@ike @dramypsyd The classic, enduring horror movies have that sort of thing, though often about different topics. For example, Alien is *strongly* anti-capitalist. It’s not even subtext. “Priority One. Insure return of organism for analysis. All other considerations secondary. Crew expendable.” is literally text on a screen in the movie. The horror comes from the idea that some faceless corporation decided to risk their lives without even telling them.
I’m not personally a fan of the torture porn aspects of Saw. In the “show people who they really are” subgenre, I prefer The Thing.
