How bad is the rape scene

If you feel so strongly then don't see the film.

I didn't know there would be a rape scene so I was taken aback. I think it was gratituous and really ruins the film. It's not really graphic but it's disturbing.

I completely agree and its good to see other people who are disgusted by it too. There is two rape scenes in the movie and neither of them serve a single purpose. I kind of ranted for a second on this in our review of the movie because Im sick of seeing it...... Have it off camera or mention that it happened there is no reason to show it.. If you can't show how ugly the situation is without resort to rape or killing kids than you don't need to be making horror movies.

you dont see anything with the rape. yes it happens, yes it makes sense, especially when you see all the crazy stuff done to everyone else.

this movie is GOOD. you know why? you will DEFINITELY have an emotional reaction to it.

It's entirely used as a point of moral conflict (and exploited later when there is a reveal at the end of the film).

The idea is would you risk your life to save someone you just met from rape. One guy, who's been an *beep* up to now, decides he will. The scene is less about the rape and more about the moral decisions to help others in need. The film does this through many extreme situations. The girl being raped has just had to decide
whether or not to help a person she just met who is trapped under debris.

The scene is perhaps made more intense because she has just gone on about her son and others had said to her how strong she is and proud of her he must be. But in the scene the act of rape is not exploited, feels awful and does not glorify rape in any way. The second rapist dies horribly.

The movie does not have rape in it to 'sell the movie'. It has rape as an exploration of the worst things people do to each other; as part of exploring how far people go to help or hurt each other in a terrible disaster-like situation. In doing that it uses extremes of human nature.

I would not recommend this movie unless you want to be tested in that way. It's not a very 'fun' movie, but it never claims to be, so you have to deal with what it is or ignore it. That's your own choice.

im 100% agaisnt rape and violence towards women, this type of act shouldnt be allowed in movies, i find if such act is filmed, the movie should be banned totally and distoryed

There was no need for the double rape scene.

This is avery curious movie, it takes so much time in introducing the characters who are not very likeable anyway and then decides to dispatch them in various gruesome ways.

It's a shame because in amongst the mess there is a decent disaster / horror movie trying to get out. In the hands of a better film maker and a better script, this may have succeeded. The ending was quite good if completely predictable.

Quit being a puss. Of course the MPAA doesnt care, someone has to pull your safety blanket off and show you how society functions. 15 girls probably got raped while I was writing this reply. Welcome to Earth.
