Most violent movies
Somewhat ordered (not really) list of the most violent, brutal, gory, gruesome films. Some of those movies try to hide the lack of creativity behind disgusting things, but at least I remember them because of their violence/gore in serious situations. The violence from films in this list has no comic purpose, or at least it's not the main one.

- DirectorLucio A. RojasStarsCatalina MartinMacarena CarrereDominga BofillFour friends, partying in a house in the middle of nowhere are brutally attacked by a man and his son, forcing the remaining women to take vengeance upon them.Tries to make a statement about the origin of evil. It's Atroz's level of violence but with decent cinematography and good special effects. It is disturbing and not badly made, even though the plot is weak and the point of the movie didn't need this much violence/sex. There is one death in the movie that I'll always remember. Be careful if you want to watch this, Trauma can leave scars.
- DirectorTom SixStarsLaurence R. HarveyAshlynn YennieMaddi BlackInspired by the fictional Dr. Heiter, disturbed loner Martin dreams of creating a 12-person centipede and sets out to realize his sick fantasy.Pure filth on purpose. Welp (but at least it's not amteurish like some previous entries on this list)
- DirectorLex OrtegaStarsDavid AboussafyAbigail BonillaRicardo BritoWhile examining a traffic accident where a woman was badly hurt, the unorthodox police commander finds proof of even more gruesome facts and decides to deal out vengeful justice.Some kind of mexican August underground but even more gruesome and even worse. There is not justification for the presence of the camera in the found footage style flashbacks, so it's hard to take what happens seriously. Atroz tries so hard to be something else that just another shitty movie with ultra violence that there is a " plot twist " at the end (don't really know if I can talk about such thing as a " plot " here though). Pointless disgusting shit.
- DirectorSrdjan SpasojevicStarsSrdjan 'Zika' TodorovicSergej TrifunovicJelena GavrilovicAn aging porn star agrees to participate in an "art film" in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film.Not a bad movie but not great either. It's more a thriller than a horror movie, but the extreme violence is quite misleading. This movie is a bit nihilistic and self-concious, but I don't really know if it's in a good or in a bad way.
Anyways it deserves a watch so that you can make your own opinion about this " famous " movie. - DirectorDamien LeoneStarsJenna KanellSamantha ScaffidiDavid Howard ThorntonOn Halloween night, Tara Heyes finds herself as the obsession of a sadistic murderer known as Art the Clown.The climax of pointless violence. The clown was interesting and scary for the first 10 minutes but afterwards this 80 min movie doesn't do anything beside showing gruesome kills. This movie was never-ending, it did seem to last hours, and that's maybe the most terrifying thing about Terrifier .
Please do yourself a favor don't watch this shit - DirectorKôji ShiraishiStarsKotoha HiroyamaHiroaki KawatsureShigeo ÔsakoA doctor kidnaps a young couple and forces them into a game of torment that slowly extinguishes their hopes for survival.Surprisingly not THAT bad. Still not a great movie but Gurotesuku seems to have a point. The killer is " almost " likable, and it's interesting to see why and to try to understand that's he's not just some kind of evil monster, it's a bit more nuanced than that (+the finale is really grotesque and funny)
- DirectorFred VogelStarsKyle DealmanCasey EganeyDan FriedmanTwo serial killers go on a murdering rampage as one films the outcome from behind a video camera.If Henry Portait of a Serial killer had been made with no budget, no subtelty, no character development and overall no cinematography.
- DirectorRuggero DeodatoStarsRobert KermanFrancesca CiardiPerry PirkanenDuring a rescue mission into the Amazon rainforest, a professor stumbles across lost film shot by a missing documentary crew.Yeah it's hard to watch and yeah it contains, very sadly, animal cruelty. But if you can endure that, Cannibal Holocaust has a strong point and decades later it is still very relevant.
(+first and clever use of the found footage style) - DirectorAlexandre BustilloJulien MauryStarsAlysson ParadisJean-Baptiste TabourinClaude LuléFour months after the death of her husband, a woman on the brink of motherhood is tormented in her home by a strange woman who wants her unborn baby.One of the few movies were the ultra violence has a purpose. It is mostly realistic and, unlike most of the other films here, doesn't cross the line where the violence becomes pointless and ridiculous. À l'intérieur is genuinely frightening as a horror movie
- DirectorSteven R. MonroeStarsSarah ButlerJeff BransonAndrew HowardA writer who is brutalized during her cabin retreat seeks revenge on her attackers, who left her for dead.The illustration of the law of retaliation, nothing else. No character developpement, no creative idea, pure exploitation rape and revenge. Not really interesting in my opinion.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsWillem DafoeCharlotte GainsbourgStorm Acheche SahlstrømA grieving couple retreat to their cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage, but nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.Weird. Seemed to have something to say at the beginning but eventually reveals itself as some abstract shit that doesn't really have a meaning.
