The Part with the boy and the hyenas..SPOILERS...


I have seen many, many horror films, including all of the Exorcist movies (the orginal is still the best,) and I am a huge fan of horror. But, I have never once felt physically ill after watching a scene, like I did after seeing that scene where that poor little boy, James, was ripped to shreds by the hyenas. Now, I know the Exorcist, and I knew what to expect from a movie like this one, but didn't anyone else think that scene went on a bit too long? And, even when Merrin and some guys got out there, they all stood around while the boy was being ripped to shreds! I thought at least once Merrin got the gun, he'd put the kid out of his misery, but he didn't; they all just kept shooting and missing until the hyenas finally dragged the almost dead, yet still screaming child away. That scene went on for too long in my opinion...

Yeah it really did not need to last that long.

The hyenas were so CGI, all I could do was laugh... "are you serious?" was all I could think!

Yeah it was really brutal and I don't enjoy watching it. I gotta give kudos to the kid though, he really sold that scene.

Don't feed the troll. Instead, pray for him! ;-)

You're gonna need a bigger boat.
