I never saw the movie, but I think I read the book as a teenager and liked it. I used to love horror! I thought of it as intense character study: finding out what people are like by testing them to destruction.
Then I got older and the world got scarier, and now I have a much lower tolerance for things that genuinely scare or depress me. And yet I still love good TV -- and also love hottie anguished priests. So last year I visited dorinda and we ended up watching the entire first season in a weekend, with her spoiling me for who would live, so that I wasn't under so much tension. Watching it with someone else, I could do! (And it is fabulous.)
But then I came home and tried four times to watch the second season on my own (it's not my partner's thing), and couldn't do it. I'd get a couple of minutes into the season premiere, and just have so much clenching tension in my gut I had to stop. But then I told my tale of woe to Dorinda and she spoiled me just the right amount for the second season, and at Escapade I wasn't alone and a group of us watched the first five episodes. And now I cannot wait until I can find time to finish the season, because OMG.
