(I've put this in Psychology because I'm interested in understanding that part of the psyche that takes interest in these ideas and images.)
And before you say 'It's not real get over it'. I know that so please don't patronize with your answers.
You either love them or hate them. I personally really don't see the point of them, and it disturbs me that people would 'enjoy' watching the torture and gore that these films capture.
I take no pleasure in the watching of them and sometimes wonder if the producers could have been potential mass murderers provided they didn't have the means to create these flicks. (Example: Hostel)
I suppose it puts me in mind of the Romans and their love of the 'games'.
I really don't get it.
Anyone care to explain where the entertainment value lies in a horror film? Particularly 'the gorier the better' type?
