[Girl Drink Drunk]

I would definately agree that the violence in the Saw movies are over the top. However, I also I think that the situations that the protagonists, and just the thought of knowing that they have to do something horrible to stay alive. That's what makes the movie so tense. Anyways on violence and horror, blablablah, I think that there should be a good balance between gore and atmosphere (and possibly a good script. I mean, you gotta have the gruesome scene in a movie that makes your stomach (like when Kevin Bacon got that arrow driven through his throat in Friday the 13th. Shut up), and at the same time have a tense mood (and possibly ambient music like in the Silent Hill games). I would like to see a movie that is both scary by using violence and elements of atmosphere, and can still be taken seriously. Also, I actually think that the original Texas Massacre is a tad overrated, because really, it didnt scare THAT much. I mean, there were some moments that made me cring, but COME ON, with a name with the words "chainsaw" and "massacre", I expected a few gruesome chainsaw related-killings (which turned out to be one, which WASNT disturbing at all). And come on, how was I supposed to take that seen in the car seriously where that creepy dad keeps saying "YOU'LL BE OKAY" and keeps poking the girl with a broom. There was random violence in the movie (which was pathetic at best) like when Leatherface just gets knocked down by a hammer and saws part-way through his leg. What was the point of that whole part?. Well, thats enough of my rant, and if I want horror, Ill just settle for the Silent Hill games, because they are actually a lot scarier than most horror movies I've watched.
