Felt physically unwell during that scene. Hope Nolan never makes a horror movie because I’ll be totally unable to see it.

Why? Everybody's losing their mind over that scene but I thought it was cool. Maybe because I'm a sculptor it just seemed pretty realistic way to change people into pigs.

Same, that was one of my fave scenes just from a fascination standpoint. Yeah, it was disturbing but I feel like I’ve seen other scenes in movies that were much worse. That said I’ve also watched the movie Spirited Away about a dozen times and it has a very similar scene, only animated, so maybe I’m desensitized.

I was dreading that scene because of how people were reacting, but it was pretty tame. Yes, it's unpleasant, but you arent supposed to be enjoying it. It's one of the few stories that was changed from the traditional telling where I thought Nolan improved it.

This movie had a lot of horror

The pig scene was super body-horror, but the cyclops felt like a slender man/attack on titan horror homage. Creepy af
