fucked up film: straw dogs (1971)


the only film that makes dustin hoffman a huge pussy and a badass motherfucker is straw dogs. straw dogs is about a mathematician named david (dustin hoffman)and his english wife amy move into a nice village to seek a new life. they hire construction workers to work on the garage and they're huge assholes to david. they ask david if he wants to go hunting for quail (i think it was quail) so he agrees to go. meanwhile, his wife amy is getting raped by one of the guys who helps on the garage then another guy comes in and rapes her too. i think the director was trying to make the greatest rape scene of all time. amy doesnt tell david about what happened. she clearly cannot get over it.

at one point of the film, some guy named henry, touches some lady, then david hits henry with his car. now henry is at david's place and everyone wants to kill henry by getting in david's house. SPOILER ALERT so the rest of the film shows david killing every local that tries to get into his house. its very intense.

overall straw dogs was pretty good. it can be boring at some points but it really builds up towards the end.

FUCKED UP RATING: 6.5 OUT OF 10
OVERALL: 7 OUT OF 10


there is a remake coming out in 2011. please don't see it. i looked on imdb and its coming out on september 11th. that is not cool.
