Social mood: horror gets more horrible?

The horror movie so terrifying it made audiences SICK: Ambulances called to screening at Sundance festival
One viewer was watching a midnight screening of V/H/S last week when he ran from the cinema screen, collapsed and began to suffer seizures, according to the film’s co-writer Simon Barrett.
While he was being treated, his girlfriend also ran into the lobby and began to vomit. The night before, another woman reportedly left in tears because she could not stand the suspense.
Most people are skeptical of these stories and believe it to be a publicity stunt. However, the mid-2000s graphic torture movies continually escalated their content and this movies sounds like it is within the trend. It also coincides with declining social mood.
