I have issues with me being ace and also some of the needless titillation or glorifying SA that can ruin the film for me. Re-animator would be a perfect example of this or Basket Case. I've been into horror since I was a kid, I watched Nightmare on Elm street when I was 6 and I've been a horror fan since but I do have issues with a lot of the genre even though I can turn my brain off for some things I find a lot of modern stuff doesn't cut it as much due to being pg-13 or feel like it.
i believe i must have seen my first horror movie (puppet master) around that age too. definitely well before i started first grade lol.
yeah i used to be kind of a miserable asshole all the time & in retrospect i think i kept seeking out more & more vile stuff because it was a way for me to process trauma from the comfort of my bed. i'm in a much better place now so a lot of the shit that used to not bother me has become a hard pass.
while it still remains a special interest i'd say the way i engage with it has changed p drastically over the years.
I like the first few puppet masters, I enjoyed Torch ^^ but yeah I watched all the Freddy films, Hellraisers a firm favourite and a load of others. I like the over the top gorey stuff.. or psychological horror.
I had trauma growing up too with what was going on at home but I still managed to sneak a watch at most horror my family would bring in until I could rent things/ pirate myself. Plus I'd watch nearly every horror/sci fi film on TV when I could. I have things I can look past and logic out but some stuff I flatly can't watch. I tend to watch the classics from time to time (September/October through November will generally be Horror season) and if I find some bad b movie that doesn't cross the lines then I'll watch those too as those can be great lol
Re-animator
IKR could have been good except for the SA that's played for laughs
Also to be real, when Doctor Funnyman is playing around with reanimating corpses into states of excruciating pain and such, it should be framed as fuckin awful/terrifying but it seems like the movie wants to have it as a gag. Also even though it's thankfully all animatronics, that's too much animal abuse tbh, which again the film kinda thinks is a joke?
Yeah with these things it's a fine line and I can turn my brain off to some things but others stack up. Re-animator is a black comedy so I get it but I think it goes into tasteless territory for me and unfortunately you do get that with the genre.
cw violence etc
A cop getting blasted because he thinks he's a cowboy and getting his bones shoved into an exoskeleton to be a cop-bot is good black comedy. Resurrecting a cat that's been hit by a car is not good black comedy, Re-animator scriptwritercw violence
Yeah I enjoyed the black comedy in RoboCop and the brutality, shame it's a cop film.Animal cruelty isn't fun.. I don't enjoy when things touch on it either.. I have no issues with that scene in robocop tho.
