Why are people attracted to violence?

Agreed. Great film. Really shows how f@cked up we are as a society.

Because we're sick sadistic bastards XD

Italy's shaped like a boot for a reason...so they can stick it up your ass. - Don Vito

Depending on our own upbringing many of us are "hardened" or "desensitized" to 'normal' violence. We see car crashes, a man slapping slapping his wife or beating his kid, R-rated movies on TV, etc., everyday.

Movies like "Saw" and "Hostel" offer some excitement to fans who have already "seen everything". Sure, "SAW" pretty much doesn't even HAVE a plot, but that's not why people are watching it. We need some sort of eye candy in our lives.

It's human nature to be aggressive and I think films like these are a good substitute for REAL violence for those that find a thrill in watching the extreme.

Although many of these films have been deemed "hard to watch", I'll bet there are more people out there that actually like it more than they let on.

I, for one, will take "story" over "gore" any day, and that's why I liked "Murder Collection" better than "August Underground". However, the violence was there in BOTH films.
