I agree that this is not a recent trend, nor are the reactions to films new. When Alien came out in the theatre, people were screaming and running out halfway through. I have never had a reaction like that and frankly don't understand it.
I will stick my neck out by saying that I did enjoy Hostel and Saw - own them both and have watched them repeatedly. I believe the reason why I enjoy movies like this is because I have never seen a movie that actually scared me so I settle for ones that make me cringe.
