Jezebel has a lengthy examination of the feminism in this movie. Just throwing it out there.

Soooo, is it better or worse that they "decide to use her for sex" after they realize she's alive? Because, at first it's necrophilia, but then it's just regular old rape of a live girl strapped to a gurney...

Who thought of this? I need to know, because here's what I'ma do: I'm going to find this asshole's house, break in, tie him up and make him decide whether he wants me to kill him and then ass-rape him or NOT kill him and repeatedly ass-rape him until he BEGS for death. I won't ACTUALLY do it; I just really want to know which is worse, and this is the best way to find out. I'm sure of it.

The only possible way for this movie to redeem itself would be if as soon as the lights when down every chair administered a shock. While on screen a statement came up letting people know that their mothers would be informed that they enjoyed rape movies. Oh and the people who green lit it were forced to watch every Tyler Perry movie for eternity.

Gah. Castration for the owly little douchebag motherfuckers responsible for making any movie where a male character says about a female character -- the fact of said female strapped to a gurney whose mortality is in question notwithstanding -- "we're going to keep her" (0:37). There's clearly no humanity involved in such a project. Ugh.

BTW, Dustin, what's up with entries not showing up in chronological order on the home page? This slotted in under Boozehound's earlier write-up on my browser -- is it just me, or are you punking us with the format some more?

Gag.

Is this supposed to be River's Edge for the facebook set?

When is this trend going to be over?

'Deadgirl' is actually a great flick, and is far less 'tortur porn', and much more 'intense thriller'. I recommend you all check it out.
And also, I do agree that 'torture porn' is crap, but I'm a horror-geek and love me some intense killing and mutilation.
You should really check out 'Martyrs', as this will stop Pajibians from their single-minded hatred of all things 'torture porn'.
I caught both of these movies at this years Toronto Int'l Film Fest and they blew me away.

HAHAHAHA - Come on guys

"We can keep her".

That line alone is laugh out loud funny. I love movies and plot lines that choose, out of all the potential solutions that two people finding a dead girl could pursue, the most asinine and implausible one.

"We could call the cops"
"We could get some help"
"We could pretend this never happened"

Nah none of those, instead
"We could keep her".

And I'm sorry to continue on this but we also have to factor in that there are two of them. Imagine being in high school, finding a dead girl with your friend, and he suggests you keep her for sex. Can you even envision your reaction to that?

"Wait, what did you just say? Dog, did you really just suggest we keep this dead girl for sex? I just told you that I was planning on taking Betty Loo to Makeout Point and now you're suggesting we hang out with a dead girl tied to a gurney. No no no, I'm not going to just forget it, its out there now man, you're a sick fuck bro. Speaking of, why are we even in an abandoned insane asylum, I hear there are six guys pounding a bottle of Stoli Raz in a basement somewhere, lets roll."

hahaha I'm sorry but the fact that this movie continues past that line is ludicrous.

You've just revealed the true horror of this film: that one lone ostensibly dead girl could destroy a bond between two best buds.

This isn't torture porn, you guys. It's a cautionary tale.

I was hoping by now some research would be done as to the real movie and not continuance of superficial knee-jerk holier-than-thou-isms. The movie is a HORROR film about ZOMBIES, not a teen rom-com about two guys in a basement that find a girl they could love if only she was less chained, or more chained up, depending on the guy. She is UNDEAD, but since most people class people in two catagories; living or dead, then yes, she is dead. Suspend your sunday school prissiness and develop your brain, was it cool that Dracula, a dead guy, would gnaw on girl's necks and "rape" them? What about Doc Frankenstein building a woman out of naked dead women for his Monster's pleasure? Wolfman with his animal traits, he is not known for seduction when he jumps a woman at night, is he? How is DEADGIRL different than the other 70 years of monster movies?

Yes chris, as everybody knows, there's no better way to appear edgy and cool (especially on the internet) than to use a LOT of profanity. It's a subtle, yet effective way of saying "I am fucking awesome!". Even while at times the situation might not call for such language, in order to keep one's "edge" sharp, a liberal smattering of profanities is appropriate. My grandmother used to say that people who swore were just showing off their limited vocabulary. But then again, my grandmother isn't as goddamed fucking shit-flinging awesome as I sonofabitching am...

"We Could Keep Her" Guy is totally Dode from Brick.

The fuck dude?

Also, Skitt, I think I love you.

Hey chris, FUCK OFF MOTHERFUCKER.

Skittimus Maximus, P.L.A.A. (I got you a damned credential and you are going to use it), how old are you? At various times I've thought you were anywhere from 10 to 969...today you would have to be at least 40 to be quoting Partridge Family lyrics.

Oh, alright. I'll leave you two kids alone to work your '70s magic...

GREEETINGS! THE MAAATH WIZAAARD HATH DOTH ARRIVETH!

Here's riddle to help you figure out my age, CHE. ENJOYETH! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Add you to me, divide by three,
The square of you, you'll surely see,
But me to you is eight to one,
One day you'll work it out my son.

