Often though, the horror film is a scapegoat for 'bad' - cue irritated questions of "What do you want to watch all that violence/gore/crap for?", and "You sick twisted fuck".

Some folk will decide you must have something wrong with you to want to see all that.

It would perhaps be nice to prove them right and murder them from time to time, influenced by violent movies.


:D

i'll be the first to say i have limitations .. i dont find the ultra extreme 'pseudo-realistic' sadistic crazy shit to my liking.
I understand people checking them out - out of curiosity.. but i think that an obsession with them .. like anything .. is questionable and unhealthy as far as my way of thinking goes.

but again .. its something i'd discuss .. not something i'd push my opinion on ..

and if it really bothered me i'd just avoid the person.

for me .. i still say that when i watch a movie i want to be entertained ... the hard core stuff isnt my kind of entertainment ..

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And everyones taste in movies is different. There are movies out there that believe it or not, I just cannot stomach because of bad camera work, acting or whatever.

Dissing a paticular person all together because of their taste in movies is something in a complete field of it's on.

If someone says I suck because I enjoy watching movies such as "Carnival Of Souls" or "Night Of The Demon", they can forget ever talking to me again because dissing me on that level is just dumb.

Yes, like anything watching the same extreme violence over and over would not be healthy.

It's fun to discover, experience, share, then shelve for a while until needed again - perhaps for reference or creative ideas (or just plain boredom).

But some people seem to think, as soon as you start talking about a violent film, that this is what you are into - sometimes they try to blur the line between a film genre and human desire. That you must be what you choose to watch.

More likely they themselves are unable to draw the distinctions, which is rather worrying - but explains a lot about general society.

you hit the nail on the head ...
and that goes for a lot more than horror films ..
also sex ... politics .. etc ...any major facet of the human condition.

people who are weak minded dont know they are .. and they think everyone else should probably think the way they do.

sadly - they are the majority and they set the bar for the rest of us.

I don't have limitations(Or perhaps I just haven't gotten to it yet.), but I'm not going to watch a movie over and over that I find overly disturbing, 'Irreversible' for example.

Neither have I but I'm not going to watch it over and over. Maybe once or twice within the week or so of purchase but after that it's getting shelved for awhile.
