I heard something in the paper some time ago that The Exorcist prequel had been rejected by the studio on the grounds that "it wasn't gratuitous enough" and so the makers were trying to inject a little more gore to secure a release. Why???? What exactly is it that is so frightening about watching someone getting hacked and stabbed to death in a rainbow of blood and guts? Am I the only one who thinks true horror lies in that which you don't see - What made TCM so darned unsettling was in the image suggestion of sick brutality, the torture of being kept alive. Not that I should judge too quickly but what the **** is Michael Bay doing involved in the remake? He knows about as much about the genre as Chris Columbus does about French Arthouse.
