"Unnecessary boob shots"


You set a horror movie in a sorority house. That's a MUCH more stereotypical setting for a horror movie than, say, an old-age home or a fat farm, and there's probably a REASON for that. The actresses you cast all range from pretty hot to really hot. The establishing scenes show them in their underwear or wrapped in towels and flashing each other with their back to the camera (and what real reason do girls have to flash each other anyway?), or some of the girls sneaking into the bathroom with a video camera while another girl is in the bath. This is all in the first 30 minutes. Gee, why would anybody expect any female nudity. It's not like when you make a movie where everyone is waving guns around, you expect a gun battle. It's not like when one person is following another person and they're both driving souped-up cars, you expect a car chase.

Then at one point a character makes the comment about an "unnecessary boob shot" (which isn't really a boob shot since she's really only admiring her no doubt surgically enhanced cleavage in a mirror). This is obviously a thump on the nose of all the male "pervs" expecting female nudity in this movie. And, to be fair, there later is an "unnecessary boob shot" except it is totally "necessary", if not believable, because the protagonists are trying to determine if their victim has fake breasts by cutting them off.

This is what is so ANNOYING about modern horror movies. Of course, they can NOT have sex or female nudity. But whether they do or not, why promise way more than you're going to deliver? Why have constant set-ups for female nudity with no pay off? Why have an entire cast of hot sorority girls with surgically enhanced breasts, most of whom aren't great actresses, if you're NOT going to show much T and A. This is a totally unnecessary movie made by a bunch of boobs, so forgive me for expecting more "unnecessary boob shots".

But you still watched the whole thing right? It's the anticipation of seeing it that keeps people watching until the end...

A complete waste of time, then? I was expecting a typical, good B-rate movie, but if it's a waste of time, then, ehhh.

That's the modern horror movie for ya! Desexualized puritan crap.

Except none of the actresses were that attractive. NONE were close to hot. The 2 psychos were average. The shorter one was homely and her ass in lingerie was dumpy and hard to look at. The movie was crap.

I know this is old (which sucks that there is no IMDb the OP will never see this)

Unfortunately without the Boobs horror movies would have no appeal to certain people. Obviously as a girl I don't need them. But to me a boob is a boob since I have them myself. They may as well be a leg.

It's weird you are this mad about not seeing them and feel cheated that you were set up. Because sadly it's not just about you. This director/writer wanted something different. You probably feel Kind of how "Date Rapists" feel when a girl is half naked and then won't put out (Not to blame the victim but I get it in a way. I don't dress like that because i DO NOT want to be flirted with and have no interest in turning on a guy just to put him thru torture if I am not going to go forward. It's not like we don't know how guys feel. Would we dangle raw meat in front of a dog and then not let him have it?? NO, because that would be cruel. Now if I wanted sex then yes I would dress that way. imo.)

As girls we are always disappointed. We get nothing when it comes naked guys. Ever. They throw us a butt once in a while but never a penis. But we have become used to that as women. The world is not about us and God Forbid we WANT anything we get labeled Feminists. But lo there is always porn.

Which is why I am never having kids. Our world is crap.
