I’ve had those moments a few times where I’m considering to stop watching because it’s just so over the top. I didn’t do it with Terrifier but I was almost about to because it was just too over the top and it crosses so many red lines for me that I’ve at least decided to not watch the new movies in the series.
Martyrs where a movie I took a break in between just to get a pause of what was going on. It was so intense.
Have you ever had a horror movie you just couldn’t watch trough or maybe had to take breaks before being able to watch it till the end?
Pretty much any of the torture-porn “horror”. It’s never fun, it’s not scary.
In specific, Saw. Watched a little bit of it, realized what it was doing and just stopped it. The whole vibe is a bunch of edgelord shitheads coming up with the “sickest shit” they can manage, and failing to come up with anything worth filming, much less cobbling together a half-assed plot around.
But it isn’t because it was actually sick. It’s the fact that pretty much nothing like that is worth watching. It’s just fx to gross people out. I’ve seen too much real gore over the years to think of that as remotely interesting. Once you’ve seen someone’s bones in a gaping bed sore, shit like that is just boring.
Same here. Saw 1 was a masterpiece because it was more a thriller like Sev7n, but I quit Saw 2 right after the syringe pit…constant violence without any fun is not something I enjoy.
