...Revolt and, if ITMFG gets to you, an aching premonition. For beyond the gore is the void. We are all facing death, these movies say, and when we smell its fetid breath we have only two choices.

A recent buffet of tabloid stories--kidnappings, a mine rescue, twins joined at the head--has put these bookers to the test and ratcheted...
