Okay, fine. Then call it the premise which I don't want to get involved in.  I haven't seen Silence of the Lambs either, and I know it isn't gory, but...meh. I'd rather not find myself emotionally distressed over a movie.  Again, I applaud the branching out of the catalog, and I'm glad that a bunch of you will be enjoying this--it's just not for me.

I wouldn't call Silence of the Lambs gory.  The most disgusting part is when that guy throws his jism on her.

You know, I've seen Saw several times (though, I could never actually speak that statement without tripping over my own tongue). Maybe I'm crazy or something, but I didn't really find it that grisly. Most of the shots with all the gore are shot so dark and murky most of what's going on is left in your imagination. The movie, while it certainly is violent, is no Cannibal Holocaust. It's not even as gruesome as Hostel. I guess this says more about me than it says about people who get squeamish about these sorts of movies.

I'm with you, so maybe we're both crazy.  The first one, in my opinion, is not the torture porn grotesque horror that people seem to think it is.  The rest of them, well that's certainly debateable.  But maybe I'm just jaded by one too many viewings of Audition or something.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Once you see a woman eat her own vomit, little can shock you any more.

I find Silence a lot more disturbing than Saw. Why, you may ask?

i'm very happy they are doing SAW, but sad Mike isn't coming along... i really wonder whether it's personal issues or just he needs a break, scheduling, etc. 

Horror movies are a main vein of mst3k so i don't know why everyone is so suprised they'd do a SAW type movie.... i actually wished for one like a week ago.   I've read like half the full thread so hope i'm not restating anything...  btw did someone here say they didn't wanna see saw but wanted to see Romero's original zombie movies done? wow...maybe i'm mixing replies in my head

As far as the gore... didn't anyone see 'the incredible melting man' mst3k  .. even though it was edited there was still some stomach churning stuff.... usually inspiring pretty funny reactions from the gang.

When it comes to Hostel and Saw type movies, I think people are more disturbed by what's been dubbed 'torture porn' because of how close it is to reality...  Well when it comes to violence in movies... i believe it should be disturbing, real, and gritty....    It's the pg-13 ultra violent movies that corrupt society if you ask me... people shooting left and right, but nobody dies.. is that reality?  On top of that... most of the reasons i've heard people state for not going to see a movie was something they thought they'd seen implied in the trailer that never even happens onscreen (toe clipping from Hostel).

The original SAW remains just a classic B horror movie for me.... the sequels definitley upped the sadistic factor.  Hostel movies, while very very intense, are really well done if you ask me.

Anyway bravo for choice, but wish Mike was there.  And yeah, keep expanding catalogue with not just recent releases plz.

Neither, really. It's just something that Kevin and Bill wanted to do as part of our new RiffTrax Presents catalogue (or, sub-catalogue).. Although I do know Mike wasn't a fan of the movie.

And yeah, keep expanding catalogue with not just recent releases plz.

[mrbasehart]

TP! While you're here...Are the italicized dates next to the titles in the Rifftrax Presents page their release dates?

[torgosPizza]

Yes. I know there are some catalog areas where they are missing - little bugs on my list I haven't got to yet.

Anything else I can help with?

[Turducken]

Thx for quick response...

Currently watching 'lost' riff for first time as i type...  and rented Saw for tomorrow.

Well if Mike didn't like 'Saw' i wonder if 'Dead Silence' is ever in the running since it's from same director who i really think has a great appreciation for old style horror.   C'mon... puppets, ghosts, big nasty ghost tongues... 'Dead Silence' for reccomendation.   I actually really like the movie, but my most loved are usually the funnier... (LOTR).

Is this the part where i list other stuff i wanna see riffed? ok, quit twisting my arm...

umm, do that one movie where on the poster the guy had a gun!!!

[OmegaR!]

That's obviously what you were referring too right???

and to not veer too off track, looking forward to all the new RiffTrax, can't wait

[Imper1um]

Yes. I know there are some catalog areas where they are missing - little bugs on my list I haven't got to yet.

Yeah, it's May 13 in most parts of the world (if not all of them). Gimme my RT! 

[Smoky]

That makes three of us.

It really is not that gory.   The sequels and other films like Hostel are, but this one really is not that bad.

I saw parts of it on *Sci-Fi* and it was too nasty for me. I'll pass.

[Jonny Jit]

It's odd but I'd never noticed how fluffy and squishy mst3k (and it's spinoffs) fans can be.

Seriously.  Someone politely told me to seek crass humor elsewhere because I was one of the people who wanted the beeps taken out of Revenge of the Sith.  The word fuck was implied, why not just say it.  It's not like saying Voldemort.

On that note, I hate the slasher/horror genre.  It's just stupid.  I don't get grossed out, I know it's fake and looks fake...I just worry about the people who think it up an enjoy it.  I just don't get it.  Be a doctor if you enjoy seeing that shit.

Now, if I can watch it and have other people make fun of it...happy days! 

I saw this movie (no pun intended) and it was OK, but not my thing.  A comedic addition however is very intriguing.  I would also enjoy a few more R rated Rifftrax (though all these "clean" ones have a ton of innuendo in them).

I will watch this tomorrow.
