Disturbing

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2014)

I happened to tune into the Sci-Fi channel yesterday and the movie Hostel was on. I never saw the film before and only caught the last 15 minutes or so. I'm not into gory movies but nonetheless, I felt I had to comment. What is it with all the gore in movies today? Are we really that violent a species that enjoys watching people being tortured, maimed and killed? I just don't understand what pleasure anyone can get out of that, but apparently these movies are popular with a certain sect of our society. I find it disturbing that teens and even children would watch these particular kinds of movies and get some sort of thrill out of it. Sorry, I just don't get it or find them at all entertaining. In fact, they sicken me. I read and see enough violence in the news everyday and wonder why.
