RSS Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Rape-revenge, a proto-Scream film, and an Epic Meal Time reference? Yup! It's an episode of Dread Media. Desmond and Darryll sit down to discuss I Spit on Your Grave, which is now out on Blu-ray, before Desmond goes solo on There's Nothing Out There. Rounding out the show is some excellent feedback, and the following terror tunes: "Spit it Out" by Slipknot, "Dirt on the Grave" by Black Label Society, "Nothing Terribly New" by The Hellacopters, and "That Time of the Month" by Harley Poe.

Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I find the idea of a blu-ray version of I Spit on Your Grave to be rather amusing, like the rape revenge film gains something in HD. The very first time I watched the film, it was with the Joe Bob Briggs commentary, which makes for a dramatically different experience. I had a lot of the same problems you guys did with the order of the killings. I also found the Matthew killing to be unjustified, really. Not only was he himself a victim in the whole thing, but at one point he makes the conscious decision to SAVE HER LIFE and she still kills him. That's not even getting into the impractical and weird way she deals with the other three. Ultimately, it's one of those movies you see just to say that you did, but I think Thriller and The Virgin Spring are dramatically better films. You ever see the "sequel" Savage Vengeance? Terrible. I hear the remake's pretty bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Haha. Oh feminism. I don't want to go into the feminism logic involved here cause it makes my brain cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well, he doesn't really save her life. He refuses to kill her. After he rapes her. In her eyes, he had it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Him refusing to kill her is what allows her to recover and escape though. And yes, he, an obviously mentally retarded person, raped her after drinking and being physically pressured into the situation multiple times. Granted, I'm not saying she should have taken him out for coffee afterwards, but the whole point of a revenge movie is to feel some sort of primal justice in the revenge, and killing him (not to mention starting with him) really just set a weird tone for me.

Venneh Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 According to feminism, he's just as guilty as the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yeah, I get that. I'm saying that it's wrong. Not to mention that feminism is such a broad ideology that people can often have completely different ideas of its definition. Feminists aren't nearly structured enough to have an established rule over whether the retarded guy deserved to die or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I don't condone it either, I'm just giving an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I guess I just prefer the type of feminism that leads to eye patches and slow motion shotgun blasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 There's that. I can't disagree. Have you seen the XXX rated version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Adds a creepy angle. Lindberg didn't know they were doing that. It isn't her, obviously. But she first saw it in the theatre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I disturbed people on the bus to work by laughing at Darryll's assertion that the Sound of Music could have done with some rape scenes!! Bravo sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Replace "on the bus to work" with "walking to work" and you have my experience, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Man Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Replace "on the bus to work" with "walking to work" and you have my experience, too. I stand by that statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
