this is pretty much it ... its the times.
We're in a place in society now where too much is happening in the real world to make gore appealing in the theatres (to most people) unless like you said .. it serves a point to heighten the realism in a serious film.
Gratuitous explicit violence isnt in vogue right now.
Todays news has kind of let the wind out of that sail anyway.
you'll see worse online or on the news than in a horror movie these days.
but dont worry .. i guarentee it will return. all things happen in cycles. One daring filmmaker will eventually do it, and others will follow suit.
We may have to wait for Romero's Land of the Dead ... i cant see him going soft on the gore .. it made him who he is today.
