Rape and Revenge Films

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:54:31 -0800

These exploitation films are about a woman who is raped, left for dead, recovers and then later extracts an incredibly graphic, gory revenge against the person/persons who raped her. It is common for the main character in these films to be a successful, independent woman from the city, who is attacked by a horrible man from the country.

Here’s a look at the best known rape and revenge films:

I Spit on Your Grave (1978): This is hands down the most famous of all rape and revenge films. It follows Jennifer, a writer who leaves the city to finish the novel she is working on. She hires a riverside apartment in upstate New York to finish her book, attracting the attention of a number of unruly male locals. They catch her one day, strip her naked and rape her. Jennifer is later attacked and raped a further two times by the four miscreants, and her novel is also destroyed. But Jennifer slowly recovers and in her now-twisted and psychotic mind, she then begins to seek revenge on the four men who raped her.

The Last House on the Left (1972): In some rape and revenge cases, the woman is killed at the beginning of the movie, and the revenge is then carried out by her family, like in this film. In The Last House on the Left a gang of rapists and murderers kidnap and butcher two teenagers and then, unknowingly, seek refuge with the parents of one of the victims. The parents soon learn about what the gang has done, and they get their revenge.

Baise-moi (2000): Baise-moi tells the story of Nadine and Manu – Manu is brutally raped and Nadine sees her only friend shot. After a chance encounter, the two women embark on a bloody and horrific journey of sex and murder. This film stirred a whole lot of controversial for its violence and real sex scenes.

Kill Bill 3

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:06:28 -0800

Here's the Spoof Trailer

The latest grindhouse news is that Quentin Tarantino is working on a third Kill Bill movie. IMDB.com says that the movie will come out in 2014 and that Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah are already set to star in the film.

Kill Bill is one story divided into two movies with five chapters each. It follows The Bride, a former member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. She tries to leave the group and ends up getting married in Texas. The Viper Squad and their leader Bill find her, and the poor pregnant Bride gets shot. She doesn’t die, but instead goes into a coma; she loses the baby and wakes up four years later. She vows revenge and makes a hit list of all the people who assaulted her that day in Texas.

Kill Bill is one epic revenge story, with homages to earlier film genres, such as exploitation films, Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese Chanbara films and even Italian spaghetti westerns. On top of that, the two films are packed full of bloody gore and violence. Fans of grindhouse loved the Kill Bill movies and will no doubt love a third one.

Here’s hoping the third film will be as amazing as the first two.

Psyco

gena — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:19:55 -0800

Psycho is probably one of the best horror movies that makes sense! This movie, although not as violent as i expected to be, is intense in a way that it produces a psychological effect on its viewers. Of Course, I have always like most most of Alfred Hitchcock's films.

Nazisploitation

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 04:06:10 -0800

Nazisploitation is a subgenre of exploitation film that involves twisted Nazis torturing prisoners at death camps or brothels during World War II. Nearly all of them are very sexual in nature and focus on women in death camps or Nazi brothels, which are packed full of gore, sadism and degradation. Salon Kitty, a real Berlin brothel that was used by the SD for espionage purposes before and during World War II, inspired countless nazisploitation films.

Here’s a look at a few of the most influential nazisploitation films:

Love Camp 7 (1969): This film follows two female British officers who volunteer to enter a Nazi camp undercover in order to gain information from, and possibly rescue, an inmate. The camp’s female inmates serve as prostitutes for German officers and are subjected to torture, degradation and rape. When the female agents learn that their target is being held in solitary confinement, one of them arranges to be punished so that she can make contact. This leads to her to be stripped and strung up by her wrists. What follows is a hell of a battle.

Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS (1974): Ilsa is an evil Nazi warden at a death camp that conducts “medical experiments” on the prisoners. Ilsa’s goal is to prove that woman can withstand more pain and agony than men and therefore should be allowed to fight on the front lines. She also has a ravenous sexual appetite – every night she would choose one of her male prisoners and rape him. However, due to her insatiable lust, she gets frustrated when her current victim eventually ejaculates, and promptly has him castrated.