- DirectorXavier GensStarsKarina TestaAurélien WiikPatrick LigardesA gang of young thieves flee Paris during the violent aftermath of a political election, only to hole up at an Inn run by neo-Nazis.Pretty efficient to deliver a thick, sticky claustrophobic atmosphere. Very violent and works OK as an horror movie. According to the director Frontière(s) has a point but it's not particularily interesting or well done. Some scenes are really frightening though.
- DirectorAlexandre AjaStarsCécile de FranceMaïwennPhilippe NahonBest friends Marie and Alexia decide to spend a quiet weekend at Alexia's parents' secluded farmhouse. But on the night of their arrival, the girls' idyllic getaway turns into an endless night of horror.Dumb movie, but some intense gore/scary scenes.
- DirectorDaniel GrouStarsClaude LegaultRémy GirardMartin DubreuilA doctor seeks revenge by kidnapping, torturing and killing the man who raped and murdered his young daughter.Is the law of retaliation the solution to overcome the loss of someone we love ? Great movie with a mature approach on this subject.
- DirectorPier Paolo PasoliniStarsPaolo BonacelliGiorgio CataldiUberto Paolo QuintavalleIn World War II Italy, four fascist libertines round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental, and sexual torture.Quite dull once you get the point like 20 minutes in this 2h long movie.
- DirectorRob JabbazStarsBerant ZhuRegina LeiYing-Ru ChenA young couple trying to reunite amid a city ravaged by a plague that turns its victims into deranged, bloodthirsty sadists.Over the top gore in this movie about a virus driving people mad. Light commentary about the absurd reactions individuals and government display during a pandemic.
- DirectorHideshi HinoStarsHiroshi TamuraKirara YûgaoAnja BlagojevicLate at night, a woman is kidnapped by an unknown assailant and taken back to his blood-spattered dungeon, where he turns her into a "flower of blood and flesh" through a series of dismemberment and evisceration.Pointless (but short at least)
- DirectorFranck KhalfounStarsElijah WoodNora ArnezederAmerica OlivoAs he helps a young artist with her upcoming exhibition, the owner of a mannequin shop's deadly, suppressed desires come to the surface.Great remake. Put you in the mind of a sick man who suffers from his condition but cannot be helped. Gore and tragedy.
- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsMonica BellucciVincent CasselAlbert DupontelEvents over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in an underpass tunnel.Movie known for two and especially one very intense scene (a 10/15 minutes sequence-shot of a woman beeing raped and beaten). It is hard to watch indeed. The " Memento-like editing " still feels like a cheap trick to distract viewers from the fact that this is some kind of Rape & Revenge movie, maybe with just a bit more emphasis on drama and characters than usually in these kind of movies.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsMatt DillonBruno GanzUma ThurmanIn five episodes, failed architect and vicious sociopath Jack recounts his elaborately orchestrated murders -- each, as he views them, a towering work of art that defines his life's work as a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest.Trying to understand the mind of a serial killer
- DirectorDarren Lynn BousmanStarsTobin BellShawnee SmithAngus MacfadyenJigsaw abducts a doctor in order to keep himself alive while he watches his new apprentice put an unlucky citizen named Jeff through a brutal test.Nice conclusion for the original trilogy.
- DirectorGregory WilsonStarsWilliam AthertonBlythe AuffarthBlanche BakerFollows the unspeakable torture and abuses committed on a teenage girl in the care of her aunt and the boys who witness and fail to report the crime.First psychologic violence then physical violence which become quit gory towards the end (even though it suggests way more than it shows). Really hard but worth watching.
- DirectorDarren Lynn BousmanStarsDonnie WahlbergBeverley MitchellFranky GA detective and his team must rescue 8 people trapped in a factory by the twisted serial killer known as Jigsaw.Dumb characters and dumb movie except for the great ending. The film that made Saw a " torture-porn " franchise.
- DirectorEli RothStarsJay HernandezDerek RichardsonEythor GudjonssonThree backpackers head to a Slovak city that promises to meet their hedonistic expectations, with no idea of the hell that awaits them.Interesting and frightening concept but shitty film. The introduction scene itself is way better and scarier than the whole movie.
- DirectorPascal LaugierStarsMorjana AlaouiMylène JampanoïCatherine BéginA young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend, who is also a victim of child abuse, on a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity.Self indulgent movie with weak acting, screenplay, editing. Martyrs made me laugh (almost a " nanar ") but the make-up/costumes are pretty good at least.
