What embarrasses me is that I really want to watch these films so that I can enter the discussion around the horror genre more broadly - Exploitation is a huge blind spot in my viewership which bums me out when I want to participate in discussions on this board. But it's just too icky for me.  |
I was like that for a short period of time...I wouldn't watch anything with rape or torture in it. Then I realized.....how is that I can watch people being ate, killed, mutilated but not the other stuff??!! I guess it didn't make sense to me?? I told myself, it's just a movie and it will all blend in together. So, now there isn't anything (so far) that I have passed over because of its content. I think its natural for most of us to be curious about different things, particularly "dark" things. It's kind of like a forbidden fruit. I think it's safe to say that some of us are more in touch with are "darker" side than others, thus our desire for horror. I live for horror movies
