^^ Ok, that actually made me chuckle.

I'm pretty much a wuss when it comes to exploitation films - Have a very low tolerance and can barely sit through them... I tend to avoid exploitation films because of this.
Films that I can remember stopping because the content bothered me (you're all probably going to laugh :o):
- I Spit On Your Grave (1978) - My friend got me this movie in high school on VHS without knowing anything about it. Up until this movie, the only horror movies I had seen were Hitchcock or old science fiction, so in a way it was my first introduction into exploitation... We turned it off at the rape scene.
- Last House on the Left (1972) - Tried watching this with my boyfriend a year ago or so - Turned it off pretty close to the start of the movie, around the time that they made the girl piss her pants.
- The Devil's Rejects (2005) - Tried watching this maybe a couple of years ago with the boyfriend... Also turned this off pretty close to the beginning of the film.
- Pinky Violence - Terrifying Girls' High School (1973) - Watched this a couple of years ago and got farther than I expected, but ultimately turned it off.
I know these probably seem pretty tame compared to
Serbian Film,
Men Behind the Sun, and etc., but that's why I know I'll never watch those movies. I'm surprised that I got through
Martyrs to be honest.
I guess that's why I really like reading Ferox's, Wicker's, EC's and other exploitation fans' posts - It's because I can't stand to watch these films, but I am intrigued with the critique and the reaction to them from those who will watch them.
