I definitely agree that the film is absolutely brilliant and when I watched it I was absolutely captivated. It is an all-round amazing film. I also agree that Mia Farrow's performance was excellent; she definitely deserved any awards she won or was nominated for. To me, she seemed like a genuine person and not just a movie character. I completely understand all the arguments presented here. I simply never regarded the film as scary. Of course, I have Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism), so sympathy/empathy have always been difficult concepts for me. Ultimately, I understand why some of you think it is scary; I simply never thought of it as such.
