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
is it normal to like horror films with graphic violence and gore?

That's not actually the reason why
Have you ever watched Eraser head?

It is strange, but I like the whole creepy surreal atmosphere it has.
