“Caffeine pills, self mutilation, a cold shower - what will you do to keep her awake? www.KeepHerAwake.com.” That was the entirety of a promotional email I received from Warner Brothers this morning. From the content, it’s like the studio marketing team is either trying to make Freddy Krueger more Saw or more Xe. Maybe they picked up some tips from American black ops torturers, waterboarding and forcing “stress positions” to “keep them awake” in the name of liberty. It’s odd that some producers of material intended to ring this particular psychological bell get federal obsenity charges, while others get theatrical distribution. The intersection of porn, torture, and horrorshow: this is America.
