the end of torture horror films
with the recent beating that hostel part 2 received this weekend at the box office (it was predicted to make 15 to 20 million and only made 8 million) do you guys and girls think that we are near the end of toture horror films like saw and hostel? i wonder what will happen this october when saw IV is released? will it tank or bank? what do you guys and gals think?
I personally hope that saw IV will tank. let it end. like hostel part 2 i do see saw IV bombing at the box office. thus ending the torture horro phase of horror films. i wonder what the next horror fad will be?

I liked saw, saw 2 and saw 3. I like the saw series much better than Hostel because I like the plot better and the clever traps. Those traps are more interesting than the Hostel torture scenes.

Saw will run itself out before it gets any better. :)
Hostel....I honestly do not see any need to do anymore..... The end of torture films.....Nah, there will always be a market for them. But I beleive after the 4th Saw:rolleyes: , comes out it will die down.....It would be nice to see some old school horror films come back....All we have to do is wait for that one movie.......

The hostel type gore doesnt do anything for me. I don't get gross out by that at all. Gore in general doesnt do anything for me. There isnt any suspense from those type of movies. What they really need to do is slow down with all these remakes? I already seen the originals so I know whats gonna happen already in the remakes which ruins all suspense and makes the movie so predictable.

I agree that remakes should probably calm down, but in some cases, there are some that exceed the original. Ex: John Carpenter's The Thing.
I am just waiting for the day they try and remake Alien, because you know it is going to happen.....

I think that films like Hostel tank at the box office, because there just isn't the audience for horror films anymore. Most people appear to go for the blockbusters, and it is a small minority like ourselves who will make the effort to see a film like this at the cinema. Else, if people don't hear good things about a film, then they will wait for it to go to dvd. Remembering too that going to the movies is quite expensive, compared to back in say the 80's. I think that the majority of money made for either the Saw films or the Hostel films will be from dvd hire or sales. Lets face it these aren't films that are going to appeal to everyone out there. If people want gore, they only have to watch CNN. Hostel 2 has an "R" rating here (18 years and over), so there are going to be alot of teenagers who are only going to be able to see this once the dvd is out.

To answer the question, i don't think that this is the death of torture films. There is still the Hannibal Lecter series, and torture movies can just go directly to dvd for the interested viewer. If there is going to be a new fad, then it is the re-making of Japanese horror films with bigger budgets for effects etc.

Hostel 2 didn't win the weekend...big deal. The film was made for rather cheap. The reason it didn't take off is that it's the summer blockbuster season. There are simply too many films out there for a horror movie to take off.
If it had come out in October, it would be a hit. Saw IV has owned Halloween weekend for years and will continue to do so.
