Rape Movie: I Spit on Your Grave

[screwedupteen]

This is the most idiotic movie ever made. It was so perverse and I hated it. I think anybody who claims to like this movie is either a psychopath or has never watched it. This movie is degraded to women and needs to be banned in America. After seeing this movie won an award. I don't hesitate to question the sanity of America. The person who wrote this movie should be put in jail for showing a women being raped and showing the characters have no remorse. If you are thinking of watching this movie. Save yourself and rent something else.
Here are the countries that banned or allowed this movie:
Certification: Argentina:18 / Australia:(Banned) (original rating) / Australia:R (re-rating) (2004) (uncut) / Canada:(Banned) (Nova Scotia) (original rating) / Canada:(Banned) (Ontario) / Canada:16+ (Quebec) (video rating) / Canada:18 (Nova Scotia) (re-rating) (1998) / Canada:R (Manitoba) / Finland:(Banned) / Iceland:(Banned) / Netherlands:16 (uncut) / New Zealand:(Banned) / New Zealand:R18 (re-rating) (2004) / Norway:(Banned) (video version) (1982) / South Korea:18 (heavily cut) / USA:R / West Germany:(Banned) / UK:(Banned) (1984-2001) / UK:18 (heavily cut) / Ireland:(Banned) (2002)

If you have seen this movie and liked it. I would like you to tell me why. If you didn't do the same.
If you have never seen this movie it is about a women who is raped several times by perverse red necks and it doesn't hesitate to show women being tortured. That is the whole movie one woman being tortured.

Eeerh.... I haven´t seen this masterpiece, but doesn´t the lady end up getting back at all the evil men? :confused: I thought THAT was the offensive part? :rolleyes:

[bloodrayne]

How is it any different from 'In The Dark' (about a blind woman who gets violently raped and takes revenge) or 'Last House On The Left'...Or about a million other movies really?:confused:

I don´t know?:confused:

Haven´t seen any of that sheit. :D

[BH14]

i havent seen it but by the looks of all those banned countries, Im guessing that its way more graphic of rape and torture than both those movies.

[42ndStreetFreak]

You're 13 fucking years old!!!!!

[zwoti]

kids eh :rolleyes:

[Blues Singer]

I agree I Spit On Your Grave is one of the worst movies ever made. Some say it's a feminist classic. Bah! Poorly made, poorly acted.

Same goes with Last House...which was just as bad really. How he went on to make a classic like Nightmare on Elm St is beyond me.

Cheap explotation crap!

[urgeok]

not much to add here that wasnt already said on the other thread concerning this film.

[42ndStreetFreak]

Nothing crap about cheap Exploitation!

Just avoid Exploitation movies

neither of these are the best of their kind and both have faults, but crap they are not.

You either dig Exploitation flicks or you don't imho, there is no real middle ground.

[Blues Singer]

I don't mind explotation that much, it's just Shock Exploitation films i'm not keen on.

I can't dig those graphic rape scenes filmed so badly. The one in Irreversible was stylishly executed, the one in I Spit...was extremely poor.

It's simply a matter of personal preference...That's why there are so many varied opinions about 'teen slashers', gore vs psychological terror...And even Comedy/Horror/Drama/Sci-Fi...etcetera...

you want better quality rape scenes ?

i'm not sure what you are saying here ??!!

i found the actual rape scenes less than exploitive ...
they were awful, and terrifying - but not exploitive ..

even the 'revenge deaths' were tame by todays standards.

the big problem the film had was the idiots in the audience cheering on the attackers .. THAT was in large part what gave this film its bad name..

not better quality obviously. but when you've got the same shot of a man laughing edited in the same sequence more than once then thats bad filmaking. the irreversible rape scene put the most across of how bad rape is a lot better by keeping the camera completely still for several minutes. that scene was extremely hard to watch and thus made it more believable.

Okay then I shall show you some (SOME) respect and answer you.

WHY is it bad that the director had RAPISTS show no remorse? You will probably find most rapists don't.
And are you seriously telling me that IF the guys had cried real tears and said 'boo hoo, we be sorry', THEN it would have been okay for the director to show the rape afterall??
Really?? Seriously?? Think about that.

if anything that makes the rapists somehow pittiful and tragic and gives them sympathy!!
And are you saying that the rape is now okay in itself because they said 'sorry' after!!?

NO, this movie is not ALL a woman getting abused. The entire second half is actually her getting revenge!

She was a tourist, a pretty woman, in a strange place, an obviously small and close community and she was raped by members of that community.
men who had jobs there, one who had family even.
Exactly how far do you think she would have got if, in this situation, she suddenly cried rape?? Not far!

And if you think that's bullshit then you should learn more about the film's you slag off...The entire film is based on a real life incident where the director and friends came across a naked, beaten and raped girl.
Her treatment at the hands of the local Police is what stuck in his mind and so he later made this film about a raped woman in such a community taking her own revenge.

OF COURSE it still has VERY exploitative moments, but it was a 70's Exploitation film aimed at making as much money back as possible. The story may have been based on a harsh reality...but the film business is just that...a business.
You cater to the market.

But even then you have to show just how nasty and foul the rape was, and just how sickening the people that did it were. And the film does that.
True it perhaps goes on longwer than it needs, but hey...that's Exploitation folks!
This explicit rape also has to be just that, explicit and nasty so the audience REALLY feels good when the guys get it!
The nastier the act, the nastier the villian, the nastier the villian...the more damn fun the punishment is!
Please your audience!