Last Orgy of the Third Reich (1977): About Lise Cohen, a woman taken to a special camp for female Jews, a camp run as a brothel to entertain the German officers and troops going in to battle. The camp is run with an iron fist by Commandant Starker and his minion Alma. Starker becomes irritated when Lise shows no fear, and devises cruel ways to scare her, to no avail. Lise then begins to play Starker’s game, but even though her life improves, she doesn’t forget the horrors she has seen and experienced.

Death Proof Movie

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 06:10:15 -0800

The Rob Zombie/Quentin Tarantino ‘Grindhouse’ collaboration was a tribute to everything 70′s; both films were a retrophile’s wet-dream. Naturally, this is what we’ve chosen to kick-off our reviews with, because the Death Proof/Planet Terror duo started a resurgence of the grindhouse trend, and a renewed interest in trash and exploitation cinema. Since I believe in doing things in alphabetical order whenever possible, we’re going to start the Grindhouse review with Death-Proof, –and we’re doing them in two parts because they’re two different films. Lumping them together just doesn’t do them any justice.

Death Proof is similar to Planet Terror in a couple ways; they both manage to pack in as much vintage and retro stuff as possible, and they pile different exploitation themes as well. Death Proof manages to pull off sexploitation (barely), hixploitation, blaxploitation, vigilante, revenge-sploitation, shocksploitation, but most importantly, carsploitation.

There is no sex in Death Proof, so you’re probably saying, ‘wtf?’ Point being, there’s a lot of in your face cockteasing in the film. We’ve got a ton of profanity, shock-value violence, but no tits? And yet, they manage to toss in a lapdance. Kind of unfair, really. The hixploitation bit, –all I have to do is point to Jasper, in the second half of the film; yet another depiction of a perverse southerner. Blaxploitation; I’m not pointing to Jungle Julia here, more in Kim’s direction. She’s the classic vigilante black woman; she carries a gun, doesn’t take shit, loves cars and works as a stunt driver. What a woman!

The vigilante action doesn’t kick up until the fourth quarter, along with some light revenge-sploitation. Shock-sploitation is also kind of light; we don’t see a lot of really graphic violence, but it is there. Example, Julia’s leg coming off, and Pam’s short ride in Stuntman Mike’s passenger seat, or Butterfly’s loss of face, –these were brutal, and pretty shocking, but fairly short, which is why the shock-sploitation is a minor element. Carsploitation is where it’s at; the entire film focused on one badass car, the murder weapon even. In the end, there was the white car vs. black car, good vs. evil, Kowalski vs. ‘the man.’

The muscle cars featured in order of appearance are:

1971 Chevy Nova: Featuring the same, charming license plate as Bullitt’s Mustang, ‘JIZ 109′, Mike’s Chevy is fearsome. He also has the same Daffy Duck hood ornament as Rubber Duck has on his RS700L Mack truck in Convoy.

1972 Chevy Mustang: Is there any polite way to say that this car will make your pussy wet? It was the first in the pony car class, even though it was like Frankenstein’s experiment, composed of leftover parts.

1969 Dodge Charger: Also known as General Lee, the Charger in Death Proof references several different films, –just because the 69 Charger was used in numerous chase scenes. Most notable, its license plate is the same as the Charger’s from Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, ’938 DAN.’

1970 Dodge Challenger: Kowalski’s car, the white Challenger is probably one of the most memorable cars in existence. But its appearance was a little less genuine than the others; the Challenger was built with frameless windows, originally. The car had to be modified for the ship’s mast stunt.

Another interesting point about the cars; for some reason, Mike is always driving an older car than the girls in the latter half of the film. His being a lot older, and kind of washed up, seems to drive the ‘old vs. new’ metaphor home poetically.

Nun of That (Nunsploitation)

I'm laughing my ass off at this wonderful nunsploitation flick. The Jesus song is fantastic, check it out here. It happens about 18 minutes into the film, after one of the nuns get killed. It's a great campy piece of fun. Crime fighting hit-nuns.

Check out this "Religious Vampire Thriller" book project on Kickstarter. I think it might make a great movie!

http://kck.st/oPrJhV

It has a "Queen of the Damned" sort of feel, but God is one of the main characters! They are also looking for artists and editors to help finish the book. So you creative-types out there, go for it!

