    11 Goriest Scenes in Non-Horror Movies

    November 29th, 2018 - by Sharon Knolle - 1 min read

    Not all gore is reserved for horror movies. Violence-loving directors like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Mel Gibson love to get graphic, too. Here are some of the goriest scenes in movies that aren't (technically) horror films.

    'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' (1982)

    star trek ii the wrath of khan 1982

    Hard to forget that cringe-inducing, cover-your-eyes (and ears!) scene when Khan plants the ultra-disgusting Ceti eel in Chekov's (Walter Koenig) ear. He also puts one in Capt. Terrell and then both proceed to crawl/burrow into their skin and toward the brain. KHAAAAN! indeed.

    'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock' (1984)

    star trek iii the search for spock 1984

    Another grosser-than-necessary moment that Trek fans will never forget. While on the Genesis Planet, Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) is attacked by a slimy, spiky, oversized worm. But it messed with the wrong Klingon. He soon strangle-claws it to death, drawing some very black, very gooey blood from the oversized microbe in the process.

    'Casino' (1995)

    casino 1995

    In Scorsese's Las Vegas crime opus, things get far more bloody than they did in "Goodfellas." Take the horrific "head in a vise" torture scene. Followed (karmically) by Joe Pesci's character and his brother being beaten to death by baseball bats. Both cruel and unusual.

    'Braveheart' (1995)

    braveheart 1995

    In a movie filled with blood and guts, there's still nothing like having a pissed-off William Wallace burst into your house on horseback and put a mace through your face. Puts a new spin on the term "crushing defeat."

    'Donnie Brasco' (1997)

    donnie brasco 1997

    An FBI agent (Johnny Depp) goes undercover with the mob in this based-on-a-true-story drama. Part of that ugly truth? Sawing up a stack of bodies. (That sawing sound. Ack!) Donnie nearly gets sick and so do we.

    'Saving Private Ryan' (1998)

    saving private ryan 1998

    The opening 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg's World War II epic is one of the most brutal battle sequences ever filmed. We feel like we're right there with the actors, dodging bullets and reeling from the carnage as the men fight their way onto Normandy Beach.

    'Gangs of New York' (2002)

    gangs of new york 2002

    Scorsese loves a bloody fight, and there's few bloodier than the opening battle between two warring factions in old New York.  Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis) proves how he earned his nickname as he viciously takes out Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson) in this bloodbath.

    'Passion of the Christ' (2004)

    passion of the christ 2004

    Mel Gibson's R-rated, bloodier-than-bloody tale of Christ's crucifixion definitely can't be shown in Sunday School. Roger Ebert argued it should have been given an NC-17 for the extreme, graphic violence -- like when we Christ's ribs after a brutal whipping.

    'Kill Bill Vol. 1' (2003)

    kill bill vol 1 2003

    In Quentin Tarantino's tale of revenge, the extended battle between The Bride (Uma Thurman) and a yakuza gang is so grisly it's almost cartoonish. Even when shot in black-and-white, so many lopped-off limbs make us queasy.

    '127 Hours' (2010)

    127 hours 2010

    If you didn't want to see "the movie where the guy chops off his own arm to survive," maybe that was a good call. Because he does, indeed, cut it off in a stomach-churning scene that helped earn James Franco a Best Actor nomination.

    'Drive' (2011)

    drive 2011

    Beneath the cool exterior of Ryan Gosling's unnamed getaway driver is a stone-cold killing machine. Take that eye-blistering elevator scene, in which he kills an armed man by stomping him to death. It makes the hammer attack scene look mild by comparison.
