Yeah I was thinking I would have had a lot harder time watching something like The Sixth Sense alone in a darkened auditorium. The scariness of Hostel 2 was mostly of the sudden jump type. The actual torture and death scenes are more of the sickened grimace variety. I recall seeing some pretty disturbing visuals in the last couple seasons of Buffy too.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Nathan Fillion taking out Xander's eye springs to mind.

A guy I worked with overseas, whose job involves picking through the remnants of suicide bombers in Iraq, saw Hostel and told me it was the most disturbing thing he had ever seen. He didn't seem happy about that.
What movie were Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore both in? I am drawing a blank.

Yes it was. I confirmed with this handy tool on imdb: Look up joint ventures.
ETA: that was not the form I was looking for. I usually get to it by searching for one actor, then scrolling to the bottom of their imdb page and entering the name of another actor in the "look up joint ventures" box.

See now they've gone and taken all the fun out of "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon".

I think (as is usually the case) most of the people who are shouting about how wrong and evil Eli Roth's films are have never seen them. I used to be one of them.
I've seen Cabin Fever, which would be enough to put me off Eli Roth forever even without his insulting halfwitted defense of his movies against charges of homophobia.
