This was followed by another link to
what the editor of [Ebert's] web site calls "an unusual number of impassioned and thoughtful responses..."
The film was not well received, and is only now coming out on video. The producers have taken a rare position on how to sell their failed flick. They're arguing that their movie about two young women who
suffer through torture, rape and murder and, as some reviews have noted, not in that particular order.
-is educational. Neat.
Director/writer David DeFalco is ready to defend his baby as well, telling TMZ, "People give us slack that that's just our excuse for making a sick movie, but I don't see how anyone can deny that it's gonna affect you ... [it] may actually teach you something about real evil."
A choice of replies:
Does that storyline sound like it teaches you anything that most of us didn't get from "Hansel & Gretel?"*
And if it does, wouldn't most of us pick it up from things like war, perverts in congress, outspoken and high-profile homophobes on the Supreme Court, and book-burnings in the 21st century?
*Or at least "Footloose," which I'm betting has better music.
