Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones is tragic and morbid enough on its own. So when Peter Jackson was set to direct the screen adaptation of the novel, everyone thought it would be equally as distressing, now that the horror is visualized for us. Apparently we were wrong. (Spoiler coming, by the by.) Jackson has revealed that early test screen audiences were thirsty for more blood, complaining that the child killer (played by an unrecognizable Stanley Tucci) isn't murdered brutally enough in the movie's final death scene.

Jackson noted the audience was not satisfied with the lack of suffering the scene portrayed. So he shot new footage and got back into the editing room to restructure a scene that aroused more satisfied bloodlust from viewers. Blame it on all the Saws, Hostels, and Tarantinos, because it seems audiences can't get excited by a film without the promise of carnage, or at least revenge-carnage. The film comes out in December ,and as of now, is still rated PG-13.
