except that Bree was not terrifying to them in the book. there was no reason for a small town, very Shire-like, half populated by fellow hobbits, the literal only place in the entire world where Big People and hobbits live together in blessed harmony, to be scary.

if anything, Bree stands as the last bastion of quaint Shire-ness and safety before being plunged into the horror that is Nazgul, Weathertop, and the actual journey of the Ring. Its safety is violated, unexpectedly, by the encroach of the Nazgul. Even cutting the Barrow-downs as the hobbits' "real" first brush with darkness, Bree should still stand, in the movie, as their last expectation of safety being surprisingly violated as the first and last proof that they need to trust Strider and get the fuck out of there. In a good movie, it would have.

I think the problem is that they got rid of the forest, so they needed something to take its place as frightening, evil early challenges and Bree just slotted right in there.

I think that would've made the movie really drag, it takes long enough to feel like it's getting started. I think the change was for the best in terms of storytelling for the film.

Agreed. I love the Barrow-downs but that would just have been tedious in film format.
