The entire movie was like a paid advertisement by "Mothers Against Pedophiles." At times the girl just stares at the camera and lists off all the reasons people shouldn't be pedophiles.
Especially when she spews out crap like, "I am every girl that has ever been preyed on by a pedophile" :roll:


**SPOILER**

Then when the guy kills himself at the end, I just stared at the screen in shock because I had no fvcking clue as to why that just happened. Walking out of the theater, I had absolutely nothing to say because I still couldn't get over the shock of the guy killing himself. Even to this day, whenever I think about it, I realize what an unneccesarilly dumb ending that was.

He's not dead. she purposely put more slack in the rope than the length of the house. so he basically jumped off the roof of the house. he might have sprained/broken his ankle/leg, but he's probably still alive.

i think she wanted to make him suffer. ie: now he has to explain why he jumped off the roof of the house, and who that girl was...

It wasn't enough slack for him to land on the ground. He either broke his neck or strangled himself to death. She said she did the same thing to his accomplice, and he's dead.

what a disturbing movie. As a guy it makes you cringe...I had to gently massage my crotch to make it feel better afterward

*********** SPOILER **************














From wikipedia:
She pretends to castrate him, with much detail, while he watches the operation "live" on a TV near him. The operation is really a tape, and the blood and testicles she removes (and grinds down the garbage disposal) are fake.
Was it fake? I didn't notice anything in the movie to indicate it was fake.

***SPOILERS****






Yes, it was faked. He sorta goes "Thank God" when he finally gets up and checks his balls.

I really liked it. Although, watching a movie with one hand on your jewels was different.

I thought it was pretty good.

It was a little slow & farfetched at some parts, but certainly nice & messed up overall.

pedo actually says "I'm all there" and feels his junk.

She promised to clean up his house. (evidence etc..) When he jumps at the end and she runs over to see him hang, she states that she wont clean up the evidence. Thats the freaky part, that she ran over just to see him bounce....

Outstanding movie. I don't know how anyone could look at that movie and think differently. Every aspect of it was so well done. Now if you didn't like the subject matter, that I can understand... ;)
