Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviewers Describe A Scene In Which A Teenage Boy Covers A Teenage Girl’s Mouth As She Screams No, Bangs Her Head Against A Rock and Then Rapes Her As She Slips Into Unconsciousness
She has put herself in a dicky situation
His baser urges take control
He succumbs to temptation
He Gets horny
Gets a tad bit impatient
Is a little too forward
Is an unprincipled horndog
Just can’t keep those shorts on
sex-crazed demons that we
are men
just can’t stop trying to degrade
our heroine
And when the rapist is castrated
This is very much a female empowerment film
every male in the theater will cross his legs in empathy
he seems genuinely hurt–
by the rejection
as much as the castration. In a bloody,
nightmarish, young-romantic way,
it’s kind of
touching.