Intro. tag is for "profundity cred." As in, "Doood, this movie is soo deep."

Short-sighted dreck is more like it.

Next...

And if you say "Hey, go away," I will.

Wait ... better not use that line.

Jesus Christ people.

this many comments and nobody noticed the 'you're movie' in the first sentence?

YOURE MOVIE
YOUR MOVIE
YOURE MOVIE
YOUR MOVIE

"I love ... plot lines that choose ... out of all the potential solutions ... the most asinine and improbable one."

Coco,

You must be a big fan of soap operas, where every decision every character makes is intended to produce the worst possible outcome.

Jeremiah,

I noticed it, but I'm paid fairly well to nitpick grammar for a living. I'm here on my free time, emphasis on "free."

You guys are so gullible. If Skits is 24 then I'm tall as hell. Also, TK's never heard of Big Trouble in Little China and Julie's frigid.

BEHOLDETH! THE MATHETH WIZARD HATHED RETURNS! CONGRATULATIONETH! THE RIDDLE HATH BEEN...

Okay, seriously? I can't do a lick of math to save my ass. How in the hell does that equal twenty four? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just... ah... I just pulled a math riddle out of the clear blue interwebs... Jesus, there's an actual answer? How?!

No, I'm not twenty four - in fact, I'll soon be celebrating my thirteenth birthday. A boy no longer, I have become a man. Just kidding, I'm thirty two. Or forty. I could be twenty eight. Or fifty seven. Or thirty five. Or I might just be... forever NINJA POOF BOMB!

[...vanishes is a cloud of smoke - moments later you hear the squealing of car tires and the rockin' sounds of Stryper...]

Awww,....mmmm let's get some hookers anyway.

And some blow, Slim. Don't forget the blow. And maybe some bud for Minimus, to keep him mellow while all that's goin' down...

Wait... should I pack something a little dressier? I mean, I know this is the road trip of debauchery and all, but I guess I was thinking we could go someplace fancy for a meal or something - y'know, like a Sizzler or something...

And, as a bonus, Minimus just got his license back today! See you later, drunk plates! Whee...

Godtopusdammit, you're like the teacher who makes you show your work. I always hated that shit.

Y=You, M=Me

Add you to me, divide by three,
The square of you, you'll surely see,

(Y + M) / 3 = Y ^ 2

But me to you is eight to one,

M = Y * 8

One day you'll work it out my son.

Substituting 8Y for M in the first equation:

(Y + 8Y) / 3 = Y ^ 2
9Y / 3 = Y ^ 2
3Y = Y ^ 2
3 = Y
Me = You * 8 = 3 * 8 = 24

Since you (Skitt) are "Me" in this little exercise, the algebraically inclined among us would be led to believe that you are 24.

Uh... okay. Not to offend anyone (which this obviously will, provided there are more than the three of us with nothing fucking better to do on a Saturday night), but

Me no speakee da engrish...

I've got trouble enough balancing my checkbook, let alone trying to figure out what crazy bullshit that stuff was... I believe you, don't get me wrong, but you could act the goddamned problem out with action figures, an abbucus and a copy of "Intro to The Magical World Of Mathfuckingmatics" porno, and I'd still gape at you like a cro-magnon who just saw his first firework...

Oh Skits, I'm laughing my ass off at the thought of you in a pink frilly dress at your Bat Mitzvah. Will you sing "I Feel Pretty"?

...unless of course you're feeling a bit more masculine than that, in which case you should probably change the party invites so they say BaR Mitzvah.

That shotgun better be a sawed-off.

I don't have a rack.

'every generation has a story about the horror of growing up'()

I don't know how old Skitt really is, but my generation's story about the horror of growing up was, I dunno, probably "The Breakfast Club."

I don't want to get all cranky-old-lady on the young'uns, so let's just say that if THIS is THEIR generation's story, I think there is cause for concern.

Goddd movies like this make me weep for the future. I can appreciate these After Dark Horrorfest type films (which sadly are not 'too scary for general audiences' they're just too shitty- I saw some of the movies from the 2006 showing; unrest, grave dancers - they were both terrible. I wish I'd seen Penny Dreadful which would scare the hell out of me for no other reason than the fact that I almost died in a car accident too) BUT I don't understand where fun, blood spilling horror has to cross with misogyny to the point of rape being a compelling lure..is this really what they think we enjoy? (we being horror fans) I hope I've squeaked by being a part of "this generation" having been born in '84. This must mean I need to be terrified of the 14 and 15 year olds who come through my workplace pregnant with boys they don't know the last names of. geesh.

Hi guys, I am curious to know how many of you have actually seen the movie.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind at all that everybody speaks their mind aloud, and if you think the movie is crap...well criticize away...
But again, for the sake of clarity I'd love to know how many of you who are giving that film strong criticism (to say the least) have actually seen it or at least spoken with somebody who has.

I truly appreciate informed criticism as well as honest opinions and if this is not the place where I am going to get any it's totally fine for me and I'll go somewhere else for information gathering.
