...polyglot and polychrome New York City. When outlaw and author first met nearly seven years ago at a lower Manhattan nightclub, K was trying to make it as a hip-hop lyricist and performer. He had the look (270 lbs. of muscular intimidation draped in clothing loose enough to conceal an arsenal) and a showman's instincts. In the book his stage name is American Dread, suggesting both the nation's historical fear of black uprisings and Jamaica's popular hairstyle...

What Very Bad Things has, The Cable Guy did not: an ensemble of characters who--despite including pseudo-stars like Christian Slater--never quite mesh, scenes of physical violence and moments when the superficial horror turns out to conceal nothing besides yet more superficiality. And blood. Blood, limbs and gore, in all of their nauseating variations. Here is where Very Bad Things shows itself to be neither "dark" nor "comedy." Somehow Peter Berg, the director, has decided that because the severing of an ear can be a scene...
