Decades of amateur film critics have made people think blatant sexual fan service in horror films is somehow a disservice when imho it serves the same thematic role as how in those old renaissance oil paintings they’d paint a bunch of fresh fruit next to a skull
Thematic and aesthetic contrast! The whiplash you can get from having genuine titillation interrupted by gruesome violence and death is a feature! Not a bug!
Let some hot girl with nice tits take off her shirt before getting hacked to death with an ax. Let the beefcake in short shorts show some shaft before getting drowned in a lake. Have a “pointless sex scene” then show off the gnarliest gore fx the team could dream up. That shit was GOOD.
