I know the feeling. I started watching 'Eastern Promises' a few months ago on DVD, but I had to turn it off and return it to Blockbuster after the 'corpse desecration' scene began. One thing I've noticed is that while a lot of Film Noir did have violent themes, it was usually more implied than explicit. In other words, it usually happened off-camera, rather than in your face splattering ketchup all over the camera. I'm not sure if that would work for you or not...
