Even my friend I was with, and she doesn't mind horror and gore, thought it was a bit too strong and unnecessary . This was probably the Zombie homage. But she was creeped out by the teeth scene as well and that was quite mild.
Why not just slash him or something, its less graphic and more in keeping in line with Myers fixation of sharp implements.
I suppose. The creators needed to up the anti though for casual viewers. Most casual horror viewers today don’t understand the meaning of pure suspense and are just looking for the gore. I’m not saying that’s right, but it’s pretty understandable why they put it in there. Yeah, its a shame, but loading something with gore, to make up for lack of genuine scares is a cop-out. I think this film was cop-out for the most part.
I like violence in horror films and some blood, but the best slashers have inventive kills, make them look painful and disturbing, without going over the top. I may have mentioned this to you before, H2 upped the body count from the first and it was violent, but it didn't make the blood\gore overdone and its like I could feel every knife, hammer, scalpel and needle making contact and it was still squeamish.
