I hated High Tension enough to... Well, I guess it doesn't matter. "Let it go, me. Let it go..."

No idea what that means. But they were such bimbos, I didn't care about them anyway.

It's French for "To each his own", meaning everybody has their own taste...

I use Emule and BitTorrent. Emule is simple, but slow. BT is very quick, but not very intuitive until you learn which sites to use. For horror I recommend tracker.zaerc.com/. I used to post in Tracker3's old message board, but they aren't a very friendly bunch. It's like there's a clique of posters who all talk back and forth, and ignore everyone else. Nothing like this one.

Burn or use torrents. That's the way to go. And stop bitching about movies already. If someone doesn't share your opinion just keep in mind that they're just a cocksucker (no offense laz) anyway. We all know deep in our hearts that High Tension is good.

I have no idea why anyone would like that piece of garbage film. It's as entertaining as watching paint dry. i actually agree with laz...yea i said it i agree with him, high tension was crap aside from a few good death scenes The death scenes weren't even good, either.

High Tension was overrated. It was hailed as the best slasher since the 80's. I didn't think it was that good, but the movie was perverted and brutal. That's all I ask for in a horror film.

"Perverted" - That has nothing to do with real horror.
"Brutal" - Fuck that. Brutality without a valid point is just pornography with violence taking the place of sex.

You're right. But I'm clearly trying to establish that expecting horror films to be brutal and perverted is one of the things that's hurting the genre right now. Filmmakers can turn out total crap as long as some dumb New Millennium loser thinks it's "extreme." FUCK THAT.

^^ another dumb statement, lots of people like horror movies perverted and brutal, i would prob say more do then dont, i dont like all movies like that but sometimes i do love a disgusting brutal perverted movie, just because you dont like it doesnt mean its not good or right, and there really is no such thing as hurting the genre ther are so many damn movies coming out all you gotta do is stay away from what you dont like... there will always be movies you like and dont like coming out that doesnt mean its hurting the genre, every horror fan has diff tastes and standards which is why there are so many diff types of horror movies, i know you like to think if it doesnt suit you then its terrible or ruining the genre.. but thats not the case at all.. you like what you liek and thats fine but you are not right for liking what you do so dont expect every1 to agree with you or to make movies that fit your standards

Woah, hold on a minute Lazario. You liked "Hostel", a clearly perverted and brutal horror film. Don't try and tell me it has a message to it, because it doesn't.

Woah, hold on a minute Lazario. You liked "Hostel", a clearly perverted and brutal horror film. Don't try and tell me it has a message to it, because it doesn't. You're damn-fucking-right it had a message to it. It's a parable of today's "Wild-On" party generation. Ignorant, jackass young people going abroad looking for the "wildest" parties and hotspots with no rules. Hopping from bar to bar, beach to beach, looking for the most drunk and loose girls, picking fights with guys for fun, saying whatever they want to, doing whatever they think they can get away with. Having no respect for a foreign country, and not caring about the consequences of their actions. These guys don't know where they are or what they're doing. But they don't care. And that's why they are captured and tortured. I'm not saying it's a masterpiece. But it sure as hell is a lot better than just about any of these "brutal" torture-type horror films to come out in the last 6 years. It's a damn sight smarter than the Saw movies, Haute Tension, Wolf Creek, and almost all their imitators. Because it uses torture to make a point. Now, I also know Eli Roth is not the smartest filmmaker in the world. Cabin Fever is a mess. When making that movie, he clearly couldn't choose between making a socio-political parable about contageous disease and small-town religious fundamentalism or a sex comedy about stoners who get their just desserts. But clearly he needed to get that film out of his system to make this film, which must have helped him tighten his focus. Because he sure made Hostel the right way. And I didn't like the film. Stylistically, it's a turn-off. There's no humor to it. The characters are annoying - but they're supposed to be, that's the point. Their ignorance reflects the desentization to the concept of respecting other people and insensitivity to gender equality that kids are being spoonfed today. The killers have no personality - but that's the point, they're cold-blooded killers and their attitudes (especially the "American Old-School Businessman") very much reflect the desentization to violence people are being taught today. But I respect the film, deeply. Because it's smart, calculated, and effective. The financial success of the film alone proves that. lots of people like horror movies perverted and brutal, i would prob say more do then dont T - be careful with your words. You're going for a "majority rules" thing. Well, guess what? If we are going to do that, let's remember that the majority of movie watchers still to this day probably think Horror is a bad genre. "prob more do then dont." Are they right? Do all horror movies suck because "lots of people don't like horror movies"? Next, how long do you think people have liked horror movies more perverted and brutal than horror films that aren't? Horror's been around since the 1910's. Do you honestly think the last 27 years of movies like Re-Animator and I Spit on Your Grave can compare to over 50 years of standard-setting horror with little to no sexual content, and films that addressed fears with intelligence as a priority, and scared audiences without the main focus being rape scenes, torture scenes, cheap animal butchery, and explicit nudity or sex scenes - regardless of who likes what? sometimes i do love a disgusting brutal perverted movie As do I. Sometimes. But you and your brainless choir / peanut gallery seem to be saying that you think this shift in the genre is for the better. Guess what? Horror movies are not made better by just gratuitously adding torture scenes. Torture is a very hard element to make work in any movie. Which is why "brutal" horror films are usually the worst kind. Because there is not a sufficient focus on storytelling or social commentary. We're in a completely different mode right now then we were in the 80's with slasher franchises. And though there certainly were a lot of crappy Graduation Day type slashers, those films were never that brutal. And that era should have been the worst of it. The filmmakers should have learned their lesson. A focus purely on brutality makes the genre boring and all the filmmakers do is copy the cliches. Which is why today's horror sucks so much. and there really is no such thing as hurting the genre there are so many damn movies coming out all you gotta do is stay away from what you dont like... Do you actually think Horror is in a good place just because there are a lot of horror movies coming out? Would you say that if every horror movie coming out was just like Squirm? You know you'd be bitching and pissing and moaning. And why? Because you know it's not about what people think. It's how the movies are made. You can stay away from what you "don't like" all you want. But we all know this formula is tainting the entire genre and almost every last movie being made now. Every killer film is just like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, every ghost film is just like The Sixth Sense, and every zombie film is just like the Dawn of the Dead remake. And the fact of the matter is, low budget or high budget - it's still the same thing. The filmmakers are the same kinds of people with the same exact problems and talent levels. Which is why they make the same kinds of movies. Almost nobody is trying at all. And this does hurt the genre. Because the movies suffer. If you don't see this, we're all in trouble. every horror fan has diff tastes and standards which is why there are so many diff types of horror movies Not anymore. All horror films are the same. In fact, the subgenres are almost completely gone. This is the decade of No Variety and No Creativity in the genre (except for a few shows in the Masters of Horror line-up). There are just 3 kinds of movies left - killer, ghost, and creature. And if you look at all the movies this decade in those categories, you'll see that they're all rip-offs of movies that were made maybe a year or two before it. i know you like to think if it doesnt suit you then its terrible or ruining the genre.. You wish that were the case. I think you're blinding yourself to the truth. Years later (and not decades, either), you'll see these movies coming out now are pure shit compared to movies made back in the decades before- when standards of quality filmmaking meant we actually got good horror movies. Many. ^^ another dumb statement Nope. As usual, my statements are insightful, well-structured, thoroughly researched, and completely convincing. I'm just dealing with some people who are seriously in denial and don't understand the background of their arguments.
