last scenes in the collapsed structure were scary as hell.
I enjoy folks who think they get macho points from saying "it didn't scare me!"
I recall a bet years ago regarding the original low budget thriller, "The Night of the Living Dead." The bet specified the guys couldn't talk or joke around, both would remain in the room, and that this would occur late at night.
We went in several times to observe them: they were scared to shit!
Now, BW may not be high art but it brought the genre back to center, away from all the dumb ass special effects, excessive gore, and "GOTCHA!" scares. BW worked on your brain which, gritsman, is why you may not have been affected. :-()
