3 reviews and a question to the masses

Slither: I didn't see this as much of a horror film, don't get me wrong I liked it and all in fact I watched it twice in a forty eight hour period which is rare for me.
Still I saw it more as a horror comedy focusing on the gross out factor as opossed to the freak out or gore factor.
Furthermore, I got a spoof feeling off this film like they were poking fun at the horror flicks of the sixties and fifties
point it didn't frighten me at all just kept me rivited with the great makeup and creature creation aka the Brenda Ball awsome scene!
am I glad I bought it yes, will I watch it again definetly
Beyond the Wall of Sleep:
A mind fuck and a half!
This had the Lions Gate lable for production so I was a little worried about the suckiness factor being overly apparent but hey sometimes they do the job right and in this case as with The Devils Rejects I was pleased.
Now a coupple of points one, this film is in black and white and made me think of Borris Karloff to an extreme degree two do not blink or you will miss some important shit! Ever see The Snake Pit? Take the patients in that movie give them Acid or Shrooms and there's your movie
by the time it was over I didn't know whether I enjoyed it or was just seriously weirded out and mentally exausted maybe a little of both
Still I would recomend it to you all.
The Hill Have Eyes: I liked it despite its mixed reviews
more gore I think would have made it better I think of it more as a texas chainsaw wanna be and that's really all I have to say towards that
Now for my question, am I the only one who thinks horror films are seriously getting watered down? In other words they aren't spilling enough blood or slipting enough skulls these days?
It's like they want you to be scared but not too scared...I mean common tramatize me for christ sake I can take it
I mean if my mind was that sensetive do you think I would watch these films no!
I'd be in the Disney section comparing The Little Mermaid to Princes Jasmine
ooooh that hurt just typing it!
Seems to me horrors going soft...maybe you guys could recomend some titles to change my mind.
