Anyone else hate movies where people get eaten alive?
I can handle any other kind of violence on the planet but the moment someone gets eaten by an animal/monster it just makes me uncomfortable as ♥♥♥♥. I barely made it through Jurassic World and it's a movie I never want to see again. I skipped the new Kong movie. I refuse to ever watch an Alien film, no matter how good they are.

Normally I'd say I'm a massive ♥♥♥♥♥ but I can handle any other kind of gore and violence. There's just something about people getting eaten that's too much.

I like when people get eaten, I like to see the insides getting ripped out and the blood and other fluids everywhere. Yummy

I hate jumpscares, I don't mind gore.
Usually the movies that show people getting eaten alive aren't as gory as they should be.
People get swallowed whole.
They need to be way worse to be honest like come on, we're past the 80's already!

I'm a gorehound so I can't say it bothers me.
Some violence bothers people more then others. Me myself when I see something violent or hear about something violent I say to myself if I was there I could of helped them.
I don't particularly want bad things to happen to people. I just want to watch when they do.
It's not a hatred of violence. I don't mind blood or gore in any amount. It's just the act of consumption that I hate. Even if the monster just throws the guy or smashes him I'm fine, but the moment he eats him I can't stand it.
I imagine it's a rather common fear. As living organisms, we've had hundreds of millions of years to develop it.

As long as the monster has the basic decency to chew, it's all fine. But getting swallowed alive to suffocate in a living sack of acid is one of the worst ways to go in my mind. I found the Sarlacc from Star Wars ten times more disturbing than any Saw trap (I mean really, couldn't Luke just slice those poor slave guards with his lightsaber instead of gleefully pushing them into a literal hellhole?).

I don't mind it at all though; movies are supposed to make you experience tension and fear, amongst other things.
the only thing I hate in movies is when they drag out a 20 minute heart to heart scene while satan is literally outside

I do.

Not really because usually it's basically cartoon violence. People's deaths happen quickly and there's very little build-up and almost no weight to them. They just go for cheap thrills/shock value/jump scares instead of engrossing you in the horror of what's happening. I think this is because studios are more concerned with mass appeal. They're afraid of turning away audiences by showing people really suffering, so they soften everything to the point where you're almost completely disconnected from it.

In weird sort of way, it makes you appreciate the movies where they actually take the time to make you feel the weight and brutality of someone's death. I know it sounds messed up, but trust me when I say that it's more of an appreciation of good film making than anything else.

The mechanical shark is awful. It hasn't aged well. But oh boy, Quint's death still really hits you like a truck. Every time.

Compare:

The whole team dies. It's supposed to be horrifying right? Except it isn't. It's just like I said. Just a brief buildup of tension with the music and some arguing to move the scene along, and then the "payoff" is a bunch of cartoon violence. No weight to any of their deaths. No punch.
Jaws was the one movie where people getting eaten didn't bother me. I know Jurassic World is stupid but it still made me uncomfortable simply because I don't like the basic idea of someone getting eaten. I dunno, maybe I feel like there should always be some sort of corpse left? Then again people getting melted or vaporized usually doesn't bother me too much either.

Jurassic World was like "U know what, let's create these generic security officer just to get eaten alive by a human made dinosour bcuz why not? Dinosours loves meat."
People eaten alive is fine
But ♥♥♥♥ like ripping nails from hands , poking eyes out, cutting tongue, etc bothers me more than instadeath

Popping eyes doesn't bother me and the other 2 are methods of torture rather than ways to kill people so it makes sense they'd be hard to watch.
