At least the original I Spit On Your Grave knew what it was (exploitation plain and simple). This garbage tries to dress itself in artsy decor, even as it shows a young man being dismembered. But whatever you think you might be getting from this film, you won't get it. As a feminist statement...well, watch Thelma And Louise again. As exploitation, it is nowhere near as extreme as the poster art would have you believe (the one scene I described being the exception). As cathartic revenge, Death Wish this ain't. The fact that it earned a little over $6K at the box office (probably not enough to cover the catering costs during filming) proves there is no audience for this cr*p and as Dana's looks fade, the few roles she gets will quickly fade as well as she is singularly without any acting talent, exhibiting here the same vacant stare throughout the entire movie (the other lead actress is actually pretty good). I should also point out that in addition to being anti-male (well, not quite all of us), the film is also very homophobic.
... View MoreThink "Black Swan" with FX for a three-year old. Or, think "The Corn Dog Man" with no plot, humor, quality writing . . . or ANY real complication. Or, think "The Rape of Lucrece" w/o poetic Drama . . . Or, think about any "story" totally dependent upon sex & violence. Wonder about WHY anyone would enjoy such plagiarism disguised as art but existing as nearly pure twaddle. Is cheap exploitation Art? What would Aristotle think of this film as "drama"? What would Charlie Chaplin think of this work as a waste of film? Is it really profitable to create such BAD cinema (it must be, as so many poor films are released). Wouldn't one learn more about philosophical existentialism by spending one's time pulling the wings off of flies? (Yes, one would.) Don't get me wrong; I UNDERSTAND what the message is. I UNDERSTAND the "techniques" (crude though they may be). What I cannot understand is why such a poorly made film was actually released upon an otherwise fairly guiltless universe. Still, if one likes pretension, slaughter, and gratuitous sex and violence--"git 'er Done!"

While working as a bartender one night after schedule she decides to go along with her friend and colleague Lulu at the disco to have some fun, so it happens that some guys to put eyes on the beautiful rebel girl and after he is a gentleman and accompanies her home he wants at least her phone number or a kiss but she denies his advances and he's not let her go more, he rapes her. The police seems to be useless because they don't have the young man address or first name. So our two deadly looking girl decides to make justice on their own and murder all the boys who harmed Shae.The movie is about a retaliation of a girl who meets someone at a club and the guy took advantage of her, but if we think more eventually is the girl's fault, she should know better how long it takes until you truly meet someone for real and not after one night besides that she is the one who took the first step. Also the movie is unrealistic focusing on the killing of those humans and the law forces are missing and more even one of them is so easy to fool after a short change of replies.
... View Moreit seems that nearly EVERYONE missed the point of this movie.LU was not real. she was Shae's shadow, her through the looking glass other self. there was even a poster there, in the penultimate scene, with the word ALICE, seen through the looking glass. Shae had worked through her revenge fantasies, and learnt that it did not make her feel better. she had learnt that that the thirst for revenge prevented her forming new relationships and she had defeated her own desires for it.the final scene showed that Lu was part of Shae explicitly - with Lu smoking in the background ( beyond the wall) as Shae sits on the stairwell.all that aside, what a great movie. love the acting, the cinematography and the well synced soundtrack. a great great movie
