not just me then. i was too afraid to go to the toilet by myself for a week after seeing it.
i was afraid of *what might be*. that i might either see, or imagine, something awful, and that i might not know which was happenning, and that the horrible things that your brain fills in might be real. you know that moment when you wake up at night, and for a second the vacuum cleaner is a man with entrails in his mouth? i had that. all the time.
i later watched it on DVD at home, and it had nothing like the same effect, though. when we tried it on the projector at home recently it was quite effective again. it loses something totally essential in scale, i think.
oh, phew.
