Yeah, if it had been too disgusting it would have taken away from the scariness of the world the story takes place in. I mean, I would still be scared a bit, but it wouldn't be for the same reasons.
I go to the theatres more now than I used to because I don't want to be that person who didn't see something until like 6 months later when no one remembers it or wants to talk about it. Ahh, peer pressure.
