It's No Comfy Chair, But...

There's a new horror movie coming out called "Turistas," and it clearly hopes to replicate the success of the recent torture/snuff sensation "Hostel." The movie poster features a girl with the name of the film spelled out on her forehead with stitches.
More troubling than the violence is the inconsistency: if they are torturing her, why did they stitch up the wounds? That promotes healing, and healing is the opposite of hurting. American moviegoers like their torture like they like their recall: total.
