Discuss all and any scary movies you want to here.
What have you seen? What do you love? What has traumatized you?
I'll start with Cannibal Holocaust. Absolutely gritty and terrifying... it just feels so real... Real animals slaughtered... rape... brutal murders... and it all just feels so real, so real that the director was arrested at one point for making a snuff film...
These are the worst parts of the movie. I'm not that pro animals rights or anything... but... its real and it hits you extremely hard. The Coatimundi is a cute little thing... and it's death is horrifying... and pathetic.
I almost recommend staying away from the movie, to be honest.

Many of the censorship issues with Cannibal Holocaust concern the on-screen killings of animals, which remains a major issue today. Seven animals were killed during the film's production, six of which are seen on screen:
A coatimundi (mistaken as a muskrat in the film) is stabbed multiple times in the neck by an actor.
A large turtle (about three feet long) is captured in the water and dragged to shore, where it is then decapitated and its limbs and shell removed. The actors proceed to cook and eat the turtle.
A large spider is killed with a machete.
A snake is killed with a machete.
A squirrel monkey has its face cut off with a machete.
A pig is kicked twice and then shot with a rifle.
