W A T C H E D

I've seen "THRILLER: A Cruel Picture" (1973). That was tamer even with the pornographic inserted scenes were unnecessary in that film.

Also Better to find the R-rated version called, "They Call Her One Eye" (1973). Much better film.

But despite being far less sexually graphic, this movie is more intense and uncomfortable. Featuring the longest rape scene depicted on film. 25 minutes.

The writer/director, Meir Zarchi, had found and helped a woman who was raped. He Took to the police, they questioned her aggressively over a few hours. The police disturbingly ignored her injuries and worsening condition to the point that Zarchi then took matters into his own hands and took her to the hospital without assistance of the police.

That experience gave him the inspiration to make this film. Which is in itself is somewhat disturbing.

A British feminist, Julie Bindel, had protested the movie but reversed her opinion after seeing it saying it was a feminist film.

And I didn't see that immediately. Not until Jennifer (the main character) lures the mechanic guy with her to the wilderness and listening to his "reasons" that he and the others couldn't help raping her.

That's when I saw it's not just a movie with gratuitous nudity, violence, and a rape in the middle to facilitate the revenge half of the movie. The revenge is just that, but it's that moment that makes it feminist.

I'll argue for the sake of some people's mental health, it's still flawed, especially for anyone that's disturbed by the plot and the scenes.

⚠️It's definitely not for everyone even if you're a feminist. So I thought it prudent to say that.⚠️

Further Trivia:

1. Camille Keaton is Buster Keaton's great-niece.

2. All four male actors asked to appear naked in the film, to remove awkwardness or embarrassment about their own nudity, and to show solidarity for Camille Keaton who spends much of the film nude.

3. British feminist Julie Bindel actively picketed the film when it was first released in the UK. She later recanted that view, stating that she now considered it "a feminist film".

4. Camille Keaton said in 2019 that she doesn't feel this film or those like it are misogynistic at all, as some have claimed. She said, "The first film was inspired by true events after Meir Zarchi rescued a woman who'd been raped, so I don't think it's exploitative, it's empowering to women. That's what I love about Meir's work, it doesn't glamorise anything and even the grittiness of the cinematography shows the tone of what's happened. Statistics show that in the United States 1 in 5 women have been raped, so the truth is that it's a very real and worldwide issue. Most of us know someone who's been affected. When a movie takes on a subject like this, I think it's very brave." She added that the censorship of this film is a hypocrisy. "We can go on the internet right now and see porn, which children can easily access, but we can't show a portrayal (i.e. it's not really happening) of someone being raped which is a real issue. I believe art can wake people up, especially something that makes a statement."
