The Part with the boy and the hyenas..SPOILERS...

I have seen many, many horror films, including all of the Exorcist movies (the orginal is still the best,) and I am a huge fan of horror. But, I have never once felt physically ill after watching a scene, like I did after seeing that scene where that poor little boy, James, was ripped to shreds by the hyenas. Now, I know the Exorcist, and I knew what to expect from a movie like this one, but didn't anyone else think that scene went on a bit too long? And, even when Merrin and some guys got out there, they all stood around while the boy was being ripped to shreds! I thought at least once Merrin got the gun, he'd put the kid out of his misery, but he didn't; they all just kept shooting and missing until the hyenas finally dragged the almost dead, yet still screaming child away. That scene went on for too long in my opinion...
