Lol. This. Applying their logic- horror movies especially independent movies would never, ever get created or developed. Imagine contemplating whether babysitters will get murdered en masse ala Halloween, or cancelling Freddy bc kids have nightmares, the whole set up for Texas Chainsaw was based on "inspired" events- no one is committing chainsaw murder on a daily basis out here like it's an epidemic and Rob Z movies wouldn't even reach past the creative stage bc of the horror-core elements of his movies. (Don't say a word
@Jello Biafra, not one damn word..I already know the set up
and things in the pike to address with you. I didn't forget- it's never over, my process was interrupted but will resume as planned
). Bottom line - real world psychos and deviants are going to do what they do regardless. That's being morally and mentally compromised as individuals, nothing to do with artistic expression.
Let's not leave out the fact that Hostel is based on real life organ trafficking and harvesting
But there's not enough outrage for the real life issues behind that. Remember how we discussed movies like Spit on Your Grave and Last House on the Left, were not widely received bc they cater to a more targeted, smaller audience. That would stifle that from ever being made based on the graphic content alone. Reminds of that whole "Tipper Gore" ratings and violent content, movement back in the day, acting like it was a national crisis. Now everyone is acting like a Tipper behind their keyboards about what they don't like based on whatever is trending. So fake.
and side note: I've never seen Re-Animator, what the hell is that about with the head
???!!
