She Kills

A bizarre and grotesque wonder. I understand everyone who is tempted to rate She Kills a 1 but I also get if some may be tried to rate a straight 10. Well, I got well entertained by some gory and very funny and very absurd moments - so a rate of 7 it is from my side. Worth a try if you are able to enjoy very absurd, grotesque movies with a high trash and low budget factor (production and storywise) + overacting in a style that it is somehow reborn almost superb again.

I like b-movies. "Toxic Avenger", "Class of Nukem High", "Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead" but they have still have more than good ideas. Even in a b-movie execution matters.

She Kills really needed an editor. The scenes just drag on, the cuts don't come fast enough. Further the acting is horrible. Of course I don't expect good acting in a b-movie but it's like everything was done with zero practice and on the first take. Lines are poorly delivered, no umph, it's like their reading the script instead of acting the lines.

There's lots of great and hilarious ideas and if they'd figure out the acting and the editing this could have been one of the great b-movies but as it is it's just frustrating to watch.

I'm gonna be absolutely honest here. I only watched 15 minutes of this. It is some of the most ridiculous acting I have come across in a really long time. When I started it and realized that it was going to be rough, I allowed it the 15 minutes to at least give it a chance. I just couldn't do it. I've seen 3 year old kids act better than this. This is supposed to be a rape revenge film but I've seen chihuahua's rape stuffed animals more viciously than this!

I have absolutely no idea how this has a 6.3 rating. I hate when I read reviews that talk about fake scores but this film is one of the first films that I've come across and can honestly say that folks have been REALLY, REALLY, REALLY generous with their ratings.

If you want to take your chances on it, by all means, do so. If you do start it, you are a real trooper if you can make it past 15 minutes in. You've been warned!!

This parody to 70's Grindhouse movies is good. Yes. There are scenes that made a lot of reviewers very uncomfortable, that they were unable to watch the entire film. Those scenes of sexual assault in She Kills, were made with a comedy element. Not like the scenes with the movies "Thriller :A Cruel Picture, AKA They Call Her One Eye, I Spit On Your Grave, Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom and other sexploitation movies that didn't tone down the sexual assaults. Those two movies that I mentioned, those sexual assault scenes were brutal. Here in She Kills, they took a lighter touch and even paid homage to Thriller with the eye patch as well as other exploitation and mainstream movies. The sexual in nature scenes were more of a comedy gross factor, than making the viewers think that this could be an actual assault taking place on film. The filmmakers and the actors are all in on the joke. They know it's a bad movie and they put their all of the worst into it. With double stand-ins, burned film, the dialogs doesn't switch up with the actor's mouths, the use of a dog and a cat being used as weapons for a fight, the use of not to scale models of buildings, roads and cars. There are even scenes with the crew in the shot.

It's a funny film. You have to stay with it. It doesn't go down easy, but you will laugh and groan at the same time.

So I did watch this first - and then the movie this is supposed to be a sequel of. I don't think you have to watch the other movie before this. Or at all - but if you really dig this, you should watch the other one too. If possible in the right order. Not because of any story developments (I know good one, right?), but because this is better than the other one. I am standing up for that (no pun intended).

But yes there is innuendo to say the least - and there is the notion of trying to make even the most horrible situation funny. I am not sure if you can see the humor in the "Benny Hill" style ... sexual abuse of someone. If you remind yourself that it's just a movie, you may be able to let things go. I am just warning you and telling you what to expect. What you make of it ... that's up to you.

That said, a lot of nudity, a lot of blood effects and a lot of really insane "otherworldy" situations ... and humor! Above all it is the humor that will make or break this for you. And how "sensible/sensitive" you are ... because this literally takes not prisoners ... and when I say this, you could put that in the pun column too ... you've been warned ... or encouraged, not sure to be honest.
