Real life is probably more horrific if you live in areas with extreme violence.
Yes. Art imitates life, not vice versa, and the horrors mankind inflicts on one another are far more horrific than any hollywood movie ive ever seen could demonstrate.
The worst real things ive ever seen that still haunt me to this day, in no particular order but described in the vivid detail i remember:
- “faceless”
Video starts and there is a young man maybe late teens laying on a floor. His face has been skinned off and his eyeballs removed. He is still very alive. Both his hands have been cut off and he has a wire restraining his upper arms along the side of his body. He keeps trying in vain to protect his missing face but because his hands are missing he can only get within a few inches below his chin. At this point the torturers use the end of a broomstick shoved into his mouth and pressed against the back of his throat to hold his head in place while another guy slits his throat. As they are cutting his throat he seems surprised and attempts to scream stop or no, but he seems himself conflicted about it almost as if you can tell he realizes there is no point living now with no face or eyes. After only puncturing a hole in his trachea and slightly cutting the inside borders of his carotid arteries they leave him to writhe in agony as he slowly drowns in his own blood. He continues to be alive coughing blood until the video ends.
- “chainsaw beheading”
This is a rather popular video some of you may have seen. Two men, supposedly an uncle and his nephew, are sitting propped up against a stone wall. Both men look defeated and resigned to their fate. A chainsaw enters the frame and the uncle, knowing his demise, raises his chin up so the chainsaw can get to his throat easily. As soon as the chainsaw hits his throat it bucks out, leaving an instant gash in his throat. For one second theres no blood, then his heart beats and blood gushes down his chest. The chainsaw comes back towards him and the man raises his chin back up. This time the chainsaw bites as he grimaces in agony, it only takes a few seconds to reach his spinal column at which point his eyeballs shoot out of his head and disappear out of frame, one of them almost striking the camera lens filming. The entire time this is happening the blood is whipping off the end of the chainsaw onto his nephews face. At this point his head is hanging by a thread and the chainsawer goes back in to sever the remaining threads of flesh, in the process of doing so he cuts into the shoulder of the nephew who barely flinches. The chainsaw turns off and the nephew turns to look at his decapitated uncle and the gash in his shoulder. A second executioner enters frame and uses a dull knife to try and decapitate the nephew, at first the kife fails to cut in perhaps the nephews tensing his neck muscles too hard but after a few seconds of brute force his trachea is cut into. The executioner then leaves him on the ground to gasp for air and choke on his blood for a few as if to draw out as much agony as possible before proceeding to continue decapiting the guy but struggling to get the knife through his spine.
- “black and blue”
A man, supposedly the brother of a female mexican prosecutor who is prosecuting a drug cartel, is abducted. He lays on a floor of what seems to be an abandoned building. He has been gagged and restrained by duct tape. Frayed electrical wires are taped inbetween his toes and apparently being controlled by a switch out of frame. Every few seconds he convulses violently from electrocution. A man enters the frame with a baseball bat and unloads a hail of body blows to every part of this guys body except his neck and head. The electricution pulses continue this entire time, causing his muscles and organs to contract around the broken bone fragments probably cutting him apart from the inside. No blood is ever visible but the intensity of the baseball bat hits is incredibly high, its an utterly vicious series of dizens if not hundreds of blows all over his body. When the first attacker gets tired a second enters and continues. The man writhes around most the time attempting to scream but its muffled by the gag. At one point he goes motionless as if he gives up trying to survive, and is struck a dizen times in the back, all of a sudden its like he remembers a reason to live and reanimates thrashing around desperately trying to plead for his life. The attackers give no fuck and continue to mercilessly pulverize this poor guy as the electrocution bursts continue. The video ends with him still alive but obviously nobody would survive this even if they stopped at that moment. After killing this guy the cartel successfully killed his sister, the prosecuter, like a month later (after having failed before abducting her brother for torture which they sent a video of to her).
Thats just 3 videos that haunt me. I could carry on with descriptions of dozens more ive seen. If you google around you can find the above mentioned videos but i warn you this is ultra real and ultra horrible shit to witness and you will quickly realize how hprrible human beings are. The above mentioned videos are all from mexico, but ive seen terrible things from around the world however the mexicans do love recording their most horrific shit and making it public.
I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre on nflix last night as well, it was softcore compared to the real videos ive seen.
