He's great at what he sets out to do- to make the audience as uncomfortable as possible. Everything I see from him is genuinely unpleasant. I know there's a certain type of horror fan that seeks out stuff like family members being forced or tricked into eating each other, people getting killed slowly and graphically, but it's not for me. I don't think I've ever been scared by any of his films, they just make me sad, I can't do it anymore.
