NOT SAFE FOR WORK: Severed Arms and Legs of Horror Cinema: An Off of Body Experience

Take a Bite Out of Science: If ever there was a guilty pleasure piece, it’s Deep Blue Sea. The picture had so many things going against it, it’s insane: The concept itself was preposterous, the dialogue was flat out embarrassing, LL Cool J played a religious fanatic and even the seasoned performers of the picture phoned in their performances. And yet, it’s so damned entertaining. Especially thanks to shots of Samuel L. Jackson being devoured whole by an acrobatic shark, or poor Jim Whitlock, who gets his arm bitten right off. There’s something just… stupendous about that ragged, bloody stump. You go, shark.
Ash, The One Armed Man: Seriously, I’m not even going to speak on this one. If you’re not familiar with this scene from Evil Dead 2, either something is wrong with your selection of films, your general taste in cinema sucks or you drank too much damn liquor before checking ED2 out!
