Read my post: I am attacking the genre. No, and I haven't seen "Hostel,"

either, because I don't like torture films. I also don't like terminal disease/serious injury films.
My problem with the latter type, to pick just one, is that it's impossible NOT to feel pity for a quadraplegic, brain-damaged, AIDs-ravaged, or otherwise deeply injured or ill person.
What more is there to say that can be original enough to overcome these conditions? Nothing.
The only course open is to show brave human forebearance attempting to overcome.
There's a word for that and it's melodrama.
I like some melodrama but not of that sort.
You may watch "Rainman" and all the other similar films. I find them boring, trite, and self-serving.
