Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

I was wondering what you guys think of the "extreme horror" genre. I used to consider myself a pretty hardcore horror fan because the violence in most horrors doesn't bother me. I love zombie films, slasher movies and even bloody Italian giallos like the work of Dario Argento.

The only horror movies that I have had difficulty watching parts of are Hostel, Hostel 2, and the original I Spit on Your Grave (because of the torture and/or rape scenes). Sensing my limits, I have never watched Hostel 3 or either of the Human Centipede movies.

Recently, I joined a group on Facebook for collectors of horror movies and many of the members love to watch more extreme horrors like A Serbian Film, Inside, Salo, and Martyrs, none of which I had even heard of before I joined the group. I was curious enough to seek out details about the films. Having read a very detailed synopsis of A Serbian Film, there is no way I will ever watch it.

Are there members here into that extreme stuff and, if so, what draws you to it or what enjoyment do you get out of it?
