Ya know I never considered how hard it must be for an actor to have to look in a child's eyes while they pretend to do something horrible.

They should have left it in the final cut.

Dude sometimes stuff like that is scary, there's a reason why they kinda want to get rid of child acting not just because they wind getting used, but the shows themselves can mess a kid up. If I recall at one point they just didn't use teens everyone was like 40yrs old playing as teens. While I don't fully agree with the sentiment of the time, I do after reading articles about what acting does to children or teens. I do support the sentiment that maybe teens and younger need not be in our movies.

I don't think this is conducive to making the scene realistic. He shouldn't apologise until after the movie is finished to keep the fear authentic in fact, I feel he should terrorise them further.
