Wanted more gratuitous nudity


Finally when it came to the shower scene I thought here it goes! You know how they slowly pan the body with goofy shower music? Then all you get is looking down at her head and a nano second of her breasts from the above angle!!

At least the head witch had some nice scenes but come on now. Nekkid witches is what we want in crappy films like this.

It's a HORROR movie--not a porn film. If I want female nudity I'll get it online. I find it kind of disturbing that so many guys get annoyed when there's NO female nudity in a horror film. It's like they need violence and pointless nudity to enjoy themselves. If the nudity is needed for the plot that's cool...but when u start throwing in pointless boobs and butt I just get annoyed. I'd LOVE to see how you guys would react if they had MALE nudity in a horror film (not that it's ever gonna happen).

...I don't think anyone watches these films hoping for nudity but when the film is crap and they tease you with a bit here and a bit there you want to justify watching it by hoping for some nudity.

Besides, I don't remember ever seeing pointless boobs in any movie! Why get rid of the nipples?

Also, nudity is such a staple of horror films, that started way back with the Jason movies and Halloween movies that it's expected.

However, if it pleases you to see male nudity then help yourself. Personally I would prefer female nudity.

OK--u made some good points. IF the movie is crap then nudity can only help it. I prefer male--u prefer female. That's cool. It just annoys me when they throw in nudity for NO reason whatsoever. Look at Rob Zombie's pointless remake of "Halloween". We get multiple pointless shots of a topless girl who has been beaten by Myers and is in considerable pain. Seriously--is that erotic??? Meanwhile the boyfriend never even gets his shirt off! (To be truthful though I didn't want to see him shirtless either). I just find this mixture of extreme violence and female nudity kind of disturbing. However "purple..." u seem like a nice reasonable guy so I'll give it to u. But, seriously, you've NEVER seen pointless female nudity in a horror film??? Come on!

I can't say that I've ever seen nudity (male or female) with a point in any movie. I mean, even in Eyes Wide Shut (which was probably about 90% female nudity), it was totally unnecessary for it to be a sex cult. It could have been any cult and the tension and message of the movie would have been exactly the same.

Does my butt make these jeans look fat?

reply

Well nudity WAS necessary for the plot in "The Crying Game" so you could understand what exactly was going on.

reply

LOL, I've never seen it. I take it I would be thoroughly confused if I were to watch it on Bravo or LOGO.

Does my butt make these jeans look fat?

reply

LOL--Maybe not. From what I heard you see it briefly. It's needed to explain the plot twist.

Not that anyone cares about this specific point in july 2013, but i disagree. The fact that the cult in Eyes Wide Shut was a "sex cult" was significant for the purpose of the film. The characters of Kidman and Cruise each had their own flirtations with infidelity; Cruise's dreamy interaction with the sex cult represented his own brush with infidelity.

However, I agree that the nudity wasn't strictly necessary. It would have been possible to tell the same story without any naughty parts visible.

i always thought the whole point to have nudity in horror films (especially when it comes to nude victims) was to make the viewer feel uncomfortable with it. Thats why they're called horror films - they're meant to be horrible.

I agree with you 100% Cee H but a lot of guys seem to find it exciting to see a nude or topless girl chased around by a killer. So--it's exciting to see a nude girl about to be killed or butchered??? I find that attitude disturbing.

reply

I know exactly what you're on about preppy-3, it is very disturbing to imagine people getting their rocks off watching this sort of stuff - they are the proper weirdos that are best left to themselves.
Smile sweetly and say your goodbyes to these types, walk away calmly round the corner then leg it as fast as you can!

These kind of films will always exist and they'll certainly become far more explicit as time goes by, but the hienous attitudes and actions we're talking about existed way before movies started to pave a way into our social fabric. The bibles a good place to start for some truly horrific behavior.

"Get to the chopper!"

reply

LOL. You're right Cee H. These films have existed (and will continue to exist) forever probably. And your way to deal with the sickos who actually like this is correct too. I find it hilarious that when MALE nudity is involved in a horror film (like "Fear No Evil") ther guys get ALL upset. God forbid we have that in a horror film! I'd love to see a horror film where a director has a hunky young nude guy slashed to death--but I'm not holding my breath. And you're right--the Bible is FULL of gruesome murders and death--but it's the Bible so that's OK--and yes, I'm being sarcastic:)

When you two are finished blowing each other, perhaps you would realise this film is in fact, a joke, as are most horror films. The best, darker atmospheric horror films don't have any nudity at all, ones that do are a joke...

the beaver is shown in an attempt to add something to the film to make it better then it is, when in actual fact, it just sucks, and no amount of pussy will make it better.

reply

I find your comment fascinating. I get it that you don't like the film (most people didn't) but saying Argento added nudity to make it better is absurd. I've seen almost all of his other films and he never resorted to crap like that.

reply

It would depend on the film, but in his old age he's just got worse, there's no telling whats going through his mind..

Yeah--It was needed in "Sleepaway Camp" for the twist at the end. Most times u never see it. It's gotten to the point where I'm shocked if there ISN'T any gratuitous female nudity:)

But given the degenracy of the witches and acolytes of the mother wouldn't this be an apt way for some members of the audience to behave? maybe even a homage to Mater Lachrymarium ... I am joking - slightly

If I want female nudity I'll get it on... line.

I'm a member of OWS....we will get MORE nudity in all movies !

Based.

I agree, more is always better. Especially with hot witches. I find it funny when some horror fans complain about nudity, but get all excited about gratuitous gore/violence? Why can't we have both?
