they mainly thought it was hilarious, especially when people were swearing and crying.
WTF? I don't even vaguely get this. I mean, I do kind of enjoy when the demon argues with the priests (same reason I root for cannibals), but this seems to be stemming from like the ol' "oh I'm so jaded by Cannibal Holocaust, now gore is just funny" mentality. Which I don't really get when people are proud of that. Not that I think their souls are ruined or anything, more just like "you're missing out on a lot of subtext if that's all you can focus on."
