Here we go, here we go, here we go yo!! Zombie Zane coming to ya live and direct once again from the mother- humpin’ seven-six-one-oh-seven. So this week Sasha and I are fuss cuss and discussing shocking horror movies. Not that PG-13 shit that seems to flood the genre, but that good old fashioned WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT kinda movie. Ya dig? Anyway, there’s a ton of those kinda films out there. Ya just gotta know where to find them. And lucky for you, I just happen to have a pretty good list of some of those kind of movies. Now this list is in no particular order, but all the films listed here are sure to give you a few ‘WHAT THE FUCK!’ moments. So kick on back, and let yours truly share with you TEN SHOCKING HORROR MOVIES.
 
ZOMBIE ZANE’S TEN SHOCKING HORROR MOVIES


ANTICHRIST (2009) Written and directed by Lars von trier, this bad boy is truly shocking. Ya got Willem Dafoe ejaculating blood, ya got his wife taking a pair of scissors and cutting off her own clit, (and yes, they show it) ya got plenty of violence, what’s not to like, right? Now this film won a ton of awards, but it was a little to artsy-fartsy for me. But for pure shock value, it’s worth a watch. I give this a solid 2.5 out of 5.

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR (2007) This film is an adaptation of the 1989 novel of the same name by Jack Ketchum. It’s based (loosely) on the true story of the murder of Sylvia Likens. This is by far one of the most shocking films I have ever seen. And I ain’t talking the watered down Lifetime movie version. Make sure you see the one with Ketchum’s name attached to it. This was the first and only time I have cried during a horror film. BE WARNED!! NOT AN EASY WATCH!! I give this film a solid 4.5 out of 5. It’s shocking beyond belief.

SALO or the 120 DAYS OF SODOM (1975) This shocking film is based on the book ‘120 Days of Sodom’ written by the Marquis de Sade. The film is about four corrupt libertines who capture eighteen teenage boys and girls and subject them to four months of extreme violence, sadism, and extreme mental and sexual torture. I mean they force this one girl to eat a plate of shit. Literally. Not figuratively. EWW!! There’s ass rape, scalping, branding, eyes and tongues getting cut out, it’s a bad motherfucker man. And it’s been banned in like 60 countries. This film gets a 4.75 out of 5 on the shock meter.

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (1980) This film is full of graphic gore, sexual violence and cruelty to animals. Now in no way am I fan of the animal abuse. In fact I loathe people who are cruel to animals. But that aside, this lil’ gem is down right gritty. It is also considered to be one of the top twenty controversial films of all time. It’s about a film crew who go into the Amazon to investigate the disappearance of another film crew. The second team finds the lost film cans and learns the fate of the first team. As I said, this film is brutally disturbing. I give it a 4.75 out of 5 on the shock scale.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983) This film is a cult classic horror film written and directed by Robert Hiltzik. Yes, it’s your typical teenage slasher film, and yes it’s campy and over the top. Then why is it on my list? Well, this film just happens to have one of the most shocking endings for a horror film that I’ve ever seen. I saw it for the first time when I was like 10 and the end made me cry. I was so confused and freaked out that I needed a hug from my mom. Needless to say I give it a solid 3 out of 5 on the shock-o- meter. A must own for fans of the slasher genre.

THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE : FIRST SEQUENCE (2010) This Dutch horror film brings a whole new meaning to the term ass to mouth. It’s about a mad surgeon who kidnaps three tourists and surgically joins them mouth to ass creating a human centipede. And oh yeah, they all share the same digestive tract. What that means is if you’re the one in the middle, you eat the shit of the first part of the centipede and the person behind you eats your poo. Now not for nothin’ but if I were to fall victim of the human centipede, I’d rather be in the lead. Rather to let someone eat my shit than to eat someone else’s. What a shitty movie, huh? Not really. It’s actually good and I give it a solid 4.5 out of 5.

SCRAPBOOK (2000) This film is about a young woman who is kidnaped, raped, abused, and tortured over the span of several days. The title of the movie refers to the scrapbook that the kidnapper/rapist/serial killer keeps to document his crimes. Now this film one several awards including in 2007 where it won best feature at the FRIGHT NIGHT FILM FESTIVAL in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s fo sho full of shock, some say even border line porn but nonetheless, it’s still a must see. It gets a 3.5 out of 5 and is available on Netflix.

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978) Roger Ebert gave this film no stars and called it a bag of garbage. FUCK HIM!! What does he know about anything?? This movie is a rape-revenge kinda deal and yes, it’s controversial, yes it’s not an easy watch and has scenes of gang rape, violence etc.etc. But it is shocking. And that’s the point of this list, yes? So take my advice and if you wanna be shocked and see a woman get some revenge, then watch this bad motherfucker. 4.75 out of 5.

THE GORE GORE GIRLS (1972) Mostly known for the scene when chocolate milk spurts out of a severed nipple, this over the top gore fest is actually rather amusing. It does have some shock to it i.e. the scene where a girls ass is mutilated with a meat tenderizer and salt and peppered. And the above mentioned nipple scene It’s kinda an over the top slasher thing so if you’re into that kinda genre, give it look-see. It’s a 2.5 out of 5 on the shock-o-meter. Not the best, but you could do worse.

HIGH TENSION (2003) Directed by Alexandre Aja, this French horror film absolutely delivers the goods!! Nothing like a severed head blow job to get the movie rolling, yes. This film has everything from bloody killings, to strong language, some nudity, everything you need to make a truly shocking horror film. And once again, Roger Eber (Mr. Horror expert) or so he thinks, hated this film. Again, what the fuck does he know?? This is a good solid horror film. It has all necessary ingredients. So on that note, fuck him and his horror movie hating ass. I rate this movie a 4 out of 5! A must own for horror fans.

Well, there it is. Some of the most shocking horror films ever. Hope you enjoyed this list. Sasha and I will be reviewing two of the films from this list so make sure you check those out as well. Until next time, take care, stay a-scared, and I am out!
