I like gore but I prefer movies where it is used as a natural extension of telling the story, not as a device to evoke emotions on its own. Most gory movies could do with a lot less gore and a lot better directing, editing and sound/music score.
Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors. No gore at all yet the storytelling puts you on the edge of your seat.
