Wow, THAT was awful

How bad was Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs (1971)? Pretty fuckin bad, that's how bad. I haven't seen a movie this horrendous in quite a while. The only thing of ANY note (apart from the coma-enducing boredom, attrocious acting and pathetic writing/directing) was the Oscar-nominated score - and even that was me just trying to find anything to like. That's about it. God, the Susan George character was annoying as all hell. This movie is despicable. It's the worst kind of horror film. It's even below filth like I Spit On Your Grave which worked very similar ground. That one at least new it was exploitive crap (which it was - and was also really bloody awful). This movie, however, THINKS it's important. What sort of crap is it trying to pass off? That men need to be violent to be considered men. Fuck off you moron. I HATE YOU AND YOUR STUPID FUCKING MOVIE!!!!! F

(was that too harsh?)
