Whore

Whore, that's a great name for a movie. It really catches the eye, as does the DVD cover of the woman with Whore carved on her forehead.

Its the story of Ricki, a young married woman who goes out to her fathers old remote cabin in some small backwoods village to finish a book she writing. She's supposed to meet a few other lady's there but I digress

Anyway when her power acts up she calls the local electrician who remembers her from when they were children. They went to the old zoo once. The old zoo, not the new zoo, but the old zoo. Sorry when the opportunity comes for a Police Academy 2 reference you take it. This guy is super creepy, as is his mentally challenged buddy, and there other mouth breather friend.

They decide to grab there camcorder, head back over and rape Ricki over and over again, the carve Whore in her head and leave her half dead and catatonic.

Unfortunately for them she lives and goes on to extract her revenge.

Sound familiar? It should, it's a remake of I Spit on Your Grave. That's not a bad thing thought. It features a very attractive lead, and some very good acting. Be prepared to read subtitles as the film is from Norway. Actually I read its the first exploitation film of its kind to come out of Norway. 

One thing that sets it apart from I Spit is the cinamatography. You see quick camcorder clips from,the killers camera spliced in, and some shots are filmed in black and white to add a more haunting/surreal mood. The score is very haunting and helps,to set the overall tone of horror, despare, and revenge.

It's a very well made film that is worth a,look

Overall 3 out of 5 Stars