Rawhead Rex...

diabolique — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:25:42 -0800

This movie has always seemed to be a blend of both the legend of Bigfoot with undertones of "An American Werewolf in London." Directed by George Pavlou in 1986, this film depicts and Irish farmer who accidentally releases a morbid beast from his underground tomb. The creature, in turn, proceeds to rain havoc among the natives.

It rates a 6 on the "Cheesetacular" scale, but the director seems to make the best out of the obviously low budget.

Machete

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:12:39 -0800

In true grindhouse fashion Machete graces us with an intense opening action sequence, the tension obvious when we see Danny Trejo (Machete) driving at high speeds across the Mexican landscape disobeying orders. The bullets fly and the body count begins almost immediately, this of course would not be as impressive as one might believe, until you see the very naked woman, a flamethrower, and believe it or not Steven Seagal as a villain!

From there this movie only proceeds to get better, Robert Rodriguez has certainly created another film that will wind up a cult classic. With all-star acting, action that doesn’t quit, and a high level of humour, Machete will keep you entertained from opening to closing credits. With the right amount of gore, some Michelle Rodriguez side-boob, more than one appearance of Lindsay Lohan’s tits, a doobie smoking priest played by Cheech Marin, and Robert DeNiro playing a corrupt senator, this movie does not fail to deliver everything a Grindhouse fan could ask for. Even if you are not a fan of the genre, I highly recommend this one.

Pornochanchada

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:33:54 -0800

Exploitation film genres are weird; pornochanchada is fun, though soft-core, and more than a little entertaining. However, when you spell it out, it sounds more than a little weird. This is the scenario: A friend comes over, asks what you’re watching. You say, “pornochanchada”, and try to explain the genre. “Oh, it’s soft-core, Brazilian porn comedy.” “…huh?” That would be correct; pornochanchada is soft-core Brazilian porn with a comedic twist. Sao Paolo, one of those cities we’re constantly being subjected to tourist commercials about, is where pornochanchada was invented, –later on, the films were produced and filmed in one of the most crime saturated cities on the planet. Pornochanchada is probably one of the most benign things to come out of Brazil.

Two of the most famous actresses to be involved in pornochanchada are Vera Fischer and Sônia Braga. Vera Fischer was a Brazilian Playboy model, and was best known for her role in a Brazilian adaptation of The Graduate, A Primeira Noite de Um Homem in 2004, and the classic pornochanchada “A Superfêmea” released in 1973. Sônia Braga is still a very prominent Brazilian actress; she’s recently accepted a role in the Brazilian version of Desperate Housewives, and even her niece, Alice Braga, has been in big budget films, such as I Am Legend, with Will Smith.

One of the most popular pornochanchadas is O Bem Dotado, 1978, about a shy country boy from a little town called Itu. For some reason, everything in Itu is unnaturally large. He’s invited to work in the home of a rich woman in the city; she eventually gets a look at his huge er… qualities. Another, is Lua-de-Mel e Amendoim, 1971, about the exploits of two young men in Brazil; the film is segmented, so one guy gets the camera for one segment, the other, in the next segment.

I made this for the "Hobo with a Shotgun Trailer Contest" and did real well with it. It also screened before my horror short "Doll Boy" in Dallas at the Texas Frightmare Weekend. The audience loved it. Enjoy!

Ozploitation Films

maniac — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 06:32:36 -0800

Ozploitation films are Australian exploitation films that were produced during the 1970s and 1980s. They covered a variety of genres, like sexploitation, biker films, horror films and even some Kung.

Here’s a look at some of the best known ozploitation films:

Mad Max (1979): The film’s lead role is played by the then unknown Mel Gibson. Set in the future, Mad Max tells the story of a destroyed society, murder and vengeance.

Alvin Purple (1973): A sex-filled comedy about the misadventures of the naïve Alvin Purple whom women find irresistible. He must try to resist all of the many women who want him. Heis so worn-out he seeks psychiatric help to solve his problems. His psychiatrist is a woman (of course) and he falls in love with her since she’s the first woman not to throw herself at him.

Long Weekend (1978): The story follows couple Peter and Marcia, who, along with their dog, go for a weekend camping trip. The pair show inconceivable disrespect for nature, such as polluting, killing an innocent dugong, throwing lit cigarette butts in dry bush, spraying insecticide and more. As tensions between the couple builds, nature is not pleased with their environmental misconduct and starts to strike back.
