> It’s certainly darker than something like Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films... Huh. Why not also compare Jackson's puppet/splatter films, Bad Taste, M

  Because very very few people know of those films. "Ooh, aren't I lucky, I got a chunky bit!" You could also have mentioned Heavenly Creatures and The Frighteners (filmed in my home town, was a blast seeing Michael J. Fox roaming around). I suspect they mentioned LotR because you know, well known and, fantasy. Not really comparable to Barry and the team vs. the evil aliens, or Harvey Weinstein personified in a walrus puppet. But I'm rather glad you're aware of Jackson's earlier works.

  "dark" in the context of a fantasy movie isn't the same meaning as "dark" in the concept of a gross out or comedy movie.

    Can you describe what you feel the difference is? I'm very curious to hear your personal opinion on this matter.
