All I have to say is ......... one heck of a scary, gory, gory, G-O-R-Y movie!!!! My sister-in-law (TC's sister) is visiting this weekend. Since she and I both love horror movies (and TC doesn't), she and I watched it at the theater tonight! OMG!!!! Loved every minute of it!

I liked it. The only thing that bugged me was the excessive use of the F word in the first part of the film. Call me old-fashioned at only 24, but I don't like it! I kept whispering that to my husband, who eventually snapped back, "I didn't mean to come on a date with my mother!!!"

Swear words indicate a lack of imagination. To form thoughts and express them in complete sentences takes brains. It takes none at all to say F#%!

I suppose that's why I love the clever scripts of old Hollywood so much. The witty scripts like The Philadelphia Story or The Thin Man. Since they couldn't use any bad language back then, they had to use good, clever English.

They assume that you are smart enough to appreciate subtlety and get the references.

I agree! Classic Hollywood had witty dialogue which seems to be missing in a LOT of contemporary movies. And, IMO, subtlety was nice. Classic cinema wasn't so overt and outrageous, with sex all over the screen and no plotline.

I MUST agree that Classic cinema is -- by far -- the BEST! There are many thing I watch from present-day, and I must say I LOVE horror movies! But Classics are the best!!!! ;D

When I was young(see talking old,don't feel it)I felt the same way. Don't mind some words,but that just makes ME feel less of the actor,story,etc. Especially if it's over and over again. No need for that. There's ALOT of good movies out there,if they just lighten up on the "Bad"words. Glad to know some people still feel that way.

Angie I am glad to see that in your youth you know the difference in good movies and a bad film with fowl language. Well I guess I can't say the movie was bad but I can say I think it is bad to use so much fowl language.
