Gore porn seems to be quite in vogue nowadays, eh?

Saw 4, the fourth in the series is now out.


I would even put Kill Bill as part of this trend.

It seems to finally be waning at the box office, and I'm hoping the next trend in horror will be more interesting … the J-Horror stuff was much more interesting.
