Surely this is a warning about the dangers of our insane 'celebrity culture'?

Just because some weirdo becomes famous for starring in films/movies does not mean that he is some sort of demi-god. His pronouncements are of no more acount than any other weirdo's.

Someone who makes a whole film depicting a person being brutally tortured to death is definitely a weirdo in my book - and a dangerous one to boot!
