All this made the film seem almost campy to me.
AAC was the complete opposite. Real characters, better acting = powerful film that never seems to have scenes there just for shock value, as with TGND (you know what scene I'm talking about!). Anyway.,... just one person's opinion. :)

I diffenetly see where you are coming from. And I kinda agree to a certain extent. Although terrible acting, I guess I see TGND more disturbing from some of the scenes we are shown. It made me cringe more.....
However, overall, AAC was a much more, as you say, powerful film and leaved me with a chilling feeling afterwards.
Im in for a comedy tonight folks. Think I'm gonna throw on
