My God, who dreams up these stories!? Electricuting giant vulvas? I was raised on the 'Haunted house on the hill' where in the cinema, at crucial points in the narrative, a plastic skull would rattle across the audience on a wire and me and my mates would throw rubbish at it. What do these kind of movies tell us about the culture we live in?

I asked myself the same question upon finishing this film. Right after, "Why, God, why?" But to answer your second and much more powerful question, they tell us a lot about our willingness to tolerate extreme acts of sadistic violence toward women.

And the planet. I lived in NYC for 17 years and I think it has a lot to do with the US' complete denial of its past,of genocide and slavery and confirmed in front of the entire world with the USIsrael slaughter taking place. It has to end! And I think movies like this one, sorta sublimate the horror, remove it from real life, turn it into 'entertainment' or is it 'infotainment?
