Is the world ready for an inverted Rape-Revenge Film?
 

No, I'm not aware of one coming out, but this is something I've been thinking about for a while.

We're at a point in history when the cries of "Men can be raped/women can be rapists!" are finally starting to make some headway. So, I'm wondering: have we reached a point where we, as a society, could produce a rape/revenge film in the vein of I Spit On Your Grave, with a man avenging himself on female attackers? Or would the imagery be too much for current viewers?

Also, could the film be done without reinforcing the Madonna/Whore dichotomy?

::confused::

I'm not sure we live in the same world you and I.

But sure, let's see such a movie.

Most slashers follow this approach, though more subtly. Man exacts revenge on evil women who have done him wrong in the past (Jason, Michael Myers, etc.).

Can you be more specific about the plot you are thinking about? A horde of women gang up and take sexual advantage of a young weak male, who then sets out to massacre them? This seems highly implausible for several reasons....

First reason: The guy victim would most likely seek out the women just to shake their hands. ::big grin::

"Make some headway"? Is there a movement?

Or are you seeking to exorcise some personal demons?

What did women do to Jason and Michael?

Let's face it Pam Vorhees manipulated her soon into killing hundreds of campers. Michael's relationship with women is complex, but IMO his sisters were v. rude to him growing up as a cretin.

Ba-da-bump!

Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of men more than too much "attention" from women....

Have you seen the movie Super? It lays the foundation in a scene for something of this nature...

I just watched a video from the Hodgetwins the other day, about a man who was raped by 3(?) or so women. This happened in Africa I believe, & they held him at gunpoint. I wondered how he felt, or if he thought about revenge you know. Most people make jokes about it, like oh the poor guy. I bet he loved every minute of it. That's just silly. I would be interested in seeing such a film but who's to say if & when that will ever happen.
