Yeah Exit to Eden was horrifying, because the original book (which I read during a phase of "I like Anne Rice, why don't I read everything she's published?") deserves better. No, it's not a fabulous book, but it deserves better than that movie.

--Pulp Fiction: the rape scene, the adrenaline shot
|
I could deal with the rape scene, but I remember the shot REALLY squicked me.
Even worse, I saw it at The Ritz (an artsy-foreign film theater in Philadelphia)..... and.. I came out.. somewhat subdued as I tried to absorb it all... and... BOOM! I met the eyes of an econ professor from the college I worked at!! It was soooo weird seeing such a nasty movie and then knowing I saw it with this guy who was always so reserved and professional. (He probably the same about me!)
I don't watch a lot of "shocking" films generally.. my tastes run toward comedy (tho I don't mind a bit of "low" humor). The one movie I watched that REALLY gave me the willies was Quills. I couldn't sleep one night and I had this disk but I hadn't watched it yet, and Michael Caine really creeped me out. I think I would have been OK if I hadn't been watching at 2 AM.