It's brutal, well made Exploitation which, although it always puts the money first, actually does have a crowd pleasing aspect and does in the end show that the victim has become the punisher.
She will never get over the rape..but that was done as sson as she WAS raped. But at least she knows that the guilty have been punished and that she has not had to go through the hell of a Court trial and all the attacks of a different kind that she would have had to endure...and the chnaces are that even after all that, that they would get away with it anyway given the situation.
This way though..she not only sees justice done, but she takes back control from those that took control away from her in the process.

OR...you can ignore all that and just call me a psychopath.

And as for the remark that the director should be thrown into prison, we shall just leave that as it is...the warbling of a child.

What was the retarded rapist's name again ? I haven't seen it in years.

Rape is almost as wrong as murder, yet we're all horror movie fans here. It's just a movie dude.

Good point.
CK

[urgeok]

uhhhmmm ... i'm not a rape fan ...


not really a great comparrison..

i think the motivation behind what is being portrayed on film is of issue..

this particular film was trying to make us feel uncomfortable ...
unfortunately it did provoke garbage from chicken fucking inbreds during several screenings of 'get her, get that bitch' ...

and yeah - i have the same feelings towards these geeks as the ones that say the same thing to jason as he's killing people too.
We all dig the fear and anticipation - but i dont cheer when someone's getting slaughtered..

rape is a very real, all too common thing .. it is something that has affected almost everyone either directly or though association...

so far pinhead or freddy or the creature from the black lagoon haven't populated my daily existence so i'm really not affected the same way by these lumbering fantasies.

i am a horror fan because it's fantasy ... i am not a rape fan and i'm uncomfortable seeing it depicted on screen..

that doesnt mean the film shouldnt be made .. but i am sensitive to others points of view .. it could be hitting them on a level thats very real.

[Steve_Hutchison]

I didn't mention Jason and Freddy because that's not what I had in mind. I was thinking more along the lines of King of the Ants, TCM and the like. The only reason rape scenes don't appeal to people as much as those in general are purely cultural.

[MisterSadistro]

Death is a universal fear as well, especially if it's at the hands of someone chasing you with a chainsaw or such. Everyone can relate to that.

read this line again :


'rape is a very real, all too common thing .. it is something that has affected almost everyone either directly or though association...'


either someone you know - or someone who knows someone you know - has been raped. I will bet my house on it.
If you dont think a victim or friend of a victim would be affected by it, you're dead wrong.

How is that a cultural thing ??

[Steve_Hutchison]

I know of three people who have been raped and one who have been murdered. The three people who have been raped currently live their lives. Can't say that much about the person who died. Call me stupid but I don't think rape is worse than murder. And just to be a little more relevant to this thread, I still don't think rape movies are any worse than horror movies.

Rape fans unite!

The tards name was 'Mathew'

If you want some real fun, watch "I Spit on your Corpse, I Piss on your Grave"

I'm pretty sure even the feminists & the people trying to impress the female population will love it...

...wait till you see a man screwed to death (loss of blood) by a broom handle

[42ndStreetFreak]

That broom handle is put to another use too! Delightful.

[crippler666]

It's so versatile, it's so long, it's sooooooo woody

You're 13 and your favorite horror movie is Amityville '05....

I think I'll get my film advise elsewhere.

I read a critic's review that said the guy who watches I Spit On Your Grave twice should be locked up and put away. I wonder what that says about me, I've seen it like twenty times?;)

I'm 33 and my favourite movie is New York Ripper

I mentioned the movie due to its sick nature and peoples attitude to I Spit On Your Grave

I know the movie I mentioned is not quite a AAA title, but it is done in the same vain

[EXTR3MIST]

What about the Far-Eastern approach to rape in film?

If americans had made the likes of the Rapeman series or Obscene Beast Teacher, we'd all lose our minds.

But coming out of countries where ("used") schoolgirl panties are available to buy in shops?

yeahhhhh...

i dont get those guys at all ..

where else can you get a genre of anime specific to 'tenticle rape' ???


(some) Japanese have a very fucked up approach to sexual equality... it's all about power - but then again - so is rape ..

[azathoth777]

I have seen I Spit..., and I didn't like it. Not because it involved rape or was to graphic, I just didn't think it was a very good movie. That's my opinion, you are allowed yours. However banning it is not right. For one that makes it 100 times more popular. Who doesn't want to see a movie they're not suppose to. Banning starts you on slippery slop that eventualy gets totally out of control. For example, in England between the early and mid '80s, they where banning horror movies left and right. Video stores got huge fine, distributers had entire stocks of movies(including master copies sometimes) seized and destroyed, and people actualy went to jail just for having certain movies in there stores. Is that what you want here? Because for every horror movie there is someone who finds it offensive.

[meetthecreeper]

Psychopath

[MichaelMyers]

This is a good first date movie.

[EXTR3MIST]

Perhaps, if you're Travis Bickle.

I hate that stuff, it's disgusting.

I had to "rape" a character in a film last year... and it was a very difficult scene for both the actress and myself. I have no doubt it will be difficult to watch; that was the point, if I'm not mistaken.

Regardless, I'm not in favor of banning films and arresting directors. I own a copy of I SPIT... and it is a brutal film (and certainly not a lot of fun.) But it is an interesting picture... for what it is. And I won't be showing it to any 13 year olds.
