Based on the answers to my previous question, it seems that way!

No. They aren't even scary. Hitchcock knew how to make scary without being gross. They try every year to get grosser, but when is it going to peak? What's the facination with it anyway? Go be a coroner or work for the Highway Patrol. Then you can get paid to see all that gore.

I'm not a huge fan of gore movies. I'll see them once or twice, mainly with friends. But after that they just kinda lose what little appeal they had in the first place.

I won't venture to say I hate them, because a lot of the time I find the premise of the movies to be really interesting. Saw, for example, kept my eyes on the screen the whole time, because I loved that the movie was a puzzle to figure out. Unfortunately, though, it, and its relatives ('Hostel', etc.) think that 'gore' is another word for 'scary', which it isn't.
I'm afraid that filmmakers have lost the ability to actually make movies scary, so they think if they make movies as bloody and as disgusting as they can, it will make it scary. It doesn't. Remember 'Alien', where, besides the alien popping out of a guy's chest, you never saw anybody die? That was why it was scary! It was so mysterious! There are better examples, of course, like 'Rosemary's Baby'.
The point is that horror movies no longer scare people, they just gross them out. We have little kids who like to eat bugs for something like that.

I don't care much for them, either.
I prefer to actually *watch* a movie rather than cower behind my hands (or my husband) for the majority of it.
A little gore is okay, and if it helps the plot along or something it's all well and good, but if it's all gross-out stuff like Saw or Jackass (grown men acting like immature irresponsible freaks? I don't think so...), it's just not my bag of chips...

I don't like them either. There is no use for garbage like that. What possible good can come from seeing all the gore and killing in movies like this? It's amazing and frightening what some people consider to be entertainment.

No, I, too, do not like "gore" movies. There is enough violence in the world as it is. I want to see something that pulls at my heart strings or can make me laugh.

No, I am sure you are not. I really like the horror genre, but gore has taken over too much of this area of film making. If it has a place central to the theme or plot o.k., but much of it is far too gratuitous.

I've always like a good scary movie, but not necessarily gory movies. I'd much prefer that they be creepy (a la The Shining) and not so blood/brain spattered.

No, I sure don't. Watching someone being tortured is not my idea of entertainment, but there a lot of sick people in the world. Give me a good old comedy or love story any day!
