I don't think I want to go see this now :(

I'm such a wuss.

I think as horrors go, the thing, is king :P

I enjoyed the first two, they weren't too extreme. I'll still watch it, just doubt I'll go to the cinema - it's very easy to make me jump and I hate jumping in Cinemas, feel like a right wuss...

Is that the bit when the guy gets the umbrella in the balls? :D

That singing in the rain part was pretty funny.....

Clockwork Orange isn't disturbing ... it just caused a lot of controversy when it was released ...

a) because it kind of glorifies rape, violence and crime

and

b) some people decided to 'copycat' the film, so Stanley Kubrick withdrew it to save getting it in the neck from the torch igniting public.

Is this movie more or less disturbing than A clockwork Orange which I was told was disturbing but was actually as tame as a cuddly kitten :)

Heh, some gangster movie where a guy gets rogered to death with a pool cue.

Owie. :D

Y'know it's funny what makes you squeamish. That film, though sick, didn't really make me squirm all that much.

Yet something like Jaws where that guy gets bit in half on the boat ... or the axe in the chest scene in the shining ... *shudders*

I think the worst thing for making me feel that way ever was in the film Gangster No.1, where it shows some guy getting hacked up with an axe .. but it shows it from the victims point of view. Made me feel sick.

Also .. 28 days later where that girl hacks up her partner with a Machete ... "ARE YOU BITTEN??" ... yeck ...

Not that bad as far as I'm concerned. Seen worse in Romero stuff and some of the Hellraiser movies.

You won't like it though Bullet.

As long as it isn't people getting their veins yanked out of their bodies I'm not really squeamish about it. Funnily enough the worst veins thing I can remember is from a Nightmare on Elmstreet movie. :D

Master of puppets...

I enjoyed it for the most part, would watch it again I think, though the ending was a bit far fetched. Pretty good story though - plenty of flashbacks to the earlier films.

I've only seen the first film before this and it's a similar thing ... truck loads of horrible deaths you see coming a mile off, so it's not really one to make you jump. Can't see why people fainted, think that's a hype stunt or an exaggeration ... I think the film Final Destination 3 made me jump and squirm more.

The gore I thought, apart from the odd occasion I won't mention (see for yourself :P), was kept to a low level (considering it's an 18) through quick camera cuts. A lot of it is left to the imagination.

Good though, might grab the trilogy when it appears on DVD.

Now to see the second one which I missed ....
