What's sad is that it can appeal to unbalanced people who wouldn't hesitate to act out their fantasies.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-85733794784675378752014-10-05T03:22:58.649-05:002014-10-05T03:22:58.649-05:00Having met A LOT of filmmakers through my work, I ...Having met A LOT of filmmakers through my work, I can easily say that those who make the most disgusting movies are often the sweetest of all people. And filmmakers who want to include a moral message and a good heart are more often than not depressed, frustrated, and even downright dishonest people. I guess they're trying to compensate with their art.Vanessa Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953359344425030388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-54164740423898303002014-10-03T18:13:57.598-05:002014-10-03T18:13:57.598-05:00No horror movies or books for me.

A clean death, okay, but yeah, sick minds are out there, never think they are not. <br /><br />I like reading about the future where there just might be some intelligent minds. There will, however, always be sadists, masochists, etc as all genes are not created equal.D.G.

Just the monster(s) are no fun for me, too.<br /><br />T.:<br />I like suspenseful thrillers as well. Gore is just a lazy way to tell a tale to me. :-)Roland D.
