It seems like every 3rd movie released these days is some completely pointless shock horror movie which only aspires to be more graphic than the one released a week prior.
I would like to point out that I don't necessarily mind violence in movies. I think that there is a place for it in storytelling, but there is not a reason to dwell upon it. The current batch of movies (IMO) go to far. The entire Saw series is just a chain of sadistic events held loosely together by a plot that my 14 year old brother (who isn't even good at writing) could've matched easily in only 30 minutes of effort. Other movies briefly touch on the cliche' age old demon, abused-as-a-child psycopath, or some other lame concoction dreamt up by a second-year movie college student who thinks he's creative.
People are always willing to point a finger at video games for inspiring violence, what can be said about a movie that is essentially 2 hours of horrifically gory torture of innocent people?
I don't know, I'm just tired of seeing 5 movie previews and 3 of them are for upcoming silly blood-fests, and wanted to know what the rest of you thought.
