Look, I'm no prude, but I found this flick to be disgusting and terribly exploitative toward women. It takes a lot to get to me when it comes to horror, but this went too far.
shareNah, it's a throwback to a time before everyone got uptight about the portrayal of women being 100% positive.
shareYeah, this movie disgusted the hell out of me. A, because some crapbag loser is killing women because he could never get a date. He could never get a date because, B, he's a lard arse who's made no effort to ever better himself and actually be attractive to women. Oh, but somehow he's a super-saavy tech master that knows how to be a digital magician, yet could never figure out how to be a decent enough guy to actually ever get laid.
These movies are hard to enjoy because the PIS (plot induced stupidity) factor is through the roof. For example, when the two girls hit him over the head and he's down, WHY ONLY HIT HIM ONE TIME??? Just hit him, oh, 100 times...i.e. until he's dead. Boom. Movie over. But no. He's up 5 seconds after they hit him....aaaand he's back to killing.
Of course, he has the 'secret tunnel magic' effect, where he can rapidly and undetectedly arrive in any location in a split second, yet never crosses the path of anyone who can stop him. Oh, and of course, everyone is universally UNAWARE of what's going on, greatly separated, even though there's like, 2 dozen people in a general location. And the wannabe Michael Myers look. Oh, please.
Again, hard to enjoy. Almost impossible to enjoy.
He's really fast for a guy that's never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever worked out in his life. Just ran everyone down like he was Usain Bolt.

When we're thinking about our own brain, would that be a mental paradox??

this is accurate though
i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners

I actually thought the film was the opposite. It doesn't paint women who do porn in a negative light. It doesn't denigrate them in any way. It just portrays that some women actually ENJOY doing sexual thing like this for gratification.
Plus, it's a slasher film. The basis of slashers is hot girls getting hacked up.
I don't feel enough for you to cry.
Oh well.
This movie degrades women and gives a very unrealistic view of the porn industry.
This movie is for the shallow minded males who have no idea what is real and what is fantasy.
Except women gave the movie a higher rating than all us shallow-minded males. Not much, but it's higher.
shareWe just had to have the obligatory virtue-signaling thread. Things wouldn't be complete without it.
As an aside to this, it isn't as if political correctness hadn't made major inroads into the entertainment industry already, but luckily the danger that every movie, every book, every graphic novel, etc. will become totally bland, inoffensive and suffused with Marxist tropes is relatively small. This stuff simply doesn't sell most of the time and the entertainment industry is usually only infatuated with socialism and everything it has appropriated as long as it doesn't impinge on its profits.
I have read that Marvel, which makes all these wildly successful superhero movies, has experienced a nigh catastrophic slump in the sales of its comics last year. Apparently it has transformed almost its entire line into a collection of preachy PC & SJW screeds, replacing iconic characters with new incarnations deemed more suitable to this new direction. Evidently, this has backfired rather noticeably, and I for one consider that very good news.
Apparently you have trouble deciphering between reality and fantasy, killampeter.
This isn't a documentary. This was just a movie, not reality. I see you needed someone to explain that to you.
Get over yourself and cry about something else.
You maybe best to rewatch the film as, if any, it was disgustingly cruel and terribly exploitative towards men. It portrayed men as monetary commodities that are there to be fooled and played with and went way too far- but that's how films always portray men.
shareQuite the opposite - the female characters were smarter than most slasher movie victims (the girl smashing her way out of the sauna, playing dead to strike back at the killer), were prepared to rescue one another, and weren't competitive and nasty as they're so often portrayed as in body count horror (save for the girl in the prologue). They also made it fairly clear that they knew what the gig was and were just there to make a buck. The final girl saved herself without any help from men.
Despite all the reverse-IP tracking etc. that the men did, it ultimately didn't help anyone survive. The male characters were pretty quickly disposed of or, in the cases of those watching online, were entirely helpless.
Also, very few people of either gender come off well in a slasher flick - it's all bad decision making bar whomever survive it. I'd say this one was actually a little more progressive when it came to female empowerment - I was cheering her on when she beat the crap out of him at the end.
