RE: Piglet (film): Absolutely awful... I can't believe it was even made
Horror isn't really my genre... They're either too predictable (which makes them annoying or laughable) or try to be too gory (e.g. the Saw franchise).
Gore for the sake of gore when it is done in a humorous and intentionally over-the-top fashion such as the ending of "the Substance" or basically anything "Evil Dead" related is fine, and the gore in "Saw" was nice and really well-executed until they made 37 of them. Horror is a tough genre to pull off in an innovative and interesting way. "Smile" did a pretty good job of it.
It's been a long time since I watched any of them but I vaguely recall enjoying 1 and 2 but when it came to Saw 3, it went too far.
