Ew...I saw that movie. It was icky! But then, anything where there's a feeling of being trapped bothers me...I usually leave the room during movies at parts like that. Even though I like "The Great Escape", parts of it disturb me greatly!

I haven't read any Steven King, though. Horror just isn't my cup o' tea (and neither is his writing style).

He is VERY graphic in all of his descriptions. Not just the gory parts either.

You have to be the type of person who isn't bothered by it to really enjoy it as leisurely reading or watching. I watch a lot of forensic type shows on television, so gore doesn't bother me at all, unless kids are involved. Then, I get sick.

"Horror just isn't my cup o' tea"

I don't like it at all either and never watch or read it. But I can see where Peter Jackson's experience with it helped him with FOTR, with all its monsters and spooky stuff.

There is only the one scene that I just can't watch in Misery.... [shudder]

I like Kathy Bates as an actress.... Loved her in the adaptation of Delores Claiborne too..

Some of Steven Kings stuff is actually not gory... Delores Claiborne isn't gory, neither is Tommyknockers or Thinner. I don't like gore either. (either one! ;~D)

Try those if you ever get the inkling to try one. DC and Thinner are really short stories.
