Whutwhutwhut.
Yeah, you all know what I'm talking about.

Y'know, those horror movies that always try and place a provocative scene in the movie. Now, I'm not a prude or anything, but WHY, why do horror movies always have either a) a rape scene, b) a shower scene c) a sex scene or d) a scene where a girl is changing clothes?
Could've the directors/writers have placed a violent and suspenseful scene ANYWHERE else in the movie?
Example: In the commercial for "Mirrors", this girl stands in front of her bathroom mirror just about to take a shower, and then BAM. She removes her towel/robe/whatever and is practically nude.
Seriously, wtf.

It's mind boggling, but hey, I guess sex sells. I for one am not buying it.

thoughts and opinions?

i do have top agree, im getting tired of this whole
"Sex" thing in the horror movies.
I remember when horror movies where all about the suspense and
real horror.

today its all about adding sex and GORE GALORE [sorry but blood baths are not scary they are gross.]

zomg I know right?!
It's all about adding excess amount of gore, and the sex scenes.

I'm glad I'm not going insane, and that other people actually notice these things. /rage. D<

ya i know..its things like this that actually keep me from seeing the latest
horro movies..
I cant deal with all that blood but sometimes they go over board and i know its so fake i just roll my eyes and go :"really now"

All though the latest trend is
"coping the Asian movie style"

sorry but seeing 5 movies all with an asian girl with long black hair in her face isnt scary anymore, and or have the potential to scare me, i expect it now.

Yup I agree with ^^.Horrors have gotten to be ssdm,(same s**t,different movie).I guess writers have had a huge writers block,between the same ol sex scenes and slashing.~yawns~

That's never made sense to me either, especially if the characters know something freaky is going on. I know that if I had a crazed stalker/monster of the week/what-have-you after me, my first thought isn't going to be, "Hey, let's have sex now!"

It probably is a case of 'sex selling' or maybe the creators don't think they're being edgy enough without a nude scene.

one thing you must know. is that there are various types of horror films, and there are horrors that even parody horror by being excessive or exaggerated.

the films you are talking mostly about is
Gore/Slasher film.
this genre is not trying to give you a deep story, and the reason for watching it is the gore and kill numbers. doesnt make it bad, just means the movie is portraying what it was created for.

if you want a Suspense horror film, look for them. its not just an "Asian" thing.

a girl about to take a shower and has to remove her towel? what is she suppose to do?
take a shower with the towel?

I have also noticed this. I recently watched a Rob Zombie's remake of the first Halloween movie. There must have been at least three or for sex scenes, and in every one of those scenes, people were killed. There must be a reason why horror film directors chose to do this. Maybe because when we are nude or anything like that, we feel a sense of security and safeness, otherwise we probably wouldn't be in that situation. Directors might believe that would be our most horrifying and most vulnerable time to be stuck.

Meh, I'm just sick of cliched sex and shower scenes.

im going to have to disagree with you.
Unfortunately Asian films as much as they are suspenseful don't do it anymore.
They all have the same out come.
Some dead girl with long black hair in front of her face coming out walls
and tvs and anything else possible. with some long freaky tongue she licks people with and so fourth.

Asian suspense films have gotten just as bad as American "Horror" films.
They are repetitive.

And with the way America is producing scary movies all they release is Gore/slasher films or horrible remakes of Asian films.

Latly anything that is suppose to be scary has been gore/slasher what was the latest "suspense film that America made [not remade of an Asian film that does not count]

I understand what you're saying, but it's not like this is a new trend. I think every horror movie I've ever seen has had a sex scene in it. Maybe except for the original Halloween, but it's been a long time since I saw that so I could be wrong. Heh...

There is a lot of gratuitous sex and nudity in films these days (not just in horror), but there are also good reasons for showing such things in a horror film. The element of being nude and/or intimate makes the moment, the character, the film much more personal to the viewer, which makes the violence that much more shocking or disturbing. Of course, if the scenes are in excess and/or have nothing to do with the story or events, it makes much less sense to have them there.
