Read the following piece and choose the key word that best matches the definition:

I went to see that new horror film that director Spike Lewis made. It was banned in some countries because it's so shocking. I've been waiting ages to see it so I'm glad it wasn't banned here. I did read that they had to cut some of the most gruesome scenes, though. I wasn't disappointed, it was terrific! The movie is set on a university campus and the plot centres on a small group of students who go there.
The movie stars Hank Bushback as the hero of the film; although, he doesn't have much dialogue. In fact, there's not really that much talking in the whole film. I guess, whoever wrote the script wasn’t that interested in writing conversations! The film relies more on amazing special effects that look so real, and a scary atmosphere is created by the music that they use. The music was so good that I'm going to buy the soundtrack.
My Spanish friend went to see it in Barcelona, but she didn't think it was that good. She said they ruined it when they dubbed it into Spanish from English. She said she would rather have seen it in English with Spanish sub-titles. I highly recommend it.
