Breaking the Taboos:

4.2. Performance vs. Authenticity in Sex

1. Practical effects age better than CGI. The gut-punch of Maniac looks more real than most digital blood.
2. Audiences want to be challenged. A "happy ending" is a lie. The 1980 taboo films often end with ambiguity or the villain winning.
3. The camera is a weapon. The POV shot invented by Cannibal Holocaust is now standard in thrillers.
