I've never wrapped our daughter's up in cotton wool either, but personally didn't think it was the sort of thing young children should watch. Let's put it this way, our daughters wouldn't have been allowed to watch it & neither would our young grandchildren. I watched the film Premature Burial when a teenager & that was bad enough!
Must confess tho', I couldn't wait to tune in myself, just to see what they'd cooked up this time! It made me feel quite claustrophobic watching Max being buried alive, even tho' I can't stand the smug git!
I want to be cremated.....!
