Weird and shit .......

Council estate juveniles committing violent crime, houses being invaded with the occupants at home and ransacked, abuse of women........sounds more like a documentary of Britain 2017

Much preferred the book over the film, I think the film loses the point but then Kubrick did the same thing with the Shining... Also I heard the film is based on the American version of the novel that

Wasn't it banned for a long time.

It wasnt banned, Kubrick removed its release in the u.k. until after his death. It was re-released the year after he died. He didnt live far from me.

 

Yarbles! the books not gibberish.

 

I read the book a few times before I eventually got hold of a copy of the video, book is miles better. & id recommend it to anyone who's not seen the film.

Irreversible makes that film look tame

 

Never really thought much of the book, studied it at school, read an Irvine Welsh book at the same time that literally made me spew , can't remember its name but there was a scene with a drunk lord, a boy a girl and a sheep ....you can figure the rest

Let's be honest all films that were classed as shocking back in the day are massively underwhelming when watched nowadays.

Most of them but I think the exorcist still holds its own...watched that for the first time when I was 13...shit me up big time Edited by daveee88

My mother won't watch it again to this day, she was about that age when she watched it. She had to get in bed with my grandmother for the night because she was that scared, weren't priests trying to stop people from going to watch it?

Theirs a few deleted scenes loitering on the internet, 1 that sticks out is Reagan in the upside down crab position coming backwards down the stairs, then just saying hello, very weird.

Theirs also a new documentary not long out on the priest the film is meant to be based upon, a real life exorcist.

Funny I was gonna mention Irreversible earlier in the thread.......only film I've ever had to fast forward through a scene because it was so uncomfortable to watch.....A Clockwork Orange is daytime tv in comparison...haha

 

American Psycho is hardcore to read!

I thought that scene was in the original? It freaked me out rotten the first time I saw it and that was with plenty of anticipation. I can't imagine what it would have been like for a young kid watching it back in the early 70's.
