Its a moral issue.
When you watch a horror film, before you insert the DVD, you know you will be watching a 'created' world, even if the locations displayed within the film are real....the events have had no 'real' negative
effect on any any life.
When you watch something that is portrayed to be 'real', then you know that before you subject yourself to watching the 'scenes' you have understood that actual lives have been
effected by what you are going to watch or have just seen. This has an
affect on your morrals causing an emotional response, that you have either disliking or liking too.......
This shows that some people will be able to watch 'real' scenes without being disturbed, whereas some will find the scenes uncomfortable to watch.
I myself, do find scenes disturbing, If I know that they have had some effect on a real life.
