Indeed that IS an extremely disturbing sequence, and the image of Hopper's semi
plowing through the bus is unforgettable.
I would also mention the shattering scene from PET SEMATARY, in which Gage
runs out in front of a truck, and then we see the father screaming in anguish,
and pictures of him cuddling the "baby" are flashed on the screen. I had a
friend become so disturbed by the emotional power of that scene (on first
viewing) that he asked me to turn the tape off. A very underrated film.

In "The Heroic Trio" there's a scene where Wonder Woman fails to save a baby
from accidental injury which leads to death. A lot better than the hero
being invincible and infallible wherever babies and the handicapped are
concerned. Also in that same movie, Thief Catcher must wipe out a cadre of
possessed flesh-eating youngsters.

Didn't see your name at first, and I was saying, "Whah?"
But technically, you didn't die until the third movie.
We are all spirit immortals, but it takes death to reveal this to us.
For me, the first time was enough, as languishing in Hell with the Other
and the Gemini was no honeymoon. I mean, a guy gives it all he's got,
takes on the demon that was tormenting Regan MacNeil, jumps out the
window with the demon in tow... only to slip through the cracks! "Save
Your Servant", indeed. What kind of policing is being done when the
good guy gets dragged into Hell? It took two mortals to rescue me, Bill
K and Father Morning, at the cost of Morning's life (who knows if HE
slipped through the cracks, too? I haven't seen him around up Here
yet...). And that was just the movie. Blatty's book has me already
gone to Glory, and just my body being used. I didn't need rescuing in
the book, just in the movie. I wish people would get their stories
straight, you know? At any rate, I have tracked down Father Lankester
Merrin (yes, he's up Here, too, I guess the cracks were too narrow to
admit him, some people have all the luck), and he is helping me to
understand what happened, and why, the first two times I died. One day
I hope to understand completely. Until then, I consider my faith
partially restored, which is a damn site better than what I was going
through from the period of my Mother's death (yes, she's up Here as
well) to the final moments in Regan's room. It's been an interesting
life, death, death, and afterlife. Dominus Vobiscum, K. Cozy.

Edgar Malroy's essay "Why Religions are lile Cereal's", written for Sophia
Alderson, argued that Christianity is Broadly like like Cornflakes,
traditional out of touch and falling in sales; Catholicism is cornflakres with
added sugar; Protestantism comes in those individual packets; and Evangelical
Christianity is just more expensive.
(In a footnote Edgar Malroy suggested that the David Koresh Waco Sect was like
one of those individual cornflakes you find which has been over cooked.)
Judaism is like All-Bran, dull. Islam is like Bran Flakes, sharing a lot of
heritage with Judaism and Christianity but being a little harder to swallow.
Hinduism is like musli, which looks different but it too in time becomes
boring. Buddhism is like Porridge again somewhat different to the others but
there is not a whole lot in it.
New Age religions, argued Edgar Malroy, are like Fruit and Fibre, because of
their many ingreedients. Raisins: palm readings, hazelnuts: tarot cards, dried
coconuts: horoscopes, currants: pyramid powers; and apples: numerology etc.
etc.
Another thing Edgar Malroy argued in "Why Religions are like Cereals" was that
all religions are essentially the same.
Edgar Malroy said in "Why Religions are like Cereal" that he preffered toast.

That reminds me of a movie called Born American. Some Americans get
stuck in Russia, and some of them die. I forget how old they were, but
I think they were teens. Been a helluva long time since I saw the
movie, and I was about 7 at the time, so pardon my bad memory.

That girl was incredibly disturbing. I saw that movie with a friend at
the theater, and we covered our eyes every time that sick sister came on
screen. Very creepy.

I know, Im always surprised to hear such disagreement from people, when I say
that Pet Sematary is definitely one of the best Stephen King adaptions yet.
There are many scenes in it that are deeply disturbing:
* in the theatre, the sound of the trucks going past at high speeds was
nerve-shattering. Really gave you a feeling of how it would feel to live in a
house next to such a freeway.
* the accident victim being brought into the ER with his brains hanging
out...and the way he suddenly awakens and whispers a warning to the horrified
doctor.
* when the victim comes back from the dead and takes the Doc out to the Pet
Sematary, and says "this is the place where the dead speak....but dont go to
the place where the dead.....WALK....." and begins to levitate off the ground.
* the afforementioned death of the little boy, which choked me up when I
watched it in the theatre.
* when the kid comes back as a little zombie, and the way that the father
sticks the hypo into his neck,and he screams evilly, then staggers away, saying
delicately "...no fair!" before he collapses in final death.
The other King film that I thought was vastly underrated was THINNER....gotta
love those gypsies.....

King films can be okay, as long as you haven't read the book... if you
have, then you can see how much they fucked with it, and you'll be
disappointed.
Probably some of the best King adaptations are the ones that were "made
for tv" movies...
It and The Stand spring to mind... of course, they're utter shit
compared to the books (which I think are two of King's best), but just
seen as themselves, they're quite entertaining...
