This is even gorier than the book...


The violence in the book is kept minimal, whereas with this film they amped the gore up to an unnecessary level. I feel I would have liked it more if it was more subtle.

The book goes into great detail describing gore and violence - Gage getting destroyed by the truck and the condition of his body after, various information about morticians and dead bodies, Pascow's rotting body with his exposed brain, etc.

I agree the book has a lot more gore & violence.
