Also, the bit from "Watership Down" when all the burrows are being filled in, and the rabbits all suffocate. That was fairly disturbing too - especially for a movie about cartoon bunnies.
I loved Saving Private Ryan, a bit gory like they opening scene on Ohmaha beach and the stab scene, but it was a great movie overall. During that scene I was yelling at the other guy waiting at the stairs to go help him But I understand he was paralyzed with fear, so whatever.
Yeah, see that's what I mean.
I was totally fine with the opening scenes, where limbs were being blown off all over the place - I guess I'm probably used to seeing that in movies - but I found the stabbing scene far more unsettling.
Guns seem too detached to be really horrifying, whereas knives/chainsaws/hooks/etc are so much more "visceral".

Anyone ever see "Perdita Durango"? Seemed to combine very graphic violence, rape (of a man, by a woman), etc - with real slapstick comedy. Very strange...
Kind of like a Tarantino movie, only not shit.
How is that not gory? Granted the special FX are looking dated now (like stated before), but its still gory.

Oh dear. I bet they try and make it family-friendly, and cut out all the trippy / traumatizing stuff. It'll probably end up more like "The Animals of Farthing Wood"...
I guess DBS was a bit gory after all, but probably no worse than most creature movies. It certainly never stood out as being anything out of the ordinary when I watched it.
