I Spit On Your Grave

-
I went to Renata's house the other day, and we wanted to watch a horror movie. So we logged in Netflix and this title caught our attention. The plot synopsis said "In this horror remake, young writer Jennifer has her life shattered by a vicious rape. Now, the thugs responsible will face an excruciating fate". I had heard many people talk about how great this movie was and everything, so, why not?
I could lie and say that I'll try to make this spoiler free and everything, but I can't. So...
~~~ START OF SPOILERS ZONE ~~~
First of all, this movie is one of the most incommodious movies to watch EVER. Mainly because it's a 108 minute movie with 50 minutes of rape scenes and the other 50 with torture scenes. So, yeah, it is a extremely uncomfortable movie to watch.
The first 10 minutes made me almost burst out of agony. I mean, we all know she's getting raped, and I just wanted it to be over soon, so we could get to the actual movie, but apparently her being raped wasn't just a motivation, it was a MAIN part of the movie. I feel like some of the horror of the movie comes from her being raped.
The entire rape scene is just terrible, because it is sooooo long. I mean, first, you thing she's getting raped by the guys from the gas station, and they are there being jerks to her and everything. And she manages to run away, and that got us thinking who is raping her then? Which is bad, because she meets a freakin' police officer, and he says he's going to help her and everything, but he ends up raping her with the gas station gang! And she is raped in, like, 2 or 3 different places. It is awful.
After all that you think she dies, so I though "cool, now she's disturbing them in ghost form, that's why is horror film!"; But no, she is alive indeed and she goes after each one of the 5 man who raped her. Which is fine, they deserved it, but it is very distressing to watch. Because she does tortured them (the last one I didn't really mind though).
~~~ END OF SPOILERS ZONE ~~~
Anyways, if you are anything like me, you probably will not enjoy this movie quite as much as anybody else would. I personally hate seeing rape and torture in any kind of movie - no matter what. So, it was a hard movie for me to watch. Apart from that, this shouldn't be considered a horror movie, because it is not. IT IS A THRILLER. A highly agonizing thriller.

Last week One Direction's Louis Tomlinson was all over the news after he reacted to an article about him on The Independent. The article written by the journalist Jenn Selby, claimed that Louis' was wearing a rainbow Apple shirt in order to support Apple CEO, Tim Cook, who recently came out. x A day after this was published, Louis got on twitter and talked about the article, directing himself to the Journalist: " @JennSelby The fact that you work for such a 'credible' paper and you would talk such rubbish is laughable. I am in fact straight. Google 'original apple logo' and you will see the one printed on my shirt that you reported on. Trying to look for a promotion ? ". And then declared: " Fucking ridiculous I even have to tweet that shit ! ". Just after he tweeted this many fans and articles started to claim Louis was homophobic, since The Independent's article did not say anything directly about his sexuality. Jenn Sel

So, why not have a fun and scary night in with a few friends and/or family! 5. The Blair Witch Project " I'm scared to close my eyes, I'm scared to open them " One of the most classic horror films of all time. If I'm correct it was the first film in which the internet had a major part in promoting it, like by sharing the real story that inspired the film; Since it was promoted as a true story. It is a found footage kind of film and it's absolutely terrifying. The film follows a trio of young film students investigating and filming a documentary about a famous local legend: the Blair Witch. They get lost in the woods, and that's when the nightmare starts. Telling you anything past this point
