I am one of the few who actually enjoy horror movies. However, when I was watching saw yesterday and it was literally scene after scene of people just getting killed. There was zero story line or suspense and I realized this is becoming a trend. Our culture is so over exposed that the only way production companies think they can surprise people anymore is to literally make it all gore. The best scare movies are ones like The Exorcist, Scream, and Seven where there is a thrilling story with a twist to go along with all of the blood and gore. In Seven the murder has a clever agenda that makes you more enthralled by the movie as you try to figure it out and become more attached to the characters. People in my generation are so over exposed to aspects of society like sex, drugs, and murder that literally nothing is a surprise anymore. Everything has been done or seen somewhere else and to avoid being unoriginal the movies that come out are either all killing or just stupid and it's a shame.
