Does excessive gore bother you?

I once accidentally sliced my wrists as a kid. Was rummaging through a drawer and somehow, a sharp blade cut through my wrist (more like poked through it). I didn't feel anything at first but as I started to lose blood, my vision got blurry, my legs felt weak. I laid down on my bed, called out to my mother and passed out.

It was a strange, weird feeling. Any time I watch a movie where there is a wrist-slicing scene, I feel this strange chill run down my body. Instant flashback to that incident and I get transported back to that moment.

I have no fucking idea how all these emo kids trip on wrist-cutting. It is NOT a pleasant feeling. /shrug

Anything to do with wrists, needles and eyeballs creeps me out. Which reminds me, there was once this freak accident in school. Some kids were roughhousing and somehow, one of the kids ended up with a fucking bone poking through his skin (wrist). That was one of the most creepy things I ever saw. I can handle most Faces of Death and Rotten.com stuff. Pound a guy's skull in and I will just go, "Aargh fuck this shit." But I see that girl in 'Thirteen' slice her wrists and I have to look away.

well it depends. i recently saw "The Silence of The Lambs" and boy was that movie horrible. It was really hard to keep on watching it. It was worth it though. Awesome movie.

I didnt get anything from watching silence of the lambs I dont get why its so hyped, ok its a good movie and Anthony Hopkins does an awesome role, but thats it

Are you guys kidding? That movie has phenomenal acting, holy shit. Probably him and Anton Chigurh are the two scariest killers of film history.

Snoozefest! Acting is all fine and dandy, but the entertainment value is nonexistant, IMO.

Some of the scenes in that movie are so well done its hard to think its a movie.
Yes, there are no flying bullets, or massive gore scenes, but the roles the actors portray is excellent.

The second movie was awful and undeserving of the original.
The last one though was actually pretty good.



What did you think of shawshank redemption ?
Was that a snoozefest too ?

Totally different movie. Silence of the Lambs was supposed to be a Horror/Suspense/Thriller and it Fails on all accounts, at least with me. Others think so, I suppose I will just accept it and move on, but for me if I never see it again I will have saved myself some time(couldn't think of a better way to express how little I care for SotL ).

I like movies of every variety, I just don't like every Movie.

even if there was no immense amount of gore, the parts where they show buffalo bill...say what you will, you cannot deny that the actors were wonderful in the movie. and you don't like it, that's fine. on the other hand, it is one of the few movies that has ever won all 5 major oscars.

I was fine with the first two Saw movies, but the third one was just too much, I turned it off.

Most things do not bother me anymore, but certain actions will make me squirm a little, for example the slicing of the achilles tendon in Hostel. That kind of crap makes my stomach turn a little bit.

As for the Saw movies, I thought the first one was great and relatively innovative. The 2nd movie was absolute garbage and I've not seen any after that. I didn't even know they had made a 4th...good grief.

I don't care to see it all the time, probably why I haven't' watched the Saw movies - I just don't' give a sh!t about that kind of stuff.

I usually enjoy cheezy gore filled horror b movies. But I don't really care for movies that seem to have no point other than to be shocking and filled with gore can be disturbing.

I thought the Saw movies were very highly overrated. I watched them and actually liked them, but not to the same extent that I would enjoy most other horror flicks. They were not scary or funny.

There were a couple of scenes in Audition that I looked away from when I saw it the first time because it was so repulsive. I still consider it to be a very good movie though overall, since it's got an interesting plot and lots of character development.

There is a movie called "Flower of Flesh and Blood" that I just couldn't watch though. It was disgusting and very disturbing. I found no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Excessive gore cheapens a movie. There are more intelligent ways in story telling to shock an audience than relying on autopsy room tactics.

But that's not to say I don't enjoy a good gory flick every now and again.
