Interestingly, even once the rape has passed in the middle of the movie, the viewer knows it has yet to happen as we reach the end - so catharsis never arrives. Only re-watching the film and witnessing the retribution right at the start provides any relief, and even this is shattered when we learn that the man battered to death was not the villain. All things considered, this could well turn out to be one of the most important films of this century.

a lot of things are hardwired into the human condition - that we've conditioned ourselves out of. (well most of us) supposedly there has been a progression away from the time when we bashed someones head in with a rock because we wanted what he had. i think i understand it - and aknowledge it .... but in tune with it ? i hope not !

I own everything from Disney to porn, and I have a lot of stuff that people freak out about. For example, I own Grease 2. Yes, it's a horrible movie. Yes, most people don't like it. The fact is, the more you annoy me about my shitty movies the more I'm going to put them on every time you come visit. Then eventually, you either stop bitching or don't come over.
Very simple.

Whoo-boy...
My dad, Master of Inconsistencies and Double Standards is constantly riding my case about my love for horror. Then, friends and neighbors, he goes on and on quoting shit from the Old Testament, which is nothing but one bloody bloodbath after another, and often times "God" sanctions the killing of children. I tend to like horror films for the same reason I like ghost stories: the story. For me: Case closed.
