I'm not new to this sort of garbage. I've seen more than my share of base, low-minded, leering, and frequently repulsive "rape/revenge" thrillers -- from The Last House on the Left (either one) to I Spit On Your Grave (either one) and a dozen others you've probably never even heard of.
I've also seen plenty of dark, disturbing, and devious thrillers, ones that are created by adults, for adults, that deal with the horrific issue of rape, sexual abuse, and the darkest sides of human nature. Films like Straw Dogs, Deliverance, The Hills Have Eyes. Irreversible, Martyrs, Kidnapped, and A Serbian Film. I can tell when rape is being used as a metaphor, as an inciting act, or as an excuse to wallow in misery, suffering, and degradation. Trust me when I say that the virtually worthless I Spit On Your Grave 2 represents the lowest of the low.
