Are we Really as Desensitized as We Think We Are?

• "for every pulled out intestine, decapitated head and slit throat shown onscreen, there are at least five bored and unaffected audience members muttering things like, ‘That blood is SOOOO CGI.’ Instead of being affected by the violence being depicted onscreen."

• Torture porn craze - desensitized viewers, cinema violence
• "It is a common misconception that horror films made decades ago were far less gory and less intense than the horror movies made today." E.g.  Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust, I Spit on Your Grave, Drill Killer.

• "I had just become uninterested in the over usage of the foreseeable gore used in today’s mainstream horror knock offs."
