The industry says this is all overblown, and lawmakers behind the bill note that specific points in the legislation require full...

The loose, organic structure of the film works its magic in the first third of the movie; the pacing is deliberate and slow, allowing...

But instead of detracting from the show, these unpolished aspects serve to heighten enjoyment and run up the fear factor.
