And they are trying to take the child-gore crown from Von Trier. Don't ask me what I did in the auditorium for just the last few minutes. But those were enough to convince me that I don't want to watch that film. And frankly it made me scared to watch this film. But then seeing Destry Allyn Spielberg's Please Don't Feed The Children and how she dealt with a similar subject matter, I relaxed a bit. Giving myself a chance with Weapons.
