Why Gore?

After reading the two assigned articles there were some shocking points that were brought to my attention. One thing that really hit me was that society really liked to see the gory, bloody shit. Another thing that was brought to my mind was the connection of many popular horror films to the loss of the killer's mother. This horror movies really get you thinking about what is really going on. Another series could have the same affect such as the scream, saw, and hostel movies. One thing that I really don't understand is why people love this horror movies. I know we are suppose to move away from them in this blog discussion but I dont know why people like the blood and the gore. It does not bother me to see it but I dont understand why people get excited when they see someone mutilated or tortured. This excitement is similar to the story of hostel. In hostel rich people pay money to kill innocent tourists. This rich people would do it for the pleasure, apparently its suppose to be a great feeling. Everyone that enjoys the hostel movies is kind of like the person who is doing the killing in the movie. This could mean that each and every person who enjoys these kinds of movies would the same thing in real life. IF this was to be true, we'd be living with a bunch of psychopathic killers.
