Septic Man – First Scene
While the entirety of Septic Man could make any year’s list of disturbing moments, as it’s loaded with an endless barrage of bodily fluids, the very first scene where a sleepy town’s disgusting infection is introduced might be the most vile, repugnant, and nauseating collection of images ever put to screen.
The film itself takes place in a gigantic septic tank, where actor Jason David Brown finds himself drenched in a mixture of human waste and other unmentionable horrors, yet nothing tops what actress Nicole G. Leier must endure in the film’s opening minutes. At least writer Tony Burgess and director Jesse Thomas Cook set expectations early. This way, weaker stomachs only have to waste a few minutes of their time.
The specific scene in question captures every possible symptom of a bacterial outbreak, expelling fluids from Leier with the force of a damn firehose. Taking place only her bathroom, she moves from toilet to bathtub in an attempt to try and relieve herself, but every inch of the tile room is covered – sweet Mother of Mary, I need to stop describing the scene because I’m feeling queasy already.
This is it – the granddaddy of gross-outs. Just believe what I say, or dare to give the scene a watch yourself.
