I haven't seen secret window, but I have seen a lot of movies lately with dead animals in them.

Global Paw · 08-08-2004, 07:37 PM

how where they shown? were they killed on screen?

In Secret Window you don't see the dog get killed but you see it once it's dead, killed with a scew driver. In Butterfly Effect you don't see the dog get killed or once it's dead but you know what happened and see the scenes leading up to it, it's kids who do it.

I started watching Butterfly Effect - Didn't get through it. Watched The Village the other day.. coulda done without the shots of dead animals. Other than that, I liked the movie, was different LOL. Don't see why the movie people feel the need to have to show animals dead or dying.

I always feel uncomfortable when I see animals being mistreated or killed in movies or on TV. I think most often that including these secnes is unnecessary. It bothers me.

Butterfly Effect- it may be in the director cut but they do show the dead burned animal when ashton opens the bag later...but like I said I Think its only the directors cut....

the screen version they just allude to it..

Secret Window they bluntly show a dog stabbed with a screwdriver....its short but its shown..

in the village there are a few scenes of furless dead animals.... very disturbing.... but at least they didnt show them being killed

Seeing them skinned and bloody is bad enough. UGH! ah well, I did like the movie all in all. I like something that turns out not quite what you'd expect.

stardust · 08-09-2004, 12:27 PM

i liked it too... wasnt anything i was expecting.. which is exactly why my boyfriend didnt like it LMAO

Pugdawg1 · 08-09-2004, 01:52 PM

I want to go see what is it.. Alien vs. Predator? A nice nonviolent family movie.
