Query: Why?

Recently director Penn lamented the gun culture of contemporary cinema. Seeing as 'The Pledge' is arguably a horror film, albeit the horror slowly dawning on the audience from an unexpected source, isn't the picture merely one big gun pointed at the audience's head? I really don't know what attracted him to the frankly emetic story line, but this isn't necessarily less pernicious than a lot of other Hollywood product, especially that uncalled for moment in the church.
