The number of people who see movies in a theater is still a niche market. @M DIDDY I agree with your last post, except about the money part. They keep making so many crappy horror/slasher/torture porn movies that there seems to be at least 2 per month released. Someone has to be making money on them to keep financing this crap. As I said in the previous post I am a Sci-fi guy, and I proclaim it happily. Lots of topics they post about on TMB I could care less about, and without the question in the original article piquing my curiousity as to what the horror fans had to say, I wouldn't have even started posting on this thread. I rarely check out horror movies, because they mostly suck. @OMAR Well said, sir. @GERMINATRIX

Direct to DVD usually makes films more money than they would if they went to theaters. Why do you think they still make Steven Seagal films? Case in point. Bloodraine, Uwe Boll's "genius" film. Straight to DVD, made enough money to warrant a sequel. But of course a widely plugged film like this going straight to DVD after all the bruaha is never good news because it might very well reflect the quality of the product. M Diddy.

Maybe try READING the rules once in awhile. And even if he id choose to delete it just cause he doesn't like you, so what? This is the internet, not a democracy. They can delete whatever they want, for whatever reason they want because it's THEIR website and they cna do what they want with it, end of story.

I'm a big fan of Barker's short story, the director and of course Vinnie Jones. That doesn't mean that the combination automatically means it'll be a winner. I'll still see it for sure; probably the second that it's out in the DVD store. However, I'm still going to be open to the fact that it may have ended up as a bad movie.

There are weirdos in the world who call themselves Furries. My point is... In the grand scheme of things and being that I'm sure John is not running this site for charity, an overwhelming majority of people would not care about this type of movie. If you like very unpopular subgenres, there is no reason to get defensive over it. Enjoy what you like. Just realize that the subgenre is not a money maker and on a whole, it is never reviewed well.

Your figure is even more ridiculous. 310 million people in america. Not every one of them is cabable or able to watch movies. As I said, a figure plucked out the air using flawed logic to make a flawed point. Mykrantz

I figured you might try and justify it that way

Figuring in

- People not old enough to be able to see rated movies
- People not old enough to see movies full stop
- People who can’t watch movies because of illness or infirmity
- People who live in poverty and thus cannot afford to see movies
- People who are not interested in any movies
- People without easy access to cinemas
- People who get discounted tickets
- People who download the movie for illegalz.
