This isn't a complaint at all, just curious as to what you guys think about this particular subject. I say no, unless it's intregal to the storyline. In Friday the 13th films and other's of the slasher genre, it's absolutely cliche'. If history teaches us anything in this matter, it tells us it's quite frankly possible to have a filmwithout the aforementioned elements if you try hard enough and have a GOOD STORYLINE. What films didn't have sex or nudity that were well made:
Dog Soldiers
The Descent
Event Horizon
The Ring
The Exorcist
The Omen
Pet Semetary
Alien
Evil Dead I & II
That's ten of them right there and they're some of the best ones. What makes them so good? An actual story, believable characters, a plot and genuine scares. No nudity or sex. Although there was some of these elements in Hammer films, I didn't believe for one second that was what was driving the story in many places and was just incidental. Due to their very nature, I say only Vampire movies can really use this plot tool and get away with it, but even then, there's a point where it's unnecessary.
