Today's Horror: Frightfest or Torture Porn?

Fear House DVD

Before Lifesize decided to invest in an Indie horror production last year, our biggest concern was that the film be a real movie and not just a series of torture scenes, a la the SAW franchise. Classic horror films used storytelling, music, cinematography and great acting performances to create suspense and ultimately frighten the audience. Unfortuntately, recent years have brought forth an onslaught of lazy horror - with shocking imagery and gluttonous gore taking over. That's why we're excited and proud to be releasing FEAR HOUSE in April - a true throw back to the old view of making great horror films.

Don't worry, there's still plenty of gore for the bloodthirsty fans, but the film is much more than that. As Videoscope Magazine said, it's "A disturbing new twist on the haunted house film. FEAR HOUSE delivers!"

As always, we're curious to hear your thoughts about this phenomenon -

Do you prefer the new style or the old style? Should there be a new "genre" for today's "torture porn" films? Do you even agree with my opinion that there's been a change? Leave a comment below.
