The dementor attack

While watching PoA for the fourth time, I was again shocked by how 
horrible the dementor attack on Sirius and Harry was.  It struck me 
how much it made me feel slightly uncomfortable - like I was 
witnessing a rape scene in a movie.  I know that is a strong 
description, but that's how it made me feel.  I don't think I was 
alone in that feeling as, oddly enough, the audience was completely 
silent during the entire event - no one made a single noise.

The addition of the dementors pulling at the faces of their victims 
just made the attack seem so much more violating than in the book.  
I'll probably always get the shivers during this scene no matter how 
many times I watch it. 

Did this scene strike anyone else that way?
