10 Hardest-To-Watch Movie Scenes

What starts out as a fun trip into the wilderness to see the Cahulawassee River valley before it's turned into a lake, soon turns into a fight for survival when four city boys encounter the locals. Unwelcoming at best and viciously savage at worst, there's a scene that will stick with viewers long after the ending credits have rolled.

That scene is when Ed (John Voight) and Bobby (Ned Beatty) get stranded on a riverbank after beginning their canoe trip. Finding the locals that they previously looked down upon wandering through the forest with a shot gun, they're taken captive - one tied to a tree, and one brutalised and forcibly raped. The whole ordeal is a very uncomfortable watch, but what makes it so much worse is his attacker's grunts of "squeal like a pig".

Some of the most horrible noises are created, and Ed is soon targeted as the next in line for their sexual abuse. There isn't anything that can make up for experiencing Bobby's pain, but watching his attacker get a crossbow bolt through the chest is somewhat satisfying. Rape revenge movies are almost never focused on the male equivalent - so this scene, and motivation, came out of nowhere to say the least.
