What had the girl in hospital for over a month?


The girl that Cady attacked that got him jail - it was said she was in hospital for over a month. Would she have been terribly injured to have spent so long in hospital?

Hell yeah, he was a monster, they just couldn't outright say or show it back then.

His description of what he did to his ex-wife for leaving him was chilling, shocking.

Great as DeNiro is, he didn't come close to the evil that came off of Mitchum.

And they didn't pull the crappy trick of having Bowden's daughter suck Cady's thumb the way Juliette Leeus did in the remake. WTF!
