I like horror movies. Sure, I jump and squeal, hide my eyes, won't watch them alone, and follow my gf around like a puppy afterwards if we watch one at night 'cause I don't want to be on a level of the house by myself...but they're good fun.
Overdone gore is one thing, but I don't tolerate realistic violence very well. Execution-style killing, realistic torture, reenactments of grisly deaths that actually happened, etc. I haven't watched a graphic war movie since Legends of the Fall about 15 years ago. Almost passed out during the electric chair scene in Green Mile. Couldn't watch the death scene in Braveheart. My partner is really good about warning me and giving me time to leave the room if we're watching a movie that she knows has a scene like this.
The lesson I got from it is to never put my teeth on the curb - I'd rather take being beat or stabbed to death.
That is the better of the two choices. I suffered through it for some reason, and even as the "flesh" was being torn away I realized it was just make up and special effects, I felt compelled to keep watching for some reason - probably because so many people, especially in my city, simply thought it was such an amazing retelling of the Passion. After watching it I actually broke down when I got in the car, that is the second time my ex W had ever seen me cry, and it wasn't because I was moved, it was simply traumatizing, also unsettled that so many could think that is what it was really like - as if Jesus had superhuman strength (no, he was just a man, at one with God and holy spirit if you subscribe to Christianity, but still just a man, that is the whole point of Grace).
The only other time I wanted to get out of a theater in a movie was in Pulp Fiction when the gun accidentally discharges and the kid's brain is splattered all over the rear window. I can handle gore and violence, I can even sometimes handle violence + humor, but what disturbed me was the genuine laughter of others in the theater at that scene.
I have seen the play Jesus Christ Superstar (original movie cast) 3 times. It's great live with the orchestra and the lighting. I cried all three times at the end. I know how it ends. But I always wish that the end could change and he wouldn't have to die.
That scene in Pulp Fiction is incredible because it happens so fast, there is NO WAY you see that coming.
Yeah, I saw 28 weeks later. I cringed at that scene as well. But I wasn't impressed with the sequel because they made the "main" zombie guy like super zombie, that was hard to kill. And it irritated me how the virus got started back up, like for real? Are you kidding me? I wanted to punch the kids, the dad (super zombie-man) and all the stupid people.
I was pissed at the kids too. We go in there and save their asses, clean up their mess and two brats screw everything up. And superman zombie was a p*ssy for running away from his family like that in the beginning.
If its true horror and grit you are after, the two hands down best gruesome movies are The Human Centepede and The Human Centepede 2. Tons of death, but the torture is just as gritty. Also another one is irreversible, in a underground gay sex club this guy bashes the guy who sodomised his fiance in the face with a fire extinguisher. I would have to proclaim myself the gore queen lol. Posted via Mobile Device
When I heard what the Human Centepede was about, I refused to see it. I didn't even watch the South Park remake on TV about it. The thought of doing that to people is so incredibly disturbing, ESPECIALLY FOR THE DUDE IN THE MIDDLE! I really don't think I could watch it. And I am supposed to be all evil and tough!
Did you see Midnight Meat Train? The violence and gore in that movie are wonderful! That movie is all gore, no story really. But if you want blood and guts, that is a good place to start.

I've seen about 30 seconds of the Human Centipede totally by accident. I walked in to the room when it was on and saw the 'front' of the centipede being fed
as soon as I twigged what was about to happen next I literally ran

I used to be JUST LIKE YOU when it came to more realistic gore and torture. Once upon a time, I had to leave the room during the "cutting off the ear" scene in Reservoir Dogs. I refused to watch Hostel, and I stayed away from all Vietnam movies.
Somewhere along the line I got over it and love watching all those movies now. I think the Saw movies broke me of my fear of watching realistic violence. However, I won't watch the end of Braveheart because I don't want him to die. I hate the ending of that movie. I want all movies to have happy endings dammit!

I can't believe they've made a sequel!!!
I am cracking up out load imagining you actually RUNNING away from the TV in your own home. I have done that too. It's like I must run cause the TV is gonna chase me! Hilarious!
I could have just turned it off but I wanted to get out of there LOL
I am imagining you like in Scooby Doo, when they got scared and would run, but first their feet would speed up in one place and you hear a whooshing sound of them taking off.
