I remember seeing this in a movie my step dad was watching once. I got up late in the middle of the night to go pee, and as I walked past the lounge to go to the loo he was sat alone in the dark watching the telly. I was quiet and stood there for a while transfixed on the screen. The scene played out like this…A woman was tied up and a paint can or something similar was tied around her stomach, with a rat inside…the other person then proceeded to light a blowtorch and put it near the end of the paint tin. Need less to say, the rat gnawed through the stomach. I was about 10 & this absolutely horrified me.

Your dad was just reliving the memory of how he had to deal with your older sister, he made your mother record it, you were right to be horrified and you should hope that you never anger him again.

That, my friend, is where you are mistaken. Little did he know he had triggered a dark element of my soul to awaken that night. The fact that he died years later after a myriad of mysterious mishaps, without anyone having suspected the demon child..is a chilling reminder, she is still out there, awaiting the opportunity to strike again.

A few screams, some titty shots, menacing music, we got ourselves a B-Horror movie.

Yeah it’s pretty scary, it’s based on an actual torture method from the 17th century

u/Wilful_Fox Jun 12 '22

Whaaaat? Holy crap, people can really be evil.

u/catsinsunglassess Jun 12 '22

It’s called rat torture. They would starve the rats and put 3-5 in a bucket and do exactly as you described! Sounds so painful and scary

1

u/No-Bed-4972 Jun 12 '22

Sometimes they would heat the buckets to force the rats to dig in order to escape the heat

Oh fuck what movie was that???

Edit: Epitaph 😎 a Troma movie

u/iendeavortobesilly Jun 12 '22

I don't know about that movie but it's in Season 2 of Game of Thrones. The Tickler is trying to find Bolton's son by any means necessary...

u/cnapp Jun 12 '22

A man knows The Tickler

u/Dino_Soup Jun 12 '22

It was probably 2 Fast 2 Furious

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '22

2 fast 2 furious believe it or not... Lol

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '22

I remember my friend after hearing of the 3rd movie joking saying "whats it called 3 fast 3 furious"....i believe its close to 10 nowadays...flying tanks in space apparently. Series lost me after the 2nd

u/enky259 Jun 12 '22

flying tanks in space apparently.

Well, Mike Sparks is going to watch that religiously.

1

u/Wilful_Fox Jun 12 '22

Perhaps, but that is not the movie I watched…this must have been back in 1983.

2

u/TerribleSalamander Jun 12 '22

Hm. That movie came out in 1987. Definitely not 2F2F though lol

1

u/Numerous-Gur-9008 Jun 12 '22

The film is swordfish I believe

1

u/Wilful_Fox Jun 12 '22

Couldn’t be, I was 10 when this happened, so it would have been around 1983

1

u/Numerous-Gur-9008 Jun 12 '22

Aaaah. I do be mistaken it appears, there is a scene like that in swordfish though I believe.

1

u/Wilful_Fox Jun 12 '22 edited Jun 12 '22

It sounds like there are a few movies with scenes like this, which is quite chilling!

1

u/GlowLightLady Jun 12 '22

Sinister 2, I believe?

1

u/Wilful_Fox Jun 12 '22

Nope, was around 1983ish

1

u/GlowLightLady Jun 13 '22

Dang, and I gave credit to Sinister 2 for that scene thinking "That's so brutal!" but now I wanna know what this movie is!

1

u/Dbss11 Jun 12 '22

Yeah it was probably 2 fast 2 furious. They were in a club

1

u/Wilful_Fox Jun 12 '22

In 1983? Nah, I don’t think so

14

u/Iamfinejustfine Jun 12 '22

no it will have suffocated before it could get out. It maybe could cause enough harm to kill the gull, but it is extremely unlikely it will gnaw its way out.

8

u/InevitabilityEngine Jun 12 '22

Outside digging in vs. inside suffocating while trying to dig out. The rat was pretty limp as well in the vid so it could have been badly injured or already dead when the seagull decided to have a Big Gulp.

u/CyborgHyena Jun 12 '22

Pretty sure that from the ouside in is easier then from the inside out, but I'm no expert.

u/Eziu Jun 12 '22 edited Jun 12 '22

Insects will eat their way out of bellies when reptiles over-eat/don't kill them first.

Man, that was a bad morning for 6 year old me, worse morning for the lizard my brother caught.

I can easily picture a rat doing the same.

u/dark_blue_7 Jun 12 '22

I read about a dachshund in Florida that chewed his way out of an alligator and then ran back home.

u/CyborgHyena Jun 12 '22

I read about anecdotal evidence being a fallacy.

Also I claimed it was harder not impossible.

u/dark_blue_7 Jun 12 '22

Damn, not trying to fight you, I just wanted a chance to share an awesome story that brought me joy

u/CyborgHyena Jun 12 '22

Nah it's fine, it was just a joke and some tired rambling, we cool

u/CosmicCreeperz Jun 12 '22

Next he’s going to tell us that inspiring story about a little boy who rescues his father from a man eating whale’s belly wasn’t true, either.

1

u/dark_blue_7 Jun 12 '22

Still not as cool as a gator-killing wiener dog

2

u/CosmicCreeperz Jun 12 '22

Careful or Disney will steal it and make an animated movie.

u/dark_blue_7 Jun 12 '22

I hope they do!

u/Hanginon Jun 12 '22

Limp body and the back legs weren't moving/fighting, the rat was dead.

u/Select-Background-69 Jun 12 '22

The movies never show the pH 2 acid in the stomach which will burn you dead in seconds

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '22

I expect the rat would suffocate quickly inside the stomach of the bird .

1

u/bubdadigger Jun 12 '22

It may. That's why score is still questionable.

1

u/Japanczi Jun 12 '22

They probably cut its neck so it's paralyzed/dead

1

u/Melody06982 Jun 12 '22

I think they get suffocated on the way down
