The funny thing with me is...IT DEPENDS ON THE FILM...
I can watch some really outrageous violence if it is handled in a certain way. Maybe you could call it an operatic or stagey way. A framework that makes the violence somehow stylized or fun. "Sleepy Hollow" is very gruesome and anatomical but so rooted in fantasy that it doesn't really seem real, for example. Not a problem to watch.
Tilt that very same kind of scene, just a little bit, towards dead realism, and I will find it unendingly unpleasant and more than a little offensive. It depends on the way the scene is staged...the attitude of the movie, the feel of the movie...
