Rating: 4.0
Sick. Sick. Sick.
What's with everyone giving their dissertations like this is a college class? If you're reading these reviews, you know what the film is about, or at least you've heard of the film. This one is sick and it lives up to its reputation. The men raping poor Camile Keaton isn't repulsive. The way she kills them off one by one isn't repugnant, either (although kudos to the bathtub scene - Ouch!). It's the demise and slow decay of her charachter's persona onscreen that's disturbing. Her innocence and naivety being replaced by the madness and pain brewing within her which would only be repressed and quieted by committing these horrendous crimes is the core of the story. If you're an ultra-gore fan, check this out. If you don't think you can handle something like this, chances are, you won't be able to.
