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?
