Generally speaking, as I get older, I find I have less of a taste for really bloodthirsty, graphic horror. For various reasons, I agree with Stephen King's statement that horror is a thing for "the young"...
If it is gory and I own it or watch it, this is usually because it is allegorical or cartoonish...
But I like a LOT of bad films and weird films also, and some of those are gory, but I enjoy a certain weird cheese factor here. Like there is this movie I just love love love, a sunken treasure hunt movie called "Evil In The Deep" which has some really nice moments of shocking 70's violence, but I'm not getting off on the violence itself, I notice, as much as on the film's shameless whoring of the violence. (It also has Rosey Grier and Cheryl Ladd and Stephen Boyd, so what's not to like?)
