No, just felt a bit insulted that someone thought I would be entertained by seeing a child shot through the eye, turned my stomach... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Don’t think I will watch Soldier Blue then. Think I can vaguely remember it, did it have a Native Indian massacre in it, quite controversial at the time? The Changling is another good one with George C Scott in it I think. Quite scary. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Fair comment mate. Thing is nowadays it's open season and anything goes with todays films. Think of 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'We Were Soldiers'. The worst Iv'e seen was Mel Gibsons film 'The Passion of the Christ'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Yes, I saw The Changeling some years ago and it was good. George C Scott always gives a good performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRS B 511 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I can remember being terrified as a child by a film called The Red House with Edward G Robinson about a house in the middle of a wood which was all overgrown and everyone was scared to go near it. I would have only been about 6 or 7. I had the chance to watch it again about 4 years ago and now I realise what the plot was all about it made far more sense. Still scared though in my 60’s !

woody 552 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Really enjoying the repeats of In sickness and in health on cable. Never thought they would show that again for fear of upsetting the politically correct brigade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Just finished watching All The Light We Cannot See on Netflix. A 4 part series based on the book of the same title. It was excellent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Did anyone see ‘Intruder: He’s Watching You from Within’ on Channel 5 on Monday night, 8th April? It was about a sadistic predator nicknamed ‘The Fox’ who caused absolute terror in the Beds, Bucks and Herts area, particularly around Leighton Buzzard where we were living at the time, in 1984. We were really first alerted to how serious the situation was when we woke one morning to hear a police helicopter circling over our house. My husband decided to take the dog a walk on the fields out the back of our garden and found dozens of police surrounding a wood, only 200m from us. They didn’t find the Fox in there! Shortly later we had friends come for the weekend, we went out for dinner and on returning home we shut four car doors …..bang, bang, bang, bang and within 5 minutes there was a knock on the door! At midnight! Scary or what?!! I peeked out of the window to see several armed police outside. We let them in because they insisted on searching the house, fortunately they didn’t find the Fox but we then had Police camping out in our garden overnight for a few weeks which was quite comforting! It was a hot summer, no one dare leave a window open, burglar alarm companies made a killing, everyone we knew slept with a weapon of some sort under the bed (we had a crowbar) and the Police were only stopping people to see if they happened to have a shotgun in the boot, you could have been legless and got away with it! Anyway, we enjoyed the programme cos we were there, but it even scared me 40 years later, just remembering …….. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It had a big walled garden but the best apple orchard, just right for scrumping. Got caught by the local plod who said if I catch you scrumping here again I'll be telling your dad and grandad. The ultimate deterrent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
