wouldn't that be stating the obvious?... or did you consider the movie a comedy? Why would you consider it a comedy?

The guy's being a dick. Nothing wrong with verifying what he was saying since it was apparently too hard for him to fully articulate it.
shareThe guy is a dick, and horror is one of the most amazing, imaginative, thrilling genres around. Asking a rhetorical question like that is patronizing and condescending.
There are also some amazing documentaries that chronicle the history of the horror genre and delve into the psychology and reasons why people love it.
Nothing to see here any more, move along people.
Do you have recommendations on documentaries that cover the horror genre that are good? I'd be interested in watching those.
sharei assumed he meant horror anthology but wasnt sure if he meant satanic horror - was actually surprised he just meant horror. To me it comes off as someone not looking to discuss but bash different peoples' tastes.
shareThat is exactly what it was. THere's tons of sub-genres of horror, and I'm guessing that he can't articulate any of them.
shareyou could be talking about horror anthologies
or supernatural horror
or psychological horror
don't try to be witty.
ok, ok, fine, fine!... i didnt realise it was also listed under sci-fy and thriller although i failed to see where the thriller or sci-fy is...
I meant the 'horror" genre. It;s perplexing enough people watch this gunk, some people read it....

close physical killing violence, like the hospital surgery scene and the mother then daughter killing scenes, I skipped them altoghter... i guess my aversion comes from seeing too much as a kid, as an adult my brother's killing and the world in general...
so to rephrase...
why do people like fictional bloody, gory, horrific, upclose death presented as personally as possible...
Why not? Why would I rather watch something more boring and no gore kind of movie. No action and slow boring build up movies that end up failing flat at the end. I rather see this movie over those build up ones or even found footage crap. I think you rather see the movie Silent Retreat 2016.
Now that is one of the dumbest movies but I think you will like it. Seems like you like the lame and tame kind of movies over this one. I don't get why people hate horror genre.
I am a gore watching freak!!!
If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.
nahhh, never said I hated it, just distressing and distasteful, but you already answered that
shareI am a huge horror fan. I really like the supernatural and I love stories. Im not supersitious at all so its interesting to see different takes on ghost,aliens, the occult and anything that would seem "terrifying", things that i cant really see happening in reality.
I do see where you are coming from where there are alot of people who just like gore. Im not so much into psychological horror or horror where people are tortured as it could happen in real life, although i do still watch sometimes mainly for the acting, dialog, story ect.
But some people are just into that type of stuff. I dont mind it when its all meshed together like this film. This was actually a really good all in one horror.
I read this in a chola accent.share

Some people are drawn to very dark subjects, some people are turned on by blood, some people like to be afraid or disgusted, some people are drawn to the very thing they fear most, death. In some ways it may even be to lessen how afraid they are of the reality of it. Each person may have a different reason, but obviously many people are drawn to the genre, and up close and personal bloody gory death.
shareIt's not obvious since only an idiot would question how anyone could like horror. I believe we all thought you were being more specific than horror in general. Like a subgenre of horror, duh.
Tolerance Is Intolerant Of Politically Incorrect Thought...🇺🇸
Oddly enough I just watched this with a friend online who asked me why I showed it to her when I know she doesn't like comedies. She wondered why I said it was scary. So it all depends on how you look at it!
