Any other guys tired of castration scenes? Even when voilence against women is protrayed on film, you hardly ever see it on screen, it's always cut away before the graphic stuff happens (watch Hostel 2) but violence against men is totally fine. Im over it
shareI really didn't get the post-feminist, castration fantasy vibe here. I just thought it was just a bad film.
shareI would dare say that the "man-hating" genre is simply psychologically and sociologically necessary if only to create 'balance'. Something that the 1970s and most of the 80s have been gravely deprived...unfortunately ?

It was created by men. The director was a man, as were all four of the writers.

"Always cuts away"
Really? What about the Scream trilogy (Tatum's gruesome death comes to mind), Saw, any zombie movie ever where the woman is torn to bits. Last House on the Left was pretty graphic, ISOYG, Wrong Turn, Halloween, Green Inferno, etc etc
Cabin Fever if you want to go down that road for horror movies. The list could go on for hours. There's also the myriad of nudity in horror movies that's predominantly female - which sometimes also happens while there is violence against said woman.
That's the most idiotic statement I've ever heard.
There's plenty of acts of violence against women in horror movies. Maybe it's always the slutty best friend, but come on. It's there.
The fact that it’s often the “slutty friend” makes it even more disturbing. Horror movies are known for the “let’s violently punish the girl we think is too slutty” trope.
shareYou obviously have no clue what you’re talking about.
Violence against women in movies, has been graphic for decades. That’s not even including rape scenes. The horror genre by itself, is responsible for a lot of this. Just look at the posters or dvd covers for many horror films. You’ll often find a scantily clad young woman, who looks to be in extreme danger.
The vast majority of serial killers are male. That’s a fact. This movie is about serial killers being stopped. That’s all. Oh and the guy in Hostel 2 was shot in the genitals, by his almost rape/murder victim. That movie was about misogynistic men, who wanted to torture young women and you claim it was sexist against men?
You have issues.
I don't remember any of the murderers of 20 women being castrated. The first one got an axe to the chest, the second got his ass kicked and was finished off with a rock to his skull, the third was strangled, and the fourth one hanged himself. And this "violence against men" was to four brutal murderers who hunted down and killed 20 women. Yet no thought that these four killers were "woman-hating" men? Wow. This movie wasn't about four innocent helpless men who were violently killed by a man-hating woman. They got their much deserved comeuppance.
If you are that butthurt as a man to see other men (like you?) get what was coming to them, then I STRONGLY advise you to stay away from the film "I Spit on Your Grave". You'll be upset that your buddies were schooled by a woman too. Grow a pair, or pray that they get larger, among other things. Have a nice day.
