Saw the remake version as in the poster. This was disturbing to say the least. Rapists make me sick and angry. I felt so good when the poor lass got her revenge, she had better ideas to get back at them than I did.
If you can sit through the torment the girl goes through in the first hour the rest of the movie is well worth it.
I read about this remake in a horror magazine a few months back. I too loathe rapists and as a more than once victim of rape,I have usually stayed away from movies that contain any rape scenes. However,11 years of therapy and being in my mid 30s,I have made peace with my being raped-especially bc it was not a horribly violent or brutal experience. don't get me wrong,the act itself is violent and brutal no matter if it is date rape from being slipped something,or when it occurs in a relationship that is unhealthy and abusive on many levels.
Since my "coming to terms" with my experiences,I have found that while gut wrenching to watch,when justice-real street justice-is exacted that I am able to watch movies that address rape and it in a sense further empowers me and renews my passion for counseling rape survivors and encouraging them to prosecute-something that I did not do with any of my attacks.
Have you seen the Jody Foster film "The Accused"? She won an Oscar for that role and it had=s stuck in my mind as the worst rape scene I have ever witnessed. If so,how does this film compare to "the Accused"? I imagine it is much more graphic-especially since you say that the attack last a full hour.
I would like to see it just for the end satisfaction that you say you got from her apparently creative revenge. I guess I am just wondering if you think I could make it through that hour now that you have a little background on me.
Replies welcome from any who have seen this film.
Thanks.............skillz
