there are definately a lot of people who prefer substance over style. it's about 1/2 and 1/2.

i always found that kind of funny in the horror genre where reality often is thrown out by the very nature of the plot itself.

i dont believe in ghosts. so by that token i should see any movie with a ghost as fanciful fluff (if i was of that mind set). There are a lot of people who do feel this way.

But - because i do like stylistic movies and using my imagination - i can go with them - if they are well made.

I dont need everything explained for me .. i can enjoy a visual trip
If i expected everything to make sense there would be very few movies to chose from and definatelly nothing in the horror genre where everything is 100% bullshit to begin with.
(except fear itself.... although even thinking about that - irrational fear is bullshit too .. it's not like there is anything in a movie to be truely afraid of - it aint real)

I dont know why/where people draw their lines of 'whats acceptable' in the sand. I cant even define my own level of acceptability - other than this : if it is visually interesting, the acting is decent ... the pacing is appropriate ,,etc .. then its a good experince for me.

After seeing Silent Hill I left that theatre with some strong and lasting visual images. I cant think of many other horror films in ages that has done that for me..
