Scenes that don't really fit...

So, I watched Let the Right One In today. Not my taste really, a bit slow paced with a touch of pedobear material in it. But other people apparently liked it.

Basically, it's covers the love story between a 12 year old boy and a female vampire that was turned at 12 (hence the pedobear territory), and is generally serious, character driven, plodding and a bit boring if I'm honest, for more than the first hour. But then there's a scene where a woman, turned by the vampire (she was driven off before she could kill her), is attacked by cats. And it looks like this:



I'm sorry, but in the middle of this really serious film, why do you put something in that looks like a live action version of a Terry Gilliam animation? It didn't really add a huge piece to the plot, and even if it did, it could've been directed differently, and the film resumes being slow and plodding afterwards. It's almost like they started out trying to write a comedy, changed their minds, but still had the cat scene recorded and wanted to put it in.

Couldn't take the film seriously after that.

Anyone have other examples of this?

Was she actually being attacked by cats, or did she just go crazy?

I always thought the deer attacking scene in the remake of The Ring was incredibly bizarre. Yes, they chalked it up to the father having all those antlers in the basement, but really... What the hell? There was never a scene like that in the original.

PANCAAAAAAAKES

She was really being attacked.
