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?
