Answer 3

To compete, slasher movies have to get more and more violent. It is sad that we as a society are getting so used to these images that they dont bother us anymore

Answer 4

Some people just go over board in movies. I hate that. It sometimes ruins the movie for me.

Answer 5

GOD STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS. ITS A GODDAMN MOVIE, to make it look gory? or for the movies purpose to make others fear the killer in the movie, that he can do worse  

Answer 6

im just guessing that it ups the suspence

Answer 7

For the gore/shock value

Answer 8

idk y not

Answer 9

In general, a screen writer is trying to convince the audience that the killer is genuinely psychotic. Yes he came in to the room and cut the woman's throat, but to prove he is truly psychotic, he went the extra step in cutting apart the torso. The extra unneeded violence is what makes the character. It is usually dont vissually like that.

Answer 10

because its hollywood and they get paid to scare you so i think the more blood they show the more the movie gets remembered like saw ,helloween, chainsaw massecer

Answer 11

More entertaining, i suppose. People get really into gore and stuff in these kinds of movies.

Answer 12

cause it's a horror movie and the point is to make the people horrified terrefied, petrified so scared that they cry! sorry that was a little much but they have to make it gory and disgusting

Answer 13

They're called sadistic psychopaths. It is thought that murder with a knife has sexual connotations. That and it looks horrifying on film

Answer 14

slahes her throat to silence & kill her, slashes her stomach because he is a disorganized, ooportunistic psychopathic killer who gets adrenalin rush from slashing, no matter whether she is still alive or not.

Unfortunately, this doesn't happen just in movies.  Many killers continue to inflict injury and assault on a body past the moment of death.  It is means of a release for them.

Answer 15

throat and stomach are soft places on the body.  Its a personal space where we usually only allow those that we are most close to and most intimate touch.  If they can cause damage to those areas it creates more horror in the audiance.

Answer 16

cause people watch those types of movies for the gore so they're giving it to you

Answer 17

dramatic effects  

Answer 18

It's just for show dude.

Answer 19

Iam Guessing he likes to slash people

Answer 20

and idk. in real life killers [most of them] kill the way they do kuz its sum problem in their head. that wasnt meant to sound mean srry if it did :(

Answer 21

Cuz he's ****** up like that.

That's his fetish...Or maybe she was bulemic and he's one of THOSE killers.

Answer 22

so its more gorey and creepy i guess!  

Answer 23

They do this because they know that there are many really sick people in the audiences who love lots of gore. There are a lot of film directors and studio magnates who are obviously very sick people indeed.
