Yep...

That sorth of thing happened with the Exorcist came out but that was due to a combination of an incredible story and things that people had never seen on film before.

It was an awesome movie.

“Terrifier” was like an 80’s throwback. A homage to the golden age of gore.

Absolutely. I watched a leaked clip of twitter that people were talking about. It was actually comically terrible, didn’t even look real, and definitely not terrifying. Worse shit can be seen everyday in Mexico.

What are your thoughts on the claims in the OP?

I enjoy horror films, but do not like the gore/torture porn stuff.
Link Posted: 10/17/2022 2:25:43 PM EDT

Quoted:


The extreme reactions sparked the director, Leone, to reportedly tweet out to fans, "To everyone saying that reports of people fainting and puking during screenings of Terrifier 2 is a marketing ploy, I swear on the success of the film it is NOT. These reports are 100% legit. I wish we were smart enough to think of that…But then again we didn’t need to."

Those aren't really horror movies in my opinion. They're more like the "torture porn" genre, which I don't like much. I LOVE horror though. Gory slasher horror is still fun as long as it is still actually horror and not just an attempt to make the audience squirm for gore alone. I like being scared, not finishing a movie and saying "that is fucked up."

I'm aware of what the film was about, but the "torture porn" label was created because of the film and is thrown around willy nilly by people not familiarwith a lot of horror. Frankly IMO it doesn't deserve the label cause the movie is lame....

Again, if you want something qualifying as torture porn go seek out August Underground.

No thanks! I saw Hostel in the theater. I was in between my wife and a lady I did not know. It was uncomfortable and it was pretty gory to me. I can't stand saw. The first one was ok, the rest were just dumb.

My kind of horror is Cabin in the woods or Tucker and Dale Vs Evil or Evil Dead.

I remember listening to radio spots for gory movies from the '70s.  They used to claim things like this, too.  It seemed the Italian movies really liked to use this angle.  I'm pretty sure the DVD for Fulci's Zombie / Zombi 2 has ads on it that claim people were puking and fainting in the audience.
