genitals and throws them to a dog which eats them and we see the bloody crotch of the man while he writhes and screams (he's left to bleed to death).
· A man is shown eating another man alive
And I guess I can’t go ahead with this anymore. I had thought of putting scenes from around 6-7 movies over here but I just don’t feel I can go ahead with it. Though, if someone is interested they can visit http://www.imdb.com/ and go through the section of such movies. I have listed few of such movies in my earlier blog.
Before ending this literally torturous blog, let me tell about a movie that I didn’t have the courage of watching. It’s Cannibal Holocaust. I had read about this movie much earlier and from what I knew it was a banned movie and perhaps not even available at rentals, at least the uncut version. But we live in an age of technology. And after few years, I got to put my hands over this movie. I started watching this movie and skipped through the initial part of the movie (which is actually picturised as documentary and people still question whether it was a movie or a documentary) because it seemed boring to me. And later on, when I reached the point where the torture scenes were picturised, I had to just fast forward my media player hurriedly. I perhaps even missed the scenes that were described as disturbing in the site. Though, I did watch the climax part of the movie. Something that I let you people give your views about rather than me describing it. Also, I want to add something about this movie that Cannibal Holocaust was actually different in its execution and the underlying reason. It is still not clear to me if it was a movie or really a documentary; and if everything that was shown in the movie was actual picturisation or just the usual cinematic stunts that are not real.
I guess this reading would have been really torturous. Not that my other entries (whether related to this topic or the general ones) are not torture. But this one has been in a very different sense. I will like to express my apology at this point of time if I would have ruined anybody’s mood with this entry. And before ending this one, let me ask you this – Can you really take in these scenes?

No,a normal person will never able to see the scenes described above. In fact the very description of the scenes makes me feel nausea.
But the point is these movies are not made for the normal viewers. Even i can't think of people who can watch it. The only explanation i get is that its the epitome of saddism by the most sadidtic ppl.Anyways i am not the judge the charaters of people who make it or who watch it.
I have always a firm believer that movies do depict certain kind of realities of society and the environment around us. The thing is these movies exist shows one of the few behaviour or whims of humans which everyone and anyone denies though it exists to some degrees in everyone.
I will like to contradict with you at this point. Simply because the concept of a normal viewer is very contentious. What do you call a normal viewer? How do you know that your next door neighbour doesn't enjoy seeing people killed? How many people who enjoy watching such scenes will accept it in front of their friends? Not many. Because they will be seen as freaks and might be feared from too. When the matter of fact might be that they are pretty non-violent in real life.
Anyways, I guess I will touch upon the topic of kind of viewers in a later post. You are right perhaps that these scenes and movies are quiet sadistic and people with sadistic nature would love such movies. But am not very sure that all people or even the majority who love these kinda movies would be sadistic.
