Exploitive Animal death SPOILERS

I saw this movie and was devastated by it. This is the case I think of as the most disturbing serial murder ever.

Anyway. The animal scenes really bothered me, being an animal lover. I was interested in the story, though, and once I read extensively about it, I found that John was a total animal lover, and took in/nursed animals all the time. So the scene where he makes Jamie kill his (John’s) dog, and the scene with the kangaroo guts actually didn’t happen, and was definitely not in John’s wheelhouse.

So WTF would you ADD this?! This story isn’t horrific enough on its own? Really?

I would consider this movie really gutsy (no pun intended) and brutal, an admirable, grim, sickening film. And I mean that as a compliment. But the animal scenes were pure gratuitousness. What’s sicker, the actual crimes or the people that felt the crimes weren’t ENOUGH? Shame, shame, shun.
