I deliberately put "foolish" in speech marks, as I'd imagine that would be the general consensus regarding this particular project. I certainly don't feel threatened/scared by this idea, as it happens, but I'd certainly feel a bit odd at watching such footage. I am of course aware of the hypocrisy of liking stylised/theatrical violence and being weirded out by seeing real violence on screen. As for you first question, well, opinions of good and bad films are of course highly subjective, mine included. What I imagine to be good/bad/indifferent may or may not vary with you.
EDIT: Talking of stylized violence, the murder scene in Larry Clark's "Bully" is pretty unpleasant, but also is very well filmed and acted.
