And some in Hollywood feel that it's just a movie.

I have a complete aversion to horror movies for the main reason that you can never un-see things. I have avoided the Saw movie series totally.

I seriously don't get the draw of horror movies. I can't even get through the previews for them. Not my kind of adrenaline rush.

There are different kinds of horror movies. Slasher movies that are only looking for excuses to show blood and gore don't do it for me. Scary movies, on the other hand, do. Often "scary" has nothing to do with blood, but everything to do with creepy suspense. Either way, I like terrifying movies.

I think that is what I meant to say. I don't get the draw of slasher, torture, cruel movies with lots of blood and guts. I can handle some suspense, but I think I'm a wimp compared to most. Polergeist was one of the first scary movies I saw. I was terrified of my closet for months after seeing it.

I love scary movies, and I can appreciate a good slasher movie. Saw was pretty good, although Saw II was preachy and predictable. As a result, I never bothered with 3-5. Mrs. Donut hates any movies which are even remotely scary, so she makes me watch them when she's out of town.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why they can't rate some of these movies NC-17. I saw a few bits of one of the Hostel movies when I had my three free months of HBO/Showtime when I signed up for DirecTV and I checked it out briefly just out of curiousity, and it was just horrible.

I don't understand how lots of nudity (Showgirls) gets an NC-17 rating and something like these torture porn movies which are far more damaging like to, say, 14 and 15 year old kids gets an R. I'm not saying that the rating will prevent these kinds of kids from seeing them, but an NC-17 rating sure makes these movies a lot less commercially viable and measures would be taken by the filmmakers to tone down the sadism and torture. The threat of an NC-17 rating forces filmmakers to tone down gratutitous nudity already- I just wish they used it more to tone down violence.
