00:00What's up everybody, Griffey here. If you like horror movies with gallons of corn syrup
00:04blood, you've come to the right place. Here are the Top 5 Most Brutal Moments of 2024.
00:10Time for you and Tigger to have some fun.
00:15Number 5, Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey 2. Thank God for legal machinations. I love
00:21a world where we're constantly assaulted by Disney adults ruining things that are meant
00:25for children, and now we can turn around and ruin their cartoon gods by making them into
00:29awful horror movie monsters. That's exactly the world we need. Essentially the setup for
00:34these movies is that Christopher Robin revealed the existence of these creatures, right? Putting
00:39their very existence at stake. So Winnie the Pooh and friends decide they're going to come
00:43to the real world as gigantic murderers and take everybody out. The best scene in this
00:48movie has to be the furry rave. Winnie the Pooh is carrying a baseball bat with a bear
00:54trap on the end of it, right? Already a cool image. A girl runs away from him. Winnie the
00:58Pooh swings the bat. The bear trap goes out and clamps hard on this young girl's head.
01:03As Pooh yanks back, she is decapitated. Her head flies off. His big bulbous body gets
01:08in a Babe Ruth stance and just yanks this head into a cloud of red mist, right? Just
01:14absolutely crushes it. It's just a euphoric moment, right? Watching Pooh not be, oh, bothered
01:20by murder is exactly what I needed in this movie.
01:29Number four, Smile 2. This is one of those movies that had me, like, curling up in a
01:34ball in the movie theater. As I get older, I find watching bodies destroyed really hard
01:39for me. The story centers around pop star Sky Riley on the comeback tour after she was
01:44in a nearly fatal car accident that killed her actor boyfriend. When you're a celebrity,
01:48everything you do is put under the microscope. When we watch fans come into her apartment
01:53and run after her naked with their grotesque bodies, that's horrifying. Have you ever been
01:57appalled and horrified by TikTok dances? You will in this movie. But the moment that
02:02really is the most brutal in this film is at the finale at the concert. Before her,
02:07she sees evil Sky Riley smiling at her. The demon literally rips her scar open, her stomach
02:12scar from her car accident, and crawls out, this giant, toothy, mini-mouthed demon and
02:18stares at her and mocks her as her fans cheer and clap. The thing that really sells this
02:23moment and makes it unforgettable is when we cut back to the real world and Sky Riley
02:28is kind of shaking and trembling on the stage while no one helps her. That stardom really
02:33sells it. The fact that she can't ever be a normal person and everyone already thinks
02:37she's a crazy drama queen, that's what the fear of this movie is, right? Is that no one
02:42believes the truth that you know happened. Then Sky stands up, she smiles, and mayhem
02:48ensues. The last shot of the movie is just watching all of her fans scream and run in
02:52horror as they now possibly have the smile demon. This movie ends telling us that 10,000
02:58people might all be starting the first moments of their smile sequels, and that is horrifying.
03:05You said that you wanted to do yoga. This doesn't look like yoga to me.
03:12Three. In a Violent Nature was a very cool movie that came out this year with a really
03:16clever inversion on the slasher that we've all seen thousands of times. This is third
03:21person shooter Gears of War stuff, right? Essentially, imagine a Friday the 13th movie,
03:25but instead of cutting away to boobs and teenage sex, we just walk through the woods, right?
