Gore does not always equate with grossness; that is for certain. Especially when the gore is overdone.

Somebody mentioned Saving Private Ryan; I tend to agree, but not because of the knife scene. I was much more disturbed by the soldier who got shot, and Tom Hanks' character asks him how they can help him, and he just says "Give me more Morphine", and then when he's fixing to die, he keeps calling out for his mother. Very disturbing. I can't even watch it again.

Also worth mentioning is The Girl Next Door (no, not that dumb teen comedy). It's loosely based on a true story. Two sisters go to live with their aunt, because their parents have died and they are basically orphans. As it turns out, the aunt is horribly abusive. Basically, there is little or no gore, but this sick movie doesn't need it. It's what they don't show, what is left to the imagination, that makes it so disturbing. There is torture involved (The aunt burns off the older girls' clitoris with one of those little mini blowtorches), and there is also rape (The aunt allows one of her sons to rape the girl while she is tied to the bed). All in all, it is very sick, and I had a bad feeling for days after I watched it.
