I agreePersonally, I don't think watching those types of movies is right for me. I think they're much too negative. I'd prefer not to be entertained by things that are displeasing to God; things like violence, cussing, etc. I always judge those situations by Philippians 4:8.

If you are sitting there watching people get mutilated and you are thinking to yourself "wow, I really am enjoying this opportunity to see blood and guts", I'd say that there is something wrong with you.

Well, Audition was insanely gory.
Seriously?
I've never gotten around to watching it, know both of it and the plot, never twigged it as a gore film though.

The problem with Audition (well, perhaps not the problem but why it's so creepy) is that it lulls you into this false sense of security and the BAM!~ The first 3/4 of the film is rather, well, dull, but the big end scene is very gory and explicit. As a film in it's whole, it's probably not that gory, but that end scene truly is something else when it comes to gore. When even Rob Zombie finds a scene difficult to watch, you know there's something there.
Fair enough..I think people who judge others based on what movies they watch have a little too much time on their hands.
I never watched the Saw movies for the gore, those movies are like puzzles to me, I never know how they'll end. Who did what, how they got involved. That's what's exciting to me. You'll have to excuse me if you think I'm disturbed because I can stomach (most) of the blood and guts.
