Have people really gotten that f'd in the head, where they'll decry the first film, yet-at the same time-say the remake is good?

I've only seen both once many years apart and I never got around to the revenge scenes in the first film before the movie messed up. I never bothered to go back. It felt like the whole movie was a ridiculous 70s rape porno. Where as (from what I remember) it seemed this movie had a better approach to it. Only thing I really hated was them telling her to neigh and stuff like that. It was just extremely distracting and took away from the creepiness.<br /><br />I explain my feelings on both films in my review of the remake here: http://www.shiversofhorror.com/blog/2011/03/29/i-spit-on-your-grave-2010-hd/ <br /><br />Oh, and I found it neat that that the guy who play’s Andy, is the actor who played Joey in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 & 4.Shivers of Horrorhttp://www.shiversofhorror.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203630873926228933.post-39958021141226583022013-01-16T19:45:14.352+00:002013-01-16T19:45:14.352+00:00Hey Anonymos!!!!! kiss my ass!!!!lolHey Anonymos!!!!! kiss my ass!!!!lolLorena Pinascohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570553234764220597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203630873926228933.post-87596106927974726392012-12-16T00:10:37.862+00:002012-12-16T00:10:37.862+00:00STFU asshole, it WAS shit.

"You suck! If you don't like this movie screw you!" Now that friends and neighbors is a poster-child for open-mindedness and rational argument. I didn't care for either film all that much personally. I'm sick of shock-factor, fuck-fests, and gore scenes. I find myself wondering if there will ever be a truly scary movie or has wading through all of this barely passable filth desensitized me to the point where none shall succeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203630873926228933.post-64339040402684057432011-02-19T18:25:43.375+00:002011-02-19T18:25:43.375+00:00Thank you kindly for your thoughtful and well-word...Thank you kindly for your thoughtful and well-worded comment, Anyonymous.

Sexual violence stands no chance of getting a proper release on the BBFC. I managed to get my hands on an uncut copy awhile back though (thank you Internets). <br /><br />I'd say my response, whilst emotional, is more directed at the cynicism of the remake (it just seems to be pointless) and the shoddiness of the original. I find neither particularly well-made and both kinda boring. I'm not against the story per-se, but I'd rather they do it either well or not at all.

At times I felt I was watching some lost relic from that decade, but with a modern polish. The one liners didn't bother me, nor did I think they were funny. I took it that each torture/death mirrored each attackers character traits and her dialog was back-handed responses to certain remarks thrown at her earlier in the film. <br /><br />Also, I didn't think the rape scene here was the pornographic endurance test of the original. More time was spent with the humiliation aspect leading up to the rape, imo. And for once, I thought the revenge portion was satisfying on all fronts. While I wouldn't say it was an enjoyable movie, I do think it's a worthy, if pointless remake.<br /><br />Some feel the first movie was supposed to show the ugliness of the act of rape. Personally, I think Zarchi was, like so many during that time, trying to make the most deplorable exploitation flick imaginable and that seems to be the case here, too. Both films in my view exist solely to evoke an emotional response in viewers and it seems to have done just that with you, Joel.<br /><br />Is the original and remake available uncut in your neck of the woods?venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
