Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A must watch for true humans! So, it is definitely NOT for MRA's and misogynists.

Roger Ebert gave this 0 stars and called it the worst movie he had ever seen. I understand why, half of it is rape, the other half is gruesome murder(e.g. : a man gets his part chopped off in the tub, and doesn't realize right away for some reason). I am anti-revenge, so seeing the main character do her acts was horrific. But that raises an important question-if that was the wrong way to handle her abusers, what was a better way? I love movies that make me think about morality(read my 10/10 review for American Beauty) and that's why I really enjoyed this. It's in my top 10. It won't be for everyone, but if you are up to it, I think you should check it out.

I watched this movie after seeing it sited on a list by The Rolling Stone as one of the most contrversial and gruesome movies made. there must not be that many gruesome horror movies out there because this movie was extremely boring with run time being wasted on shots that lingere on to long as if they had tension. the rape scenes werent convincing at all and the kills in this movie weren't satisfying nor disturbing and poorly done. the acting is sub par aswell. i became interested in disturbing horror movies after extremely enjoying cannibal holocaust, and after seeing this and other movies like this i now realize that most movies in this genre are awful and holocaust is an exception.

While hard to watch, this film is well thought out. This movie was not made to please the majority of audiences, it was made to be thought provoking. Is it something most audiences can consider "easy viewing"? Of course not, and it wasn't made to be that way. It's a rough movie to watch but a movie that is rare in its plot and for its ending. For the reviews saying that the male characters are not given enough time to make audiences relate to them, I say "of course!". The audience is not supposed to relate to so-called "hicks" who brutalize and rape a stranger. Why would we?! And for those reviews that take offense that the woman seeks revenge on those who have violated and abused her, then movies are not for you. Are we supposed to hate those in series' like The Purge whom defend themselves? Or is it that some people take issue with a woman defending herself and trying to right a wrong that can never be righted? Do I agree with murder to get it done? Of course not! But I can appreciate the film for showing a female lead being victimized in too many ways and then showing her taking the strength to take matters into her own hands. This is not an easy movie to watch but the underlying messages are some I have never seen in any other movie.
