Joan of Arc- the burning at the stake scene was hard to watch. The Green Inferno- pretty much every death. Piranha 3D- Jerry O'Connel... 'nuff said. Edit: Just remembered one of the only movies I ever watched that made me uneasy. I think it was called "Hero" or something like that. It was about a veteran whose girlfriend was accidentally murdered and he goes on a revenge spree. It was quite disturbing in how realistic it was.
Scanners. You all know what I"m talking about. The poor guard in Alien Resurrection who died from "freezer burn" The soldier who was the victim of a sniper at the end of "Full Metal Jacket" (made all the worse knowing that sort of thing was done over there)
Even though there's worse deaths in more classic films, the animated "Justice League Dark" movie where various innocent people including patients and hard working medical workers were swallowed whole and disintegrated by creatures made of living human excrement comes to mind. It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I think it they took the time to show it was a particularly painful and agonizing death.
Oh shit I’ve just remembered one. It’s not from a movie but the tv show Spooks (MI5 for US airings) but a domestic terrorist guy catches two of the MI5 operatives and kills the woman by shoving her face first in boiling chip oil. Holy fucking Christ that still gives me a sharp stab of terror up the spine.
That scene from Darren Aronofsky's 'Mother!' That one. Spoiler If you're truly curious just look up 'Mother! Baby scene' on Youtube. I basically never do stuff like this but if you're a parent, care a lot about children or can't handle horrible things happening to infants for no reason do not view this. This is your trigger warning, it's real bad. Or probably anything from "Men behind the sun", especially that one involving the decompression chamber.
I could add many Transformers here from Bayformers. Both Cons in the Bee movie die in stupid ways... why was it fatal to Shatter to be bumped against the pool wall? We seen TFs survive a building dropped on them. Everyone from that movie deserves to be on that list. Sheeva, a cage dropped on her without any fight scenes? Motaro just gets his neck broken easily? Jade is killed off for failure moments after being introduced? Mileena gets to say only one line before being killed, with no connection to Kitana ever explained? Same can be said of many characters from the new movie too, especially poor Prince Goro, wasted easily by a noob with plot armor.
She was hit with tons of water and what looked like a laden cargo barge. Which incidentally went through the rear wall of the dry dock by several meters. Thats not bumping a pool wall.
"Bumped." She was crushed between a shipping freighter and a dock. Considering TFs still punch each other to do damage we can reasonably assume an entire shipping boat crushing them is not good.
Let's not forget Taaffe O'Connell's character's death from 1981's "Galaxy of Terror". People that know that film will know why I don't go into much detail here.
Bone Tomahawk was my first thought - I think the only time in 10 years of podcasting that all my cohosts agreed on Kill of the Year. Then again, Terrifier took that kill and made it worse.
I could only ever bear to watch that movie once, I remembered her being thrown in the water and then just hit by a boat against the wall and this made her fall to pieces. I know Bayformers are ridiculously easy to destroy as puny human handguns can even damage them, but that just felt weak. Most of these characters can travel IN SPACE and survive an impact as protoforms... But eh, I did this song and dance about how bad these movies are before.
This one may be fairly obscure, but… The end of Puppet Master III. The Nazi bad guy gets strung up using hooks jammed into his hands, ankles, and neck, then hangs there for a minute before being dropped on an ax. I mean, he definitely deserved it, but it’s still pretty grisly.
That scene from Total Recall Spoiler And the melting Nazis from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Literally so horrifying it(along with Temple of Doom) were responsible for the PG-13 rating Spoiler I think we're going by sheer brutality of these deaths, unless you count the countless kids traumatized by this scene lol
