...harm to innocent people. Do you still want to enter?" You said yes, and saw this: "91% of you ignored the warning. Where are your morals?" This is, of course, a site devised by Screen Gems, the Sony subsidiary that produced Vacancy, When a Stranger Calls and sequels to Hostel, 8mm, Sniper, Resident Evil and I Know What You Did Last Summer. So Sick is pretty much the in-house genre, and the superior moral tone of Intractable is just another twisted prank.

...young directors taking those questions in years past have graduated with honors from Midnight Madness. This was where to find Peter Jackson before The Lord of the Rings (with Meet the Feebles and Braindead). James Wan launched his Saw franchise here; and Eli Roth, helmer of the Hostel horror movies, got his first international exposure with Cabin Fever. "After the first screening there was a bidding war for the film," Geddes says. "It basically kick-started his career...
