    You really think that genre of entertainment is only sustained by your purchasing of the products with that genre?...

    I used to but now my favorite horror films are more about suggestion like berbarian sound studio, a field in England or let the right one in, although, everyone calls ltroi a horror, I feel it's More a twisted yet almost innocent love story set around horror elements
    Although sometimes a night in with some mates, alcohol and a gory horror can hit the spot.

    There's a part of everybody that is attracted to gore and violence, but by watching horror movies you are teaching yourself to enjoy watching others suffer.

      Not the case forks all horror films, martyrs isn't a film that's made to be enjoyed.

        I was talking about gratuitously violent films. When there's a valid reason for showing gore then I have no problem with it, but showing someone in agony for entertainment purposes just seems wrong.

          Ah, sorry I got the wrong end of the stick I thought you meant any gore
          I agree.
          I feel it's all down to intent. I think two films could show, for example a torture scene, they could show the same thing happening in the same detail, but if one is for a reason then okay, ( within reason, a Serbian film took it too far) but one is just saying hey, look at this person getting tortured then I agree with you. Films like grotesque or the August underground films are just plain wrong.

            Maybe I only feel this way because I've had to sit through them.
            I had a friend who was into that kind of stuff and always brought them round.I tried to show him eternal sunshine of a spotless mind to show him that not all films have to be Gore-soaked, he fake slept the whole way through it...........we don't speak now

        Or eraserhead, or Jacobs ladder, or berbarian sound studio.
        Although there are splatter films which are about what you mentioned There are also horror films that are meant to shake you, leave you feeling affected and leave something that stays with you, there are some horrors that are making important philosophical inquiries into relevant issues in society, but, as you say some are not.

            Great film and your right, it's got a cult following but it deserves to be a classic, it even inspired the creators of silent hill.
            Even the cult following its got isn't as big as it should be,

              I saw an article saying that it was considered for a remake but I really don't think they need to as it still stands up today just as well as it did back then.
