History MohsScaleOfViolenceHardness / FilmLevel10

* ''Film/TheFirstOmen'' (2023) [[note]] Mainly here for [[spoiler:a man getting impaled by a construction vehicle and the camera lingering on his entrails, showing he is HalfTheManHeUsedToBe]]. Otherwise, level 9 for detailed birthing scenes, including one [[spoiler:with a demon's claw pushing out of the mother's vagina]] (this initially led to an NC-17 rating), pictures of hideously deformed babies, a man getting the back of his head split open by a church roof with very brief sight of his brain, and [[spoiler:a nun hanging and self-immolating herself]]. As a whole, considerably BloodierAndGorier than other entries in the franchise. [[/note]]

* ''Film/TheUntoldStory'' (1993) [[note]] For the scene where a man kills most of a family in bloody and gory fashion, in which some of the victims include innocent, traumatized children. Otherwise a 9 for scenes where a man shoves a packet of chopsticks up a woman's vagina (only the aftermath is seen, and not explicitly). Brief sight of body parts washed up on a beach, cannibalism, [[ImAHumanitarian preparation of human meat]], etc. [[/note]]

* ''Film/{{Eraserhead}}'' (1977) [[note]] For [[spoiler: the explicit, drawn out dissection and gradual grisly death of the "baby"]]. Even though it's in black and white, it's brutal enough to reach this level. [[/note]]

[[/note]]

* ''Film/FinalDestination5'' (2011) [[note]] By far has the most brutal deaths in the series, and returns the darker tone. A cliffhanging victim is melted alive by hot oil before being de-gloved, another is nastily impaled on a sail mast (guts burst out in 3-D), another is impaled by many pipes before smashing onto concrete, at least 2 are torn apart by falling debris (the pieces fly at screen in slow-mo), another is stuck by countless needles before having their head smashed.

The aftermath is similarly gruesome as well, showing an [[GrossUpCloseUp extremely disturbing close-up]] of his horrifically charred corpse, revealing that the burns have left his whole body completely unrecognizable.]] Otherwise level 6-7 for a couple electric chair executions that result in the victims having a few burn marks, Wild Bill's death, and the brutal (though thankfully off-screen) murder of two girls. [[/note]]

* ''Film/InTheTallGrass'' (2019) [[note]] For [[spoiler: Natalie's head-crushing death]] and [[spoiler: Becky's baby cannibalized (we see the aftermath)]]. Other violence like stabbings in the eye with a pair of scissors are on level 8. [[/note]]

* ''Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft'' (1972, 2009) [[note]] Victim raped, tortured and then gorily killed. The remake goes even further with the vengeful violence against the villians; particularly [[spoiler: Francis and Krug's]] deaths. [[/note]]

* ''Film/{{P2}}'' (2007) [[note]] For [[spoiler: Harper's]] CruelAndUnusualDeath: being tied to a chair, repeatedly bashed in the head with a wrench until he's covered in blood; then smashed against a wall by a car, making his guts burst out, somehow without killing him; and finishing him off by smashing his head with the car, splattering brains all over the windshield; with several additional shots of the mangled corpse afterwards. [[/note]]

* ''Film/{{Pet}}'' (2016) [[note]] For [[spoiler: Nate's death by having his head smashed and his subsequent gory disposal]]. [[/note]]

* ''Film/ThePriceWePay'' (2023) [[note]] For [[spoiler: Jodi having her]] face hideously metled by acid, tearing their own eye out, and stomach cut open before finally getting tangled and squeezed by barbed wire until their head explodes.

* ''Film/Scream2022'' [[note]] It ranks here [[spoiler: for Richie's death, getting hideously stabbed numerous times all over by Sam in an extremely animalistic fashion with lots of blood spraying out, causing him to bleed out profusely before getting his throat gruesomely slashed open and finally being shot thrice post-mortem.]] Otherwise level 8-9. [[/note]]

[[/note]]

Otherwise a level 9 for a possessed woman slowly carving her face and throat open with a knife, along with other images and videos of prior "suicides" [[/note]]

* ''Film/{{Society}}'' (1989) [[note]] [[{{Gorn}} Copious gore]], [[FanDisservice nudity]], and [[{{Squick}} incomprehensibly disgusting]] and {{psychosexual|Horror}} {{body horror}} (the most extreme instance being the shunting at the end, a gruesome blood orgy which probably has to be [[NauseaFuel the most graphic and revolting orgy ever put to film]], and the deaths of [[spoiler: Dave Blanchard]] and [[spoiler: Ted Ferguson]] via being slowly and painfully absorbed by the members of the Society, and dying via a hand up his crotch that grabs him through the mouth and eye sockets like a bowling ball before pulling him inside out, respectively, certainly help). While it is mostly played for BlackComedy, it's so grotesque that it earns this level. [[/note]]

* ''Film/Suspiria2018'' [[note]] Prolonged sequence where innocent victim is contorted in brutal and disgusting ways [[spoiler: they survive and are painfully hooked in all limbs and then dragged away]], ritual disembowelment, extreme head explosions. [[/note]]

* ''Film/Terrifier2'' (2022) [[note]] Very much in step with its predecessor, [[SequelEscalation but goes even beyond that]] with multiple hideously graphic scenes of extreme violence and excessive gore. Stabbings and shootings with visceral detail are commonplace. A teen girl is sliced up, scalped, and skinned, with bleach and salt poured into her wounds. Heads are graphically severed and used as Halloween props. Corpses, both animal and human, are defiled. A man’s [[EyeScream eye is ripped straight from the socket]] and the killer pops it in his own eye socket. Another man is stabbed between the legs and has his genitalia severed. Live faces are hideously mangled on several occasions. [[spoiler:A woman gives birth to a severed head.]] Although the grand majority of it is done in a [[BlackComedy much more exaggerated and darkly comedic fashion]] compared to its predecessor, it still reaches this level with ease. [[/note]]

* ''Film/WeAreTheFlesh'' (2016) [[note]] [[spoiler: For Mariano getting cannibalized by his cult before the end]]. [[/note]]

* ''Film/Smile2022'' [[note]] For [[spoiler: the reveal of the monster's true form where it peels off all of its skin,]] along with a scene that shows the gruesome aftermath of a man's face after he was possessed to bludgeon himself to death. Otherwise a level 9 for a possessed woman slowly carving her throat open with a knife, along with other images and videos of prior "suicides" [[/note]]

** ''Film/SawIII'' (2006) [[note]] Bound victim has all limbs slowly twisted one by one until the bone sticks out. Another bound victim has her ribs very graphically torn out in slow-motion, spilling out all of her organs. [[/note]]
