For a revenge movie then this 2009 movie was nowhere near as interesting, thrilling or disturbing as other movies of the same genre, for example "I Spit on Your Grave".The idea of the movie, the storyline if you will, is very simple and straight forward, as they usually tend to be for these particular types of movies. The storyline, simply put, is about two Catholic school girls find themselves at the mercy of three maniacs when they knock on their door during their trip to sell bibles.It is no secret that we don't watch these movies for their elaborate storyline. Hardly so. No, we watch these movies for the violence and to see what kind of wicked ways the movie makers come up with for torturing people on the screen and what nasty ways people are killed by those wronged in the movie. Yes, the revenge genre is a particularly nasty genre by comparison to most other genres.And you find yourself watching these movies because you enjoy the genre, most likely not because you stumble upon them by sheer random luck.What ultimately killed off this movie for me, pardon the pun, was the slow pace that it trotted on at, and the lack of convincing acting performances by the majority of the cast (which wasn't many, mind you, as there were few people in the movie). Had there been more talented people in the movie, it would have been all the more enjoyable.Don't get me all wrong here, because there were also nice aspects to the movie, they were just overshadowed by the less than mediocre stuff. And that was a shame, because it dragged the movie down.There are far better movies available in this particular genre. And I can honestly say that now as I have seen the movie, I am not going to revisit it ever again.
... View MoreThe synopsis caught my eyes and i was able to find this movie. I was expecting something like I spit on your Grave or Last House on the left. To be totally honest i never saw the originals and only the remakes. Yet this movie was made in the 2000s, so well...Turned out to be a very amateurish movie in every sense of the term. The movie got this "high school project" vibe as the camera, directing and everything look pretty amateur, and the main actress acting... holy cow...Seriously i couldn't get involved in anything that was happening. As she is getting rape she looks bored to death and i dunno, she just ain't believable at all. The other girl that get murdered at the beginning seem way more genuine in her acting.The movie also got a fair share of nudity and the girls are not unpleasant to the eyes, but when this is your movie highlight, there is definitely a problem.If you watch a movie like that, you want the girl to get her revenge, to make them pay, here i didn't had any feeling what so ever. The characters are just too cartoonish and well, if i would be Jeremy Jahn i would give it "Not remember it in T-minus 15 minutes, yet already forgot" ratings, barely escaping his worst rating that i can't type here cause it got prohibited words it seem...I will give it a 4 and give it the benefit of the doubt because it seem to know its place, and its after all indeed an amateur movie... and well that machete to the ass was actually original...But unless the genre really appeal to you, you can skip this one.
... View MoreCatherine and Rebecca, two Catholic schoolgirls, travel door to door selling religious items in order to raise money to continue their valuable education. Of course, they approach the wrong place and are attacked by really bad men. After a brutal encounter, the girls are left for dead. Catherine picks herself up and manages to obtain weaponry to seek revenge on the evil doers. This has been done much better before with I Spit on Your Grave or Last House on the Left. Low budget does not mean bad; it is in this case; the acting is horrendous, there is no structure, and the editing must have been done by someone wearing blindfolds. I can appreciate campy, but Run Bitch Run never reaches that level. Writer-director Joseph Guzman should never be allowed anywhere near a camera for the rest of his natural life.
... View MoreIf you rent or buy a film called Run Bitch Run, then you know what your getting into. It's true to the title and that's what is important. This would make a good triple bill with Street Trash and Dear God No!Yeah, it's cheap but isn't that the point? Much better than 99% of the crap Hollywood makes. I can't believe how many people are complaining about this movie. Just order a pay-per-view CGI spectacle and let the rest of us enjoy our trash already.Grab some booze and popcorn and enjoy it for what it is. If you want art go to a museum.See it.
