David Boreanaz

Alan Cumming may love his new flick, "Suffering Man’s Charity" - but not too many others did at its premiere at the Core Club.

Some scenes in the dark comedy - about a "failed composer turned music teacher with a weakness for impoverished young men" - were too much for the crowd.

During a gruesome torture scene involving a scantily clad David Boreanaz and a whip, several people left and a woman fainted.

Cumming - who adapted, directed, produced and stars in the movie - was unfazed and partied with Paper magazine execs afterward.
