Simon, re moral clarity: Sometimes! For the 31 flicks I watched, you could make that case for about a quarter of them - the "moral disgust" ones. For the "instrument of clarity" ones, the "exaggeration to the point" ones, and the "startling juxtaposition" ones - the ones I like - the horror provides thematic clarity, not moral clarity. If you see what I mean, it highlights the moral questions, it doesn't align with the moral answers.
J: yep!
