Hard movie to review
Obviously this film isn't for everybody. If you're interested in seeing it it's because you want to see something controversial that pushes boundaries. Something you won't see in most other films. This movie should satisfy those desires. We all know what it's about so I won't go into that. There are three seperate rape scenes all taking place within about an hour. These scenes are fairly graphic and pretty real. I think her trauma is more mental as the men don't really beat on her until the final rape. In carrying out her revenge she actually allows one of the men to have sex with her before she kills him. That seemed strange to me but it was a good scene. The best scene to me is the scene in the bathtub. Again she gains one of the men's trust and gets in the bathtub with him. Then after making him feel very good she does something very bad! They way the actors played this scene out seemed very real to me. I think the mans reaction is pretty spot on.In some other reviews I've read this movie described as disturbing and being compared to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Last House on the Left". I didn't think this movie was at all distubing. Maybe it might be for women. It's nothing like "TCM"! That movie is disturbing! And it's way better than "Last House on the Left" Which I didn't like at all. So all in all if this movie appeals to you then I think it is definitely worth checking out.
