I guess I am desensitised to most violence in movies mainly due to the internet and my job.. I've worked on several "horror" movies and know how alot of the brutality is created.. I've seen fake dead mutalated body parts, dead animals, guys with half their heads blown off etc etc etc.. Most gore movies try to show way too much and end up looking fake as hell, which I'm guessing this film does also.. Subjective violence is always better IMO.. I hear people talk about how violent movies like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is, when really, 99% of the violence is suggested (like when you first see Leatherface club that guy over the head and then slams that sliding door shut).. I mean really the only blood in that entire movie is when the crazy hitchhiker cuts his hand at the beggining.. I remember how scared I was seeing that movie for the first time.. That suggested violence is why they ruined the franchise by remaking it and making it gorey as hell..
Another scene of suggested violence is when Mr. Blonde cuts that guys ear off in Resevoir Dogs.. They don't actually show it, but it left a huge impact on the entire movie..
I dunno, seeing someone slaughter a turtle, to eat it, isn't that bad IMO..
