It seems like a lot of companies now realize they make more from a PG-13 horror film so we get that with a lot of "almost sex scenes" so the companies can just pile up the money. Would the Wicker Man remake have made more money if it was R and included the nude rituals?

Yes, like what Despare said. If it has to do with the plot or anything but what the next thing I say it, it's fine, but, if it's for the sake of putting boobs and ass on the screen to attract horny teens... lame.

Wicker Man is a GREAT example...The first one was FILLED with nudity and sexuality...It was boring and lame, I hated it (couldn't even finish watching it...fell asleep)...But, the remake was a really good movie...I enjoyed it

V makes a good point...The sex stuff is old and tired, it's EVERYWHERE...I wanna see something new...Some good innovative kills would be much better

Thats the main reason why the Saw series were so hugely successful.

But with Hostel it came back to the same stuff. Sure, there were some great scenes of torture and kills, but the oozfest of sex and parties brought it down.

I couldn't stand it either. There wasn't a single element of horror I could find in the entire film, until the last 5 minutes, it was, just, lame.

I liked it because it was surreal and it was so unlike anything else...

I wouldn't put it in my top 10 but I did like the original.

Movies like the Cube series wouldnt be so critically acclaimed either. There's a note for filmmakers out there as to what the audiences what to see right now.

Something new. Not the same rehashes anymore. Get something new in your movies, and you are bound to get the audiences.

Grindhouse, anyone?
