The Movie Diorama
Honestly, I'm not sure how to wrap my thoughts around this and cohesively write a review. Everything about this film, is just wrong. But that's the point. Does that necessarily make it a good film? Perhaps, perhaps not. A young woman stays in a remote cabin where she is terrorised and ambushed by a group of men (including the local sheriff). Presumed missing, she returns to seek justice by her own twisted methods. "Twisted" is gently describing this harrowing story. Simply put, this is disgusting. Two horrific rape scenes, elaborate torture set pieces and an eye wincing amount of gore. Clearly it was going for the shock factor, to which it succeeds. Hands down, I've not seen anything quite like this. The amount of comments I was making throughout its runtime..."seriously!? You're going to rape her again!?", "Oh she's going to do it...oh ohhhh...OHHH she did it!!" and "Revenge is a dish best served cold, even if it is a shotgun up the bum!". I'm not a huge fan of the "torture" sub-genre, I believe it is rather divisive but I can see its appeal to genre enthusiasts. However, making something shocking just so that it is memorable and intimidating doesn't make a good "film". You have to encompass every aspect. At the end of the day, it is a glorified B-Movie about revenge. I'll give credit to Sarah Butler, it cannot have been easy to film certain scenes and I thought she did pretty well. Everyone else could've been replaced and it wouldn't have made a difference. The second act was a slog, the interval where we wait for her to reappear seemed to go on forever. She then all of a sudden becomes an expert at torture, I mean some of those contraptions like the bath filled with lye were just too elaborate. Don't get me started on why she would even stay in that cabin alone anyway! Did we need a remake of the 1978 cult film? Who knows, but we've got one and it is brutally savage. Not necessarily my type of genre, but I can appreciate the fan base for these.

These actors could actually act. The rape scenes were far more believable and the revenge scenes were far more inventive and spectacular. More nudity was needed though considering this was a multiple rape film. And considering how unhinged jennifer became we really needed to see her kill the sheriffs family. The film wussed out on that one. Overall though, very enjoyable and female empowering when the killings start kicking in.

Brutal, sadistics, violents, I just accidentally watched this movie in a small cinema, but I think there are two groups of mentally sick people, the first is who make films like this, the second is who enjoy them and feel some exceptional artistic deepness. IT IS NOT WORTH TO LOSE TIME IN SEEING IT.

First of all, i want to make a point about the value of a film as a work of art. The production and the directing might not be the best BUT it's a move based on realistic facts that you might called them tragic. I like the fact that this movie makes a point of the relationship between victims-authorities-rapists, you might call this tragic but it s the truth. This movie made it to picture the truths without including sexism. The story focuses on the character that is willing to get the justice so much but society is not capable of doing this, leading her into an obsession for making things right from a victim's point of view. If you think that this movie says that "men are monsters for doing this to women so women can kill them" your level of understanding is below under-mediocre. The facts sais that in USA, 3 of 100 rapist get in jail. THIS IS A SHAMEFUL FACT OF THE WORLD. What a surprise, the movie shows low interest for making people alive get their justice, unless someone is dead, and if the dead person is a criminal, they stop getting any justice for the victims. This movie has the courage to say that we have trouble into getting justice. The criminals today can do wrong, and the system still allows them to be free, leading to no justice and more victims. Sad...but the truth is ugly!
