Oh, true. Anything by Takashi Miike will definitely be filled with over the top gore.
Indeed. I don't watch that kind. For some reason I like lower budget, and few larger budget, 70's horror movies of the psychological/spiritual variety though some of the slasher variety are good. Something about that era is good for a lot of movies. Gritty, harsh, etc. Italian Giallos can be really good also.
