Most people around me classify gore flicks as horror nowadays and if it takes 10,000 mutilated bodies to scare someone I feel sorry for how accustomed to death we as a society have become. Back in 1931 all Frankenstein's monster had to do was stand up and people fainted. Back in the day it was about telling a story, but most of my friends don't want a story though, they want mindless torture porn for an hour and a half. I watched Hostel with my cousins one time and after it was done they didn't even remember the characters names but they could describe in detail how they all died.
