Although these two movies, are classified as more beloging in the Horror gerne, i see a similair theme in these
two revenge movies
The Last House on the left(1972)
and
I Spit on youre grave(1978) the orginal version
and Death Wish.Taking justice in youre own hands. I must admit
that they are not
verry pleasant movies to watch.
The Last House on the left was the notorious debut
movie of the later Night on Elmstreet director Wes
Craven. To some people its just a disgusting exploitation
flick. Because of its graphic rape and torture scenes.
In some movie theatres riots brooke out ,when the
picture was shown. The story, for such a controversial
movie, for whom who doesnt known, is quit simple.
Two girls Mary and Phylis are abducted, by a gang of
psychos, who broke out from prison, under the leader ship
from Krug Stillo (a verry strong rol from David Hess). The
girls are abused and than killed. After that, their car breaks down and the gang seeks refuge, in the house of the parents
of Mary. After they find out, they have the killers of their
child under there roof, they take justice in their own hands
in a way Paul Kersey would be proud of. Its not verry
civilized, but it gave a feeling of pleasure when the parents
gave the scum what they deserved.
But there is more to the movie, its also a reflection
of the end of the 'innocents' of the flower power
utopia of the 1960's.And a n outlet for the frustrations of director Craven. The woul dream of 'free love'
and 'revolution' proved to one big joke.
I Spit on youre grave, the orginal one, tells
the story of an New York female writer(Camile Keaton) who seeks
rest and inspiration in the country, to finish
her book. But local thugs start to stalk and mobbing
her. Finaly she is raped and beaten and left for
dead. But she survives. After that , she vows to
get even and in a Death Wish-Dirty Harry way she
kills the men who abused her.
The movie was the targed of lot a critics
who labeld it as 'sexist' and 'offensive'
Indeed the rape scenes are hard to watch
but after that you on the victims side when
she hunts down and kills here tormentors.
What is youre opinion on these movies?
