how about the wonderfully disturbing film I Spit On Your Grave? Yes RED FLAG. RED FLAGS are usually creepy beep thats what is so amazing! I do not like this film, because I find it boring and stupid, but not do to some gender war. I do not hate men nor women or anything. But I do not see why people focus on gender or anything like that in horror films. What ever gets you disturbed, outraged or scared (and you are obviously outraged by this film) would make a wonderful horror film. Ive seen Irreversible and I spit on your Grave and Cannibal Holocaust, Happiness, Mondo Cane, Pink Flamingoes and Sweet Movie, A Serbian Film, Last house on Your Left and Last Shift, Seul Contre Tous, Martyrs, Calvaire and Alleluija, Men Behind The Sun Megan is Missing and Haute Tension (blabla so on), and it might just be because I am a woman, that those crazy rape/female hatred/unempowering scenes are so creepy to me as a woman that I find them to be amazing horror films, Though as listed in that short list some films are also abusive towards men primarely, I still find them haunting and scary! Just be glad you finally found a film, that you as a man can feel truly abused by, and shocked to the bone! But if you want a film were men and women get abused equally, go watch Salo O Le 120 Giornatte Di Sodoma, and yes that is also terrifying and disturbing, even for both genders I would argue!
once again, I dont like this film though. But I think the "abuse towards men" argument is kinda useless. If the film is disturbing or creepy, no matter the gender, religion or sexuality, it has somehow fulfilled its main purpose, well or not. -

It's not insulting to men. Men just make up most of the worlds rapists and sex offenders, I was just surprised it took so long for her character to find one.
Only ever given 2 films 10/10

Actually the numbers are pretty even, you just hear less about the womenat least you used to.
Seem to read/hear a whole lot about teachers being perverts with teenage boys, or that mother/son incest couple in texas, .or other things.
Evil men prosper when more evil men trick the good men into assisting their nefarious allies. -

I don't think it was insulting to men. But I think if the genders were reversed there would be outcry, and the producer and everyone involved with the project would have been vilified.
The men were literally pieces of meat to her.
I have no problem with men or women being objectified. It's the hypocrisy of many feminists that bothers me.
I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe -

Eh? You've just agreed withthe OP. The OP was saying the portrayal of men is insulting to men and you've just used the (bad) portrayal of men to refute his/her argument.
How do you write women so well?
I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability
