oops sorry. Posted twice.

i havent seen irriversable yet .. but i did see the other 2 and i think 'I spit' is far less exploitative and nasty than 'last house'

you should, monica bellucci is positively edible

i'll have to steel myself up for that one. (no pun intended)

i have a tough time with rape scenes ..

I have all 3 of these on DVD, seen them all a few times, and for me, without doubt, Irreversible was by far the most disturbing/unpleasant. By a long way.

As to which is the better film - I think Irreversible was certainly the most technically accomplished. However it was made with artistic sensibilities in mind, and can benefit from much newer production technologies than the other three.

As far as which I like the best - I would have to agree with I Spit. I am just not sure why :( I think it might be something to do with the revenge that the main protagonist metes out on her attackers. I think the crimes that the villains in these movies commit are so nasty and unpleasant that the revenge is all the more welcome. And this is the only one of the three where the victim gets to take revenge herself. However, I guess this makes I Spit the most formulaic of all three as well.

The rape scene is damn intense. However the earlier scenes (you will know them when you see them) are so brutal that I think for me it somehow lessened the impact of the rape scene - I think I was still trying to digest what had gone previously.

The rape scene was just shot so differently from other scenes like that. Irriversable was a good flick but I wasn't as shocked as I thought, although the


*SPOILER*


hooker with the penis was deffinatly one of those "What the hell?" moments.

Last House was pretty good but I Spit did such a good job with the revenge story. Wonder how that movie Chaos that came out in 05' is...

What about a Disney Sleeping Beauty version?!
