Scary Movie Marathon

Since the day I was born I had sworn off horror films! Since starting this class I am able to look at them from a different point of view, the writers and the directors. Ok, so this halloween I was determined to watch a few/ forced to watch one in particular; which were: I Spit on your Grave (1978) Halloween (1978) Wrong Turn (2003). I'll start with "I Spit on your Grave," I wasn't too sure what to expect from this movie from just the title so after the 101 excruciating mins all I can say about this film is ... AAAHHHHH!!! It's said to have the most graphic rape scenes known to the horror film genre, being new to this genre I could see why! She's raped numerous times & still seduces them while seeking revenge. This was a horror film that put the viewer in her shoes & made you feel horrible for even watching them rape her & not being able to tell on those pervert, heartless, moral-less, creeps!!! & then showing you her rage in how she killed them it was scary but not like in "Wrong Turn" where these guys are imbreed sick "humans" just killing people to feed themselfs. The villans in this movie were (to me anyway) more "costumey" more fiction-based. Yes, these guys were in a terrifying situation but again in my opinion your chances of being eaten in the woods by crazy people are 1/100,000,000,000... (if that's a #). & last but not least after being teased with clips of it in class I finally watched the entire 1st original "Halloween" which by surprise did not give me nightmares :) It was pretty entertaining, I liked the storyline. It did seem a little slow compared to "Wrong Turn" but would recommend it for sure! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
