    Seriously.
    Me too. I remember being pretty shocked after watching it. It's just so powerful and depressing that it's painful to see. The ending especially got to me.... Brrr.

    Strange. I can't say it affected me as much as many in this thread seem to have let it. I think I felt like it tried to scare me away from drugs way too hard, and as a result, I must have subconsciously blocked the baddest parts from affecting me, sort of making me look at it as pure fuction, just like when the Terminator brutally slaughters all those innocent Sarah Connors.

    I don't feel afraid to watch it again at all, but I won't, because I know how it ends, and it doesn't have much of what would be "replay value" in a game :p.

    I thought it was a good movie, and certainly a testament to how much drugs can ruin your life, but it's hardly a realistic warning. The movie is so over-the-top it's ridiculous. It's just too overdone to be believable.

    Lol. I've got the best song in my Inbox and it's going to stay there for all eternity. Too bad I haven't seen the actual movie.

    I loved this movie... probably one of my favorites. I also like the fact that the ending wasnt happy. Im not a dark person or anything its just nice to be suprised by an ending kind of like in "Very Bad Things."

    But fear and loathing was hilarious at the same time, this one wasn't :(.

    RFAD is easily one of my favorite movies, as is Fear & Loathing.

    This is easily one of the best movies of the beginning of this decade.

    Mostly due to the shock-factor, but man, it's so horrific, it's so re-watchable, 'cause: it IS very realistic how they've put heroine-junkies in view.

    The mix of the entrancing sound and music score + the Stanley-Kubrick - alike overall-scary athmosphere: pure awesomeness. ^^ I can only say good things about this film.

    Also a thought of mine: let this movie be standard in high-schools or something, to show what the realistic extremes are when dealing with a hazardous drug like heroin. o:
