No deviants saidOh I've seen it lol I loved it too!
I love horror and frightening, scary stuff, but I don't think most horror films do a very good job of it, personally. Of couse I continue to watch them in hopes that I find a really good one, it's not like I avoid horror films or anything, I just haven't found many I liked . I'd watch it if I had netflix for sure though ~
That's why I mostly watch the older horror films, because the new ones are "bleh" to me. But the documentary makes a point that it's harder to shock people, which is one of the reasons horror has become more gore than story. It's a sad truth really.
Sad indeed I'd take a genuinely creepy story with lousy special effects over one of those high-teck, gore-packed, newer things any day. Case in point, I'd MUCH rather sit down and have an Alien marathon than a Saw one Actually, I'd even rather watch Taken and call it a horror than watch Saw..... its a friggen action movie and I think it fits the genre better. IDK, maybe that's just me Alot of my friends seem to think I'm afraid of the saw movies because I refuse to watch them, but it's not that I'm "afraid", they aren't "scary" they're just gross.
Ok, totally off subject, but I found a couple of things on Youtube that disturbed me at least as much as that clip you posted of the guy going nuts where all the stuff in the cabin was laughing with him, and I think you just have to see these: [link][link]
the cool thing about the saw movies is jigsaw himself. im not much one for the saw films either, i saw 1, 2, and i think 4 or 5. and its just too repetitive. trying to make the audience cringe and get confused more-so than focus on the actual story.
But I do love Jigsaw's reasoning. That alone is what makes them worth the watch. Otherthan that, its just another gorefest, which at times could be entertaining, but to each their own
i've seen that clay animated thing xD i would have loved that as a kidd xD
Yeah, I had a friend tell me about Jigsaw and I'll admit that it was interesting and I have considered watching the first one but Gore just grosses me out. It's not like I'll get nightmares or anything, but I just don't like watching it.
OMG, I would have loved that claymation thing when I was younger too, but now it just creeps me out XD Have you seen that music video thing? OMG, the thing itself doesnt creep me out, and it isn't even nessisaraly the fact that it falls apart that gets me either, it's the atmosphere of it, like, the way they don't really react to it
