  ...it's the end scene that's horrific - everything builds up to that.
  What makes it horrific is that we sympathize with the freaks throughout the film and are then asked to condone the end scene, on their behalf.

    Try the end of Housekeeper, when the woman sez to Jean-Pierre Bacri: "Your daughter is beautiful". Of course only Patrick and the members of his Old Fart party can truly understand that.

    That sudden realization that life is gone is perhaps the biggest horror one can imagine.

      I remember the line. Being the optimist, I would simply smile at all the fun I was having. Evertime I see Nicholson, he is smiling. He may know something we do not.

        That of course was a tongue-in-cheek post. But of course the discomfort there was not the age, it was being foolish.

        Horror is what affects us. In The Notebook the scenes of dimentia are quite real, and have power of affecting you, even though the movie is not really a horror flick.

          If we were to assign a flavor to HIS taste... what would that be?

          I suspect that would make him wish for some Grey Poupon!

              Three years of opening doors for ladies, is my verdict!

              Who knows, it might become his second nature!

  It's kind of a horror movie. Remember the freaks chasing down the
  evil blonde babe? They turn her into a chicken/person/evil blond
  babe. Regards,
