Feature - Top 10 Torture Scenes

1. Audition (Takashi Miike, 1999) - Needles in the Eye
She sticks needles all over his body, including his eyeballs and then she gleefully removes his foot with only a wire--as she says "you can't go anywhere without feet!"
2. Saw 2 (Darren Lynn Bousman, 2005) - The Needle Pit
Most of the saw movie traps were fairly routine but the needle pit throws everyone for a loop, especially when Amanda is thrown into it...
3. Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 2006) - The Wet Rope
Kudos to James Bond for managing to come out of a torture scene looking even cooler than before. Kudos to Campbell for making a scene that is genuinely unsettling but also humorous.
4. Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson, 2004) - The Flogging
This whole movie was like one giant torture scene but the bits of flesh flying at the camera during the flogging scene really sent it over the edge.
5. V for Vendetta (James McTeigue, 2005)- The Head Shaving
One of the few scenes on this list where the torture is more psychological than physical, the shadow-shrouded, faceless man who tortures Evey engenders absolute disgust in the audience...but then there's that little twist and everything changes.
6. Misery (Rob Reiner, 1990) - The 'Hobbling'
"God, I love you" she says after crushing his ankles to make sure he doesn't leave her. One of the best movie moments ever.
7. Marathon Man (John Schlesinger, 1976) - The Root Canal
"Is it safe?" the doctor asks repeatedly as he digs his tools into Hoffman's cavity. Who needs anesthetic?
8. Cannibal Holocaust (Ruggero Deodato, 1980) - The Shishkabob
Sticks in orifices and cannibalism? certainly not high entertainment.
9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hopper, 1974) - The Family Dinner
Nothing beats sitting down at the table with the deformed hillbillies who want to kill you and then being served mashed up bits of your friends.
10. The Last King of Scotland (Kevin MacDonald, 2006)- Just Hanging Around
In the final moments of the film, Idi Amin's treachery is finally revealed in one of the only violent scenes in the movie. Nicholas Gerrigan is hung on coathangers by his nipples as punishment for betraying the Ugandan dictator. This gives us only a glimpse of what was to come under Amin's reign.

wow those were some painful moments. I must say currently I feel for Dustin Hoffman and his "dental work" But I think everyone could feel it when Bates did her deed. I also loved the needle pit it was one of the only good moments in that movie.

The flogging scene in Passions was by far one of the saddest and most heart wrenching moments ever on the big screen. It was like you could feel every hit in your soul. I found it very traumatic.

I do not drop many comments, however after reading a bunch
of remarks here "Feature - Top 10 Torture Scenes".
I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or do a few of the comments appear as if they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other social sites, I'd like
to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
Could you make a list of every one of all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter
feed, or linkedin profile?
