Fear is your only god.

After finishing this movie I was wondering how much money it took to edit out Darabonts huge balls from the finished product. In an age when studio interference reigns supreme it was refreshing to see an uncompromising vision from a director willing to take risks even though it wont satisfy 90% of the North American audience. I prefer to look at the film as more of a study of humanity in times of hopelessness and fear as opposed to a horror movie. How we tend to flock to the people that provide easy answers no matter how asinine the solution. Marcia Gay Harden really stands out in a great performance as the local bible thumping idiot, you just wanted to get in there and strangle her. Rage Against The Machine said it best; fear is your only god.
