Aly Campbell (communications major at Eckerd College) submitted the following from Park City:
Last night Cassia and I attended the midnight premiere of a horror film entitled The Woman. We both agreed after seeing the film that it was quite successful in being utterly horrifying. It was fairly hard to watch at some points due to the preponderance of carnage, torture and domestic abuse. However, we also agreed that it was a compelling story, artfully crafted, raw, and realistic, with impressive performances by all of the actors. Unfortunately for the director, actors, crew, and the rest of the audience, there were one or two audience members who very adamantly disagreed with this opinion. Not to be completely overshadowed by the protests and drama surrounding the premiere of Kevin Smith's Red State, Lucky McKee garnered his own share of outrage and controversy (much to the shy, nervous director's chagrin).
