My examples aren't really going to sound very extreme, but they just get to me for some reason. I guess maybe something about women dying in particular strikes a chord with me?
In the newer version of Dawn of the Dead - the zombies eating people never caused me to bat an eye, but near the end when they're all in the armored bus thing, and that woman gets hit in the side with the chainsaw... I think maybe it's because it was an accident, on top of the horrible zombie situation, that bothers me.
In The Departed - near the beginning, Jack Nicholson's character is shown executing two people on a beach, a man and a woman. They're tied up and gagged, and he just blasts them each in the back of the head. I imagine it like this - that guy was probably a mobster, and probably had it coming, but the woman was probably just his innocent girlfriend or wife, and had the bad luck of witnessing something or being there when they abducted him.
Oh, and a bunch of stuff in The Mist - the dude getting all burned up, the army dude getting torn apart by the religious zealots, the incredibly depressing ending... a good movie, but messed up.
