I Spit On Your Grave (2010)

I Spit On Your Grave (2010) [3: Worth Watching Once]

A remake of a controversial 1978 movie I only knew by rep due to its brutual rape scene. Of course Im no fan of such horrible matter especially when afternoon soap operas show such matter also. I said to my wife why dont we just skip to the revenge chapters. We decided to watch and if it gets to upsetting we will fast forward.

Well the girl being by herself in the middle of redneck woods, being a toothpick and vaguely flirting with locals. Things like that you bring the attention. Although she was'nt, women who wear skirts, make up and "flirt" expect a male to just stand there and take that. Thankfully Im married.

Anyway, the infamous attack scene, well Ive seen worse in The Accused and a few others. Being a slasher film fan Im into killer and revenge scenes. But were very well created. It stuns me how any female can psychologically and physically can place themselves in such a scene/matter.

The revenge scenes are truly awesome. You definitely need a stomach for it. But for its controversial rape scene: Death Wish 1 & 2, The Accused, Casualties of War and a few others were definitely far worse than this was described as.

My Soul To Take (2010)

My Soul To Take (2010) [3: Worth Watching Once]

It seemed like pretty good for a while especially being a Wes Craven movie. Even the description contained a Michael Myers meet Freddy Krueger sense. Only the killer appeared in a stupid costume. Although the opening seemed it was a demon possession situation. Fair kill shots but like typical horrors it drags to each kill shot. Eventually you think you know who the killer is, an explanation why it is happening is a pretty good story. But who it turns out to be actually make no sense. But 96% is worth watching, thankfully as I said its Wes Craven movie but needed "who the killer was" make sense.
