Long ago I developed the simple technique - I just tell myself this is plastic, red paint and fake wounds.
As she started with the needles, I immediately told myself the finger looked too plastic, and the emotion meter dropped right away.
I am not kidding you.
I developed that "skill" many years ago after the scalping scene in the Salo caused me to close my eyes for a moment - I didn't know I was "that delicate" until then.
So as I watched the Imprint, the horror simply did not materialize, it was all too fake, poorly done, in fact... so - boring.
Now, some scenes in M are truly horrifying in my book, so I don't like watching it. Of course there it is done without plastic and red paint, which makes it so much more piercing and gripping. I think I mentioned before that I consider the open door shot easily the most horrific scene in the movies that I have seen. It is stuff from a REAL nightmare.
