I'm obviously not gonna complain about the lack of it in something that's aiming to be suspenseful like Ringu (nude girls coming out of the TV would have made that a completely different movie altogether!).
So it all depends on what type of horror you're talking! |
Exactly.
I love Franco and Rollin films, i'm not going to be hypocritical and say their films would be better off without any sex or nudity.
So just as Shel says it all depends on the genre of horror we intend to watch. You don't need exploitation in
The Others however if you watched
The Nude Vampire you'd feel a little short changed without the exploitative elements.
