Films you just couldn't stomach...
Discussion
OK, I had just started to watch Saw 'the final chapter' which seems to be the the last in a long line of pretty poor films. So I'm about 25 minutes in and I decide to turn it off - not because it's a bad film, I just really couldn't continue watching that level of gore.
The gory bits were pretty poor to watch with the crappy CGI but - WOW!! It was far too much for me to handle.
This is the first time I have ever turned a film off cause I couldn't handle it, I generally have a pretty weak stomach and I'm very, very squeamish so it's perhaps not totally unexpected but I'm pretty irked about it nonetheless. It's not really my kind of horror film though, much prefer there to be a monster in it.
Anyway, got me thinking, has anyone here had to turn off a film before because it was a bit too much?
While I await your experiences, I'm going to man-up with some beer and a shot of moose testosterone

Saw 'the final chapter' ...I'm about 25 minutes in
I stumbled with the Saw films too - but you did a damn sight better than me!A friend introduced me to the first one and it totally twisted my melon for the following few days!! I've avoided the whole collection since (and I'm usually fine with horror, blood & guts). When I inquired how the same friend got on with 'final chapter' she just sent me a text saying - 'yer not bad, wrapped up the whole collection nicely'

Dude wheres my car - Maybe I was having an off day.

Notting Hill. Horrific.
s**t, i quite like it....... 
(ok, the floppy haired sop is a tad annoying, but the supporting cast is excellent)
Back on Topic, no matter how many times i have seen it, the opening sequence of "Saving Private Ryan" still has me looking away in places (and the "knife" incident later in the film)
