Dallas director Israel Luna's neo-exploitation thriller had its local premiere Saturday night at the Rose Marine Theater, as part of the 12th annual Q Cinema: Fort Worth's Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. As was the case when the movie debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, members of the transgender community raised alarms: The title, they claim, is derogatory; and the film exults in and encourages gruesome violence against transgender people.
