Outside of porno theaters, where would films like this be shown, certainly not on even cable TV? But yeah it did a 70s low budget look.Jakesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589306218906845495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-87381843935968153882011-05-23T18:42:27.315-04:002011-05-23T18:42:27.315-04:00Thanks Emily!

Bitch Run! does, then I think there could be a lot more decent throwbacks then there are now. I do enjoy some of them, but mostly they are tiresome and lack any sort of charm.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-29800672802288672922011-05-23T07:16:42.410-04:002011-05-23T07:16:42.410-04:00Great review Matt.

I kind of admire this film, but I personally just didn't care for it. I totally get what they were going for and think they came closer than a lot of bigger budgeted retrosploitation flicks.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-13476119118306674052011-05-22T01:46:13.899-04:002011-05-22T01:46:13.899-04:00M. Hufstader: Thanks a lot!

It's decent for what it is, and so long as you have an idea what you're getting into, you should be semi-entertained by it.<br /><br />Xploit: I can't say I don't love me some naked ladies! It certainly does come a lot closer to an Exploitation film than either Planet Terror or Death Proof, though, I do find that both of those films stand on their own outside of being Exploitation throwbacks. <br /><br />Anon: Oh, wow. The IMDB score of 2.2 is certainly enticing, and the screen shoots and clips I found don't hurt any either! Sounds like my cup of crap!<br /><br />Aaron: I love the idea of such a resurgence and how the Exploitation style has influenced some filmmakers, but more often than not, most of the shit put out is just that. Shit. I am pretty excited for Hobo, however, I was pretty excited for Black Dynamite, too, a film that I didn't necessarily dislike, but it wasn't all that great outside of a few funny moments and MJW's performance. <br /><br />Metro: Thanks, man, and I'll definitely check out your review! I agree for the most part. For what it is, it does a decent enough job, but it does lack in a few areas that make a good rape/revenge film a good rape/revenge film. Still, Run! Bitch Run! does a much better job at feeling like an Exploitation film than most others that are put out these days. And I am like you, I'm a sucker for throwbacks, but it's so often that they are not at all what we hope they will be. <br /><br /> Dorian: That is a great cast. I looked into it a little and a trailer didn't come up, but I'll keep my eyes and ears perked for it. <br /><br />I am a big fan of the original I Spit on Your Grave. Haven't seen the remake, but I do plan on doing so soon with moderate expectations. I actually really liked the remake of The Last House on the Left, mostly because it did some things to separate itself from the original (which is one of my favorite exploitation films) by fixing the problems found within the that film. <br /><br />As for Death Wish 2, the best way to cleanse your palate after a multiple rape scene is to watch both Death Wish 3 and 4…trust me, you will feel okay by the end!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-56159179665850911152011-05-22T00:25:05.568-04:002011-05-22T00:25:05.568-04:00Whoops, that should read House on the Edge of the ...Whoops, that should read House on the Edge of the Park, my bad.

As far as rape/revenge goes, the most recent ones that I've watched were both versions of I Spit on Your Grave and Hitch-Hike. I'm still waiting to see Death Weekend (which I can watch anytime on YouTube actually) and House By the Edge of the Park.<br /><br />As you can tell I don't really have a problem with this genre of movies either (for the most part) because the rapists get what's coming to them. The one exception is Death Wish 2--ugh, I saw that as a 12 year old girl (what can I say, my mom was pretty liberal when it came to movies) and was traumatized after seeing the sleazy multiple rape scenes! Yikes! <br /><br />I'm not sure if this was the movie that Aaron was talking about, but there is a new r/r movie in the works called Skinny Dip starring Sasha Grey, Michael Madsen, Pam Grier, Danny Trejo and Brigette Nielsen--how about that cast?--that is definetely in the exploitation vein. There is an article about the movie on FanGirlTastic, which is where I read about it.Dorian Graynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-58092264772883422722011-05-21T11:13:59.124-04:002011-05-21T11:13:59.124-04:00Nice review.

I'm kind of a sucker for the whole "throwback" thing, although I admit there are a fair share of them that aren't done very successfully. Still, I thought this one worked pretty admirably.<br /><br /><a href="http://midnitemedia.blogspot.com/2010/12/run-bitch-run-2009.html" rel="nofollow">My review</a>, if you're interested.<br /><br />--J/MetroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-58520986658655581812011-05-21T07:10:36.356-04:002011-05-21T07:10:36.356-04:00"One of the many problems that come with recr..."One of the many problems that come with recreating a style of film from the past (specifically with independent features) can be the filmmakers try way too hard to make something that really cannot be easily recreated in this day in age."<br /><br />That pretty much sums up how I feel about the trend of exploitation/grindhouse tribute films that have been popping up. I have high hopes for HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN because of all the positive things I've heard about it, but a few of the movies I've seen from this exploitation renaissance have been shit. Your review of this one has me curious, though. There's another recent rape/revenge movie that I read about in HorrorHound magazine and wanted to check out, but I can't remember the name of it.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153426751208051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-24552900119934384332011-05-21T01:11:13.243-04:002011-05-21T01:11:13.243-04:00lobo was the name of a character from cannibal hoo...lobo was the name of a character from cannibal hookers a movie so bad you just have to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-89434370203037430672011-05-21T01:02:24.448-04:002011-05-21T01:02:24.448-04:00I actually liked it for what it was.

Your review does seem a little ambivalent to the actual film itself. But maybe if I go into it knowing that the rape scene is half assed, I'll enjoy it a little better. Great review!M.
