Horror depends on the individual

There is rape, murder and brutality in the film, which was for its time, got the film band

People now look for something more graphic

I like the film and would not say it was a pure horror film, but it is closer to a horror movie than anything other genre

And as for me, I am one of the worlds biggest film and book junkies in the world. I simply can't get enough of either.
And as for the lack of readers, i find it rather depressing.

the film, although it is Kubrick's vision, is extremely similar to the book. most of the lines said are taken straight from its pages.

and I like the movie, even though I don't want to.

everyone has their own opinion - but i always want to know when someone says they thought a classic film was bad - what their reasoning for it is ..

I like this movie a lot more than the book. Very cartoonish and sleazy. Almost reminds me of a Manga film or perhaps one of those horrible Carry On movies on acid. In my top 3 Kubrick films, second only to Dr Strangelove.

I saw about 10 min of this on TV.

Alex was acted awesomely [I know the actors name, dunno how to spell it], but I have no intention of seeing the rest of this anytime soon. Maybe in a few years Ill check it out....
