I agree, zwoti. We DO need SOMETHING ... but I personally don't want to be shown everything. As I said, once I have seen it, I can deal with it and move on. It won't stick in my mind (like a horror film should). And there is nothing wrong with some blood and gore in a horror film -- don't get me wrong. I like to slum every once in a while, myself. A good gross-out can be pretty effective. My critique was really aimed at those people who think a horror movie sucks if it isn't gory. These people don't care about the finer elements of horror ... they just want the eye candy. Don't want to have to think about anything or use their imaginations. Which is why I never really got into any slasher flicks at all. Sorry if I offended you. :) (<---- making friends grin)
