Well, aural is probably best, though having a character look away right before a blow lands can be pretty devastating itself.



The scene in Dead Man's Chest where Davy Jones forces Bootstrap Bill to flog his son is a good example. We never actually see the lash hit Will; we see Bootstrap swing, Will's face the first time it hits, and the rest of the scene is focused on Jones' face while you here the crack; the fact even he looks disgusted by this is part of the point.

Although the game itself sucked, this is a good example:

In fact, Resident Evil really likes these:
