So I keep hearing about this 70s controversial cult horror classic, and decided to check it out.
SPOILERS
I felt that the movie had a very misandrist feel to it perhaps. I know that it's about one woman who wants revenge on the men that raped her of course, but it feel misandrist in the sense that there was not one good male character in the movie to balance things out. They are all evil, which makes it come off that way to me.
The movie was written by a man though, so I would assume he didn't intend it to be a knock against though, even though that's what it came off as.
The villains in the movie are also stupid. I mean none of these guys think that it's odd how she seduces them back after, as if they are not expecting it to possibly be any sort of trick at all.
I mean how can a guy have sex with a woman, and not notice at all, that she is putting a noose around his neck during the sex?
And later, how can a guy take a bath with a woman and not notice that is bringing a knife into the bathtub, when she is right there in front of him with the knife?
It just seemed so poorly written to have not only stupid villains but to have this misandrist feel by not having any non-evil male characters.
But what do you think, perhaps I am looking at it wrong?
