I like to think I have a fairly strong stomache, but after seeing this 9 minute leaked clip I almost lost it. This is said to be the goriest movie ever made... and I can safely say that it is.
This movie will stink up the joint. Did anybody notice how the cute little baby pirahna all coiled up in its egg looked exactly like the poster did for Alien3?
One word for whoever filmed this: TRIPOD!
Down in the hole / Jesus tries to crack a smile / Beneath another shovel load
The footage sucks... and by footage, I mean the guy with the camera, not the film itself. The gore is actually better than I expected. A near perfect balance of realistic and over the top. The victims getting dragged out of the water look pretty grisly. I like the little bits of flesh floating in the water when the camera goes under. Eli Roth's death is awesome. The credits written in flesh is one of the most metal things I've seen in any movie.

Safely, you say? Dead Alive has held this title for eighteen years. I've yet to hear a single horror fan disagree. Judging from this clip, Piranha's got a long way to go.
I would not go so far as to suggest the majority of "gore film" enthusiasts have a genuine, clinical paraphillia, but since a rough eye-balling of the comments per topic indicate a statistically larger number of horror fans at SimplyScripts.com than in the general population (and certainly by genre revenue) would the indiginous population here at SS volunteer WTH it is about cinematic gore* that appeals to you? http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?
Nuts and bolts. The mental mechanics. Is it the color? Is it the relief? Why do you find yourself keep coming back for more? How does this genre produce such a loyal following? Who can explain the addictive qualities? Are ther any ex-gore enthusiasts that can explain WTH were you thinking THEN that you are now beyond? (Is there such a person?!) I figure cinema gore fanatics should have little aversion towards self dissection, unless that is actually part of the interest! Ha! The more horrific the detail the better. Dig away. Bleed a little for me.
FWIW, long ago I worked over a decade in the emergency room of a major metropolitan hospital and have seen literally everything that survived that far. I personally possess no entertainment value in the genre but wholly respect your legal rights. No judgement or castigation from me. Frankly I'm most interested in figuring out a way to apply the addictive qualities of gore and horror to other genres. I suspect it isn't simple.
Thank you.
* I really want to limit this inquiry to cinema gore. Not really interested in attraction to actual gore experiences or interests, although a "contrast/comparison to" is/may be useful. TY!
I expect Richard Dreyfuss to kill himself, much like David Carradine did.... in shame.
[insert apologies]
LOL! I imagine you can't really do this sorta stuff all by yourself, so I think his buddies that realized "SH!T Old dude is dead!" then split are pretty sh!tty buddies.
Yeah, I was wondering how long Dreyfuss' cameo would last and how much was he getting paid for it. Pfft. Hollywood ho.
(See! I told you! Rub a little $$ on it and it makes your guilt go away! I ain't jerkin' ya, Phil.)
While Screenrider does not necessarily speak for all of us, Don does try to run a "clean" house.
Pretty much anything goes with the written word in your own scripts -- but on the main boards, excessive profanity is frowned upon, and nudity in most forms -- save for the odd Tanuki -- is not tolerated.
Big of you to delete it yourself. No harm, no foul.
I've seen Dead-Alive, and besides the lawn mower scene I don't think it was anything special. The filmakers used more fake blood for this movie.
~Zack~
I highly doubt more fake blood was used. Dead Alive, as silly as it is, is a matter of sheer gallons, not to mention virtually every part of the body is dismembered in its own special little gag. Whatever. Tokyo Gore Police? Inside? I highly doubt an R-rated studio film is gonna take the prize.

I've heard everyone from David Cronenberg to Eli Roth to Quentin Tarantino to Chris Alexander (Fangoria editor) try to explain moviegoers' fascination with violence/gore. While there's good points to be found in all of their testimonies, I think everyone either overanalyzes the subject or ends up missing something. Whatever the case may be, I don't think they ever get through to the people who are opposed to it. So I guess the simplest answer would be some people "get it" and some people don't. But a little too much of a generalization for me but I think it's close enough to the truth.
I think there's way too many different kinds of horror movies to really give a simple explanation though. Evil Dead and Re-Animator are nothing like Cannibal Holocaust or Last House on the Left which in turn are nothing like Silence of the Lambs or The Shining. Further more, none of those films are anything like Martyrs or Antichrist. Technically, they're all horror movies but you just can't lump them together in a conversation like this.
In the case of Piranha 3D, I think it just looks fun. Wouldn't be so fun if it were real though, right? I suppose you would have the credibility to say that, having worked in an E.R. At the same time, my aunt has been a nurse for as long as I can remember and once mentioned a surgeon yelling "catch!" to one of his assistants as he pretended to throw an organ he'd just removed from a sedated patient.

Oh, exactly! (BTW I'm 65 PDF pages into "Complete". It's good. Probably be an hour before I finish it.) Oh yeah. Horror is chock full O tropes. Can you describe your personal interest toward gore films? A gritty, bloody self expose analysis of "Get it"? Is it fine entertainment as long as it's (respectfully) stupid/absurd, but if it starts smacking of a legit snuff film then it's not cool at all? How far is too far? When do ticket and DVD sales plummet?
