Scenes that traumatized you?


Now obviously I mean that in a neutral way. But what I'm asking is, what particular movies scenes shook you to the core? Here's mine:

*The torture scenes at the end of Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom

*The scene from High Tension where the mom has her throat slit and hand cut off

*The scene from the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, where cannibals first enter the mobile home and begin terrorizing the family

*The colonoscopy-bag-rip scene from The Angel's Melancholia. So gross and painful to watch. Makes me cringe everytime.

*The scene from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre where that girl is placed onto a meat hook and then is forced to watch her boyfriend get dismembered

*The 'I saw her face' closet scene from The Ring. Well, okay, that scene doesn't bother me anymore nowadays. But as a kid, that scene messed me up.

Irreversible. The gay nightclub scene where the boyfriend uses a fire extinguisher to beat the other guy's face to unrecognizable pulp. I gagged at that...

The Fly where BrundleFly's face and head fall away to reveal the insect within. And sticking with Cronenberg, the exploding head scene from Scanners...

The family taking pills then lying down to die together before the radioactivity kills them at the end of On The Beach (mini-series). Not horrific, just overwhelmingly sad...
