There was a hole here - it's gone now

I'm the kind of person who likes horror movies. Movies from the 80's like Halloween, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, which are campy and at times make you laugh or snicker at the stupidity of the characters or because of the funny movie effects, which aren't raising feelings of horror - if that even was the filmmakers intention. And Asian horror is great too, movies like Shutter, The Grudge, The Ring, which are all psychological horror, that makes your hair stand and cause goosebumps all over your skin.
And there's also artistic or suspending horrors like Suspiria, Rosemary's baby, the original Wickerman and good old science fiction horror, like The Thing and Alien-movies. Also many more to be mentioned in many different categories.

But I do not care for splatter or gore. They're usually for one-time watching only. They're not funny, they do not cause fear, they're just gruesomely violent and bloody. There seems to be more blood in those movies, than actual bleeding victims.
And usually the whole point of those kind of movies is to make the viewer queasy by showing the most imaginative acts of violence possible.

I can understand the point of view, when someone watches those kind of violent movies out of curiosity or to try to endure watching horrifying things, but those kind of movies are sometimes without any story or definitely without any moral of the story.

I started to think about this when I decided to check out the newer version of Evil Dead (2013):

It was visually good looking, and I liked the musics in it, but it was nothing more than a bloody massacre with demons in the background. It was so filled with violence, that it started to get comical forms. I mean if you get stabbed a dozen times, you probably wouldn't survive or even remain consciousness while you're bleeding like a stuck pig - and still get stabbed with all sort of sharp objects. Ridiculous.
And in the end, the amount of blood got even more ridiculous forms. Not to mention the forced catch-phrase before the survival kills the monster. That kind of catch-phrasing should be left for action movies only. After all, action movies are half of the time made with a twinkle in the eye. But seriously made horror movies gets their ratings dropped even lower if there's a out of place un- or intentional comical moment.

Even more than the horror movies I like horror games. Not only the terror intensifies when you're in charge of the story, but there's usually a fascinating and haunting story, that leaves you perplexed and breathless in the end.

And for example I could give you the first four Silent Hill-games that were made by the original team called team Silent.
There meets the amazing story line, musics and atmosphere creating an experience that you will not forget. It's an art form to create amazing stories with moral, mystery, empathy and amazement.

Silent Hill will always have a special place in my heart for being the first horror games I ever played and watched being played.

"In my restless dreams, I see that town... Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again some day... but you never did. Well, I'm alone there now - in our special place... waiting for you."
