Can you watch the blood and gore in films?

I can, i love horror movies and i am a huge horror fan. My favorite gore more are Demons & Demons 2 i dont count the exorcist as gore because there isnt really any gore in it jut head spinning & vomiting that doesnt count as gore. :)
 
i can watch blood and gore more than horror films, the music building up for the big jump moment i dont like, i hate not knowin when/where somethin is going to happen.

i maybe male and 21 but i still jump like a 6year old girl when seein a spider!
 
I watched Hostel on DVD last weekend and had to close my eyes a few times as some of it was a bit too much. I'm usually OK as I know the blood is only tomato ketchup!
 
I used to be able to watch some of this stuff when I was younger but not so much now. I think it's the tone of some of these films that might have changed for me.
It seems films want to portray violence as brutally as possible which isn't for me. Films don't hold too much interest for me if it is too sick to watch which is why I'll never watch Irreversible.
 
Am I sick? When I see something particularly gory I quite like it :o

For instance, if I see a good guy pounding a monster then I think to myself "Go on!" and the more guts and blood the better :o

I only jump at silly moments like loud noises/guns going off
 
I think you lost my point.

Some people were saying that they could watch violence in other films but not POTC, I just brought animals into discussion to ask what difference it makes who the violence is against.
 
I would agree with this one...I have no problem watching stuff like that...sometimes I have to rewind if I'm watching a dvd cos I cant believe the way they've done a certain effect.
Those effects folk do a darn good job! :D
 
yes i saw it a couple of weeks ago,me and my daughter went to see it,we were amazed at the number of people who were hiding their faces or leaving...it didnt bother us in the slightest.
it was the same when we went to see 'the hills have eyes' a week before,so many people left the cinema before the film finished and almost everyone else was commenting on how horrible it was afterwarRAB.
i have yet to see a film that shocks me with its gore and violence.
 
Sorry, obviously missed that :)

I find violence against people much easier to take than violence against animals, maybe because I'm so affected by animal cruelty. Plus, I always worry that the violence against animals is not fake, such as in Cannibal Holocaust. I think there's also some nasty scenes in Amos Perres, which is why I won't ever watch either of those films.
 
After the opening scene in Saw 2 about 4 or 5 couples left the cinema. The girlfrienRAB probably decied that they couldn't go on after that. It was a great scene. You could hear the whole cinema gasping and people were covering their eyes.
 
I've tried to watch 'Hostel' a couple of times, but I find it too unbearable. Blood & gore I can stand, but not the premise of some of it.. you're kidnapped, tied up & mutilated by guys wearing abbatoir gear while you're still awake.. then they bring a chainsaw out. Make it stop!!

I used to be a fan of James Patterson's books, but found them tough going in the same way - captors dissecting people while they're still alive & things like that.. maybe it's my imagination running away with me & doing all the work... it's possible that's what causes my squeamishness.

Anyway.. blood, gore, yeah okay - but when there's an intense psychological angle attached to it - I have to look away & block it out.

I know it's all fake - and some of it is utterly convincing - but there's a point for me where I can't just brush it off.
 
i never watched SAW 2...i'll get the dvd at the weekend and give it a watch,although i'll no doubt be dissappointed.

and with reference to the comment about girlfrienRAB in the post above...i know more squeamish blokes than women
