Horror Movie Release Party

More "transgressive" "showmanship" from the "horror" industry, according to the New York Times:
The idea behind Mr. Solomon’s planned party of course is to put “Captivity” back on the map, no small task given the scheduling hiccups and recent woes in the horror genre. Over the last few months a series of horror films have done poorly, culminating with the disappointing performance earlier this month by Lionsgate’s “Hostel: Part II.”
The hate is here. Lately, it's been occurring to me that I don't actually like this stuff. At all. (Kudos to everyone responsible for Hostel bombing. Your absence makes a difference).
