I agree, rape scenes like Irriversable and I Spit on Your Grave are pretty intense.

The duel in GBU is a good shout, but ive always thought the one in 'For a Few Dollars more' was slightly better. With the watch chimes winding down, Clint appears with the second watch and the advantage swings away from Indio. Always find myself holding my breath waiting for the chimes to stop.

Majority of the movie High Tension lives up to it's title. The movie does have it's problems but the first half is very intense. I also thought the elevator scene with the old man in The Eye was pretty good.

I thought the Scene in 'The Birds' where she is sat outside the school and happens upon a crow flying above and as she follows it flight and it lands behind her on the climbing frame covered in...BIRDS!!

The ending of Seven

Loads of scens from Ichi The Killer

The Rape from I spit and Irreversible (also fire ext. scene)

I thought Alien was quite intense.

The scene in TCM where the grandpa is trying to hit her on the head with the hammer.

The Exorcist - V.Intense

The Eye - The scene where she is in a classroom ( I think?) and she's writing and happens to look up to the ghost that screams and points etc

Ringu

I found scenes in the original Amityville and the Entity to be intense...

Funny Games and certain scenes from A Clockwork Orange

Cannibal Holocaust (the turtle scene - I found v. hard to watch)

Cannibal ferox

I can't think of any more currently but am sure there's loads.

The only part of high tension that was intense was near the end, most of it was just... whatever.

Thanks, you big oaf.

:(

huh? well it was.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...Scream intense, High Tension whatever. I'm living in a cuckoo clock. How bout Bill Mosley with his gun to a cops head for what seems like an eternity in House of 1000 corpses.

The final seen in Audition was great especiall when she starts removing the feet.:D

I also agree with the claigraphy scene in the eye, hiding the ghost directly in the shot was brilliant.

not intense
