Do you want low budget deaths or truly startling yet not disgusting deaths, or do you want over the top gross out?

EDIT: Fuck it, I can't wait.

My first short film ever, had a scene where a son commits suicide and the camera is sitting level, and still without moving showing nothing above the knees. It's sitting on a bed facing the door of the bedroom which is slightly open showing a sliver of a living room You see him walk into the living room, hear him, see him pass by the sliver and sit on the couch for a few minutes (it's kind of Gus Van Sant) and he stands and goes to the bathroom, and opens the door to come in (the film begins with the same shot, but when someone finds him so you know it's coming; the anticipation makes you feel sick). He stands in the corner behind the door and ends up slitting his wrists but you can't see it happen, you just hear him whimpering and the blood dripping. It's actually torturous to watch.

I always felt that would translate really well to a horror film. You can see someone standing behind the door, shins down, and see the person out in living room, have it last a painfully long time, and then when she/he walks into the room have the person behind the door kill then, and watch the person shudder and hear them cough and watch the blood slowly. It's super disturbing... much worse then actually seeing it. Thinking about it makes me feel gross.