03:30This is like actually being on a hike. It manages to be really engaging. It's a fun
03:35new dynamic of what is the killer doing between moments in the movies that we've all watched
03:40and loved. Right as you think, all right, I don't know if this is going to last for
03:4490 minutes and I'm going to care, we find a girl doing yoga on a cliff and all hell
03:50breaks loose. The girl just starts with a class that, hey, what's up? She doesn't look
03:54back. She thinks it's someone she knows coming to enjoy the yoga, right? Johnny proceeds
03:58to punch a gigantic hook on a chain through her heart. As a horror fan, you're like, that's
04:02a pretty awesome kill. That's hardcore. I got it. The movie says, niche, niche, not
04:06enough. He takes the other end of the hook, plants it into her forehead, puts his giant
04:11boot on her back, and begins to, with tug-of-war strength, fight and pull and yanks this poor
04:18woman through the hole he has created in her own chest. I have nothing against women
04:24that do yoga. I just love kills. The brutality of the scene is the way he just sits over
04:32her now pretzel body like it's nothing, takes his hooks back, and just pushes her down a
04:37hill. From a very wide shot of this beautiful vista, we just watch this crumpled up yoga
04:43girl roll down a hill. It really reminds you that to these slashers, we are nothing more
04:48than meat. That is as brutal as it gets.
04:56Number two, Terrifier 3. Of course the shower scene in Terrifier 3 was going to be on this
05:01list. This movie has multiple scenes that could make this list. When Arthur Clown replaces
05:06the mall Santa, and we just watch parents let their kids sit on his lap as if that's
05:11something that should be allowed, and Arthur Clown leaving a package bomb there as a present
05:16that a kid opens and blows up all the kids who were there to get their picture taken
05:20with Santa, is truly one of the wildest things I've seen in a horror movie.
05:25But the shower scene tops it, right? The college kid somehow turned on by talking about past
05:30traumas and true crime podcasts. Go to the shower for a little wet and wild time. You
05:34know exactly what you're supposed to do in college. I heard this happen in college. I
05:38never got in college, no big deal. Just kidding, I was a scourge. He takes that chainsaw to
05:45every part of these guys. By the end, we're just watching that guy's little twig and berries
05:49bouncing around as they nick off of the chainsaw's chain. It is truly impossible to take your
05:55eyes off of, even though you want to at all times. We see her get it, we see him get it,
06:01and you're like, this is insane. I can't believe I'm in an actual human movie theater. Not
06:06a smutty theater of the days gone by, but a normal movie theater where my mom goes to
06:10watch historical dramas, watching something like this. And not only that, a ton of people
06:16did. How is this movie so successful and so vile at the same time? Art truly has made
06:23a deal with the devil.
06:24Que es una cabeza? Una cabeza?
06:28Number one, The Coffee Table. So, I can hear some of you now, technically this movie came
06:33out internationally a couple years ago, but this movie hit for American audiences to rent
06:38and stream this year, and it terrified me, so I'm talking about it. Deal with it. The
06:44story settles around a couple who is a little older who have their first baby. A beautiful
06:49little baby that we see at the start of the movie. They're in a furniture store arguing
06:53about the coffee table they're about to buy. Of course, the husband, in some kind of horrifying
06:58midlife crisis, wants to buy a table that is two naked golden women holding up a glass
07:04tabletop. His wife says it's a bad idea, but he puts his foot down. As the dad is putting
07:08the table together, he realizes it's missing a part. He tries to put it together anyways
07:14with his little infant baby by his side, and in one of the most hideous audio cues of all
07:20time, the table breaks, and we are struck by insane silence.
07:27You want this banana?
07:34The rest of this movie is a shocking endurance test. Watching this man sit with what has
07:40happened for two hours and not acknowledge it? This movie I've heard described as a black
07:47comedy. I don't know that there's a shade of black dark enough to call this a comedy.
07:52Imagine you're sitting at a dinner table. Your wife and brother are just making a name
07:57boring conversation. You're trying to hammer wine. You know that in the next room, your
08:03child is expired, and then your wife is trying to show the baby off to your brother and his
08:08new girlfriend, and you've got to try to block that at every turn. The kind of... I'm sweating
08:13talking about this movie. Just imagining this day is one of the worst cinematic experiences
08:19I've ever had.
08:20Brutal.
08:21It's brutal. The most brutal. Oh my god. I'm so sweaty. My fat dad body can't take this
08:30anymore.
08:31How do you follow talking about the coffee table for an outro? I'm wiped out. Like. Subscribe.
08:37Please. Please. I need your help after all of that.
