Re: War of the Worlds [Spoilers]
I've heard Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaption of War of the Worlds and can understand why, in its time, it was genuinely frightening. It purported to be a live account of events taking place in New Jersey and, aside from a brief announcement at the beginning indicating all that followed was fiction, there was no remitting on its premise throughout.
Knowing that this movie is fiction before ever setting foot in the theater, it was still horrifying. Now, three hours later, it's still very unsettling.
