Creepiest crime scenes/corpses in movies.

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Decided to come up with this thread after watching "Seven" and this french thriller called "The crimsom rivers" (with Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel) on cable last night.
As much as I enjoy the fomer's murder victims, the later had a fantastic moment when Cassell's character is looking at a photograph of a highway accident involving a semi truck and a small girl...and the lightning/illumination allows you to see the photograph from behind....
Jesus, the corpse on that picture was gruesome as hell....anyone else has any moments like these involving corpses or crime scenes in movies?

Last King of Scotland has a "WW-OAH" corpse show up for like three seconds.

Devil's Rejects. The truck kill is hilarious when it happens. The cleanup scene? Not so much.

Se7en. "Sloth".

The first kill in "The Ring" still bothers me when they flash to the corpse in the closet. Eek.

That fucking grimacing corpse in the first segment of Bava's Black Sabbath is prime nightmare fuel.

Honestly, the most unsettling "crime scenes" to me, are the ones that show the aftermath of genocide in africa or anywhere else. The one that comes to mind are the depiction of dead boides in the beginning of Black Hawk down or the disposal of bodies in schindler's list. Shit, I just remembered the pile of bodies in "Life is Beautiful." Crimes against humanity sadden me, im too much of a bleeding heart.

On the otherhand, I hand take gluttony out of seven, because now whenever I eat canned spaghetti (which isn't often) my stomach feels distended.

The gluttony scene in Se7en is far worse for me than the sloth scene.

Maybe it's because I've never eaten canned pasta in my life, but come on: sloth! HUUUUUURRRGGHHHH!

Monster House.

The scene in Hotel Rwanda when Paul and his coworker are driving on a bumpy road, only to find out that the road is littered with bodies, was pretty disturbing.

The DVD slipsheet has a picture of the cleanup scene. Sheesh.

Ditto for whoever said the kid in the closet from The Ring.

This one sucks, mainly because I can't remember the name of the movie, but also because it may have been a Lifetime Original Movie. Being a LOM, it involved the murder of a woman by her seemingly mild-mannered husband. So, the part I remember is of the husband's parents settling down for the night in their son's (and dead daughter-in-law's) bedroom. He's in jail on murder charges, so they must be taking care of the house while he's incarcerated. I think that they are under the impression that they just had a fight that got out of hand and he killed her accidentally, she whacked her head on a dresser or something like that.

The cleaning crew has already been through and whatever they used caused the blood residue that was left from the murder to glow in the dark. Or maybe it was somthing the CSI guys (although I think this movie was a few years before CSI came out) used to detect blood. The point is, the parents turn out the lights and the room is bright with the glow of all the blood smudging the floor and the walls and the bedding, and there are bloody handprints everywhere. And it's all in this pale flourescent blue color. There was just something about that scene, sorta cheesy as it was, that was really chilling.

The movie itself was pretty disappointing, but I think the reveal of the titular corpse in The Black Dahlia is really effective.

When Naomi Watts turns over the body in the bed in the apartment in Mulholland Drive it freaked me out.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. So many corpses, so little blood. Who doesn't have blood?!?!?! It still haunts me.

What? No Bad Boys 2 chase scene with corpses flying around and/or being run over yet?

And 300. The wall of corpses. Ouch, you wouldn't want to be near that in mid-july... Or Behind Enemy Lines, with Owen Wilson hiding in that ditch surrounded by the massacred kosovars.

Oh, and I'd never thought I'd write that, but what about... Ratatouille? The scene of the hanging rats behind that window shop had at least three or four kids crying in my screening.

It's pretty much universally reviled, but the abduction/shower/drowning/necrophilia scene of Vincent D'Onofrio's victim in The Cell creeps me out to this day. Of course, the showroom of all of D'Onofrio's victims (especially the smiling corpse in the dentist's chair) creeped me out more than pretty much anything I've scene before or since. Don't know if that one counts as a crime scene, as it took place inside his head.
