Fantastic!
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
because I am so tired of rape victims, at least in the USA, being brainwashed by therapists to forgive and forget because their rapists were "sick" and could not help themselves. Hogwash. They are cruel brute beasts who deserve the same fate that the rapists got in this film.This film takes an entirely different approach from most of this genre. First, its hardly a travel brochure for Argentina as the police are shown as completely in league with the rapists who seem to be hunting women as well as animals.Four female college students are traveling through rural Argentina back to their middle class homes when they find a woman who has been severely injured and sexually assaulted. They also saw "the hunters". They pick up the woman, who dies, and go to the local police. Bad idea. The police seem completely indifferent. As they leave town the women are sideswiped, kidnapped, taken out into the brush and brutally raped. One dies from internal injuries when she is severely beaten prior to the rape.Afterwards, two of the women find one of the rapists' guns and decide to track them down and "do unto others". To me the deaths of the rapists were not violent enough. Maybe we Americans just do violence better because of our frontier roots and wildness that is still in us, but I was so hoping the girls could round up the rapists, cut their hands and feet off and then bury each of them alive in a mass grave. As it is the violence done to each is not nearly worthy of their past actions. Only the last killed gets a really horrible death, and you don't even get to see it.We probably won't have the death penalty in the US much longer, but films like this should remind people that sometimes to beat them you have to join them - in technique at least.
When Meir Zarchi made I Spit On Your Grave in 1978, he would never have comprehended the legacy that his film would eventually generate. Seen as one of the more controversial of the named video nasties, it and the genre it has recently been generating is making waves again.This Argentine roughie must rank as one of the more effective and respectful homages to Zarchi's film. Except that here, experienced micro-budget horror director, Bogliano, takes the genres usual conceits and batters the viewers conscious for the entire duration.Filmed in the stark sunshine of a remote part of Argentina, a group of four young girls drive past a battered and bloody body of another girl. After taking the body to the local police, upon leaving they are followed by a trio of hunters who show little mercy.Anyone who has seen I Spit On Your Grave or, indeed, last year's remake will know the direction the film will turn. The violence is very naturalistic which will repulse the unweary. Add to this a relentless, uneasy soundscape that permeates throughout (think Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974) which is both grating and disturbing in equal measure. A brilliant example of effective low budget film making, using subtle sound techniques to off put the viewer, making you forget any budget limitations (there are noticeably a few).The performances from the four leads are pitched perfectly. Bogliano not too indulgent with giving background detail, although a sense of compassion is forced upon us. This is especially true following the brutal ordeal that the group go through. Directly after the violent assault(s), there can be very few scenes as disturbing or powerful in recent memory as the reaction that the group's youngest member conveys, her character completely broken.Whether anybody would want to watch such fare is really an individual choice. But there is no doubt that this is the real deal - a modern grindhouse film without the retro trappings currently being thrown at us. Granted, there are references abound (see who the film acknowledges in its opening credits for further clues), particularly from the original grindhouse movement (Thriller: A Cruel Picture is covered on a number of occasions for instance), but No Morire Sola remains a horrific horror ordeal. A true video nasty.
"I'll Never Die Alone" is a nasty and mean rape and revenge flick obviously influenced by "Last House on the Left" and "I Spit on Your Grave".It tells the story of four female university students,who travel back to their family home in the remote outback of the La Plata region.During their journey they find raped and battered woman.She was sexually violated by three local hunters.Soon all four girls are captured by them.The orgy of rape and sexual violence begins in the sunny woods of La Plata.Two surviving women mercilessly pursue their attackers and extract bloody revenge via hammer,shotgun and barbwire.The rape sequence is nasty,merciless and very disturbing as is the violence.Unfortunately some shots are far too long and the lack of dialogue comes across as slightly disappointing.Still truly brutal and sick rape and revenge flick perfect for fans of misogynistic exploitation.8 out of 10.
Looking at the cover of I'll Never Die Alone it seems to come across as some wannabe exploit flick. Which I guess it is, as it doesn't really bring anything new to the sub-genre of rape/revenge exploitation. But what it does do, it does very well.The story is about a gaggle of four femininas going on a lil drive, and they happen to pass a dying girl on the road. The other comment said one of the girls witnessed it. I guess I totally missed that. Anyways, they go back and pick her up, and see the guys who were responsible for her injuries. The baddies eventually meet up with the girls not long after...and you know what kinda things go down next.When it comes down to it the rape/revenge flick is a pretty easy exploit flick to make. Grab some gung-ho actors and actresses, and a good make-up artist. Bingo. But at the same time it's not that easy to make an accomplished one. Which thankfully is what Adrián García Bogliano has done here. With a slow-burn style that tries to suck you into the Argentine wilderness, and long intimate shots of graphic sequences, he instead of making it an overly extreme flick, it ends up becoming more emotional.As I just mentioned, the director enjoys taking long shots of his actresses. And this tends not to work so well sometimes. There were a couple one-shot sequences that lasted for far too long. A shot that felt stylish, eventually started feeling artsy, and then like the director was trying too hard. But the thing is, I'd rather have a director try hard, than not try at all.Because of a cast of pretty good actors (besides the cute flabby girl), a few choice scenes of brutal violence, some sleazy rape, and the director's appealing style, No Morire Sola very easily becomes a recommendable modern exploitation flick that many should enjoy. And one I hope to enjoy more once I see it with subtitles.
