No women really have agency in the movie. And yet it still seemed to me to be a movie I could understand, enter into, relate to as a woman, because it never once presented the dead girl's violation as anything other than a horrific encroachment by human monsters. When she was simply touched, the camerawork and color control and acting made it clearly a desecration--if you're Catholic, a desecration of the temple of the Holy Spirit, this creature's body. In the end I didn't think Deadgirl, despite its advertising, presented rape as titillating or deserved or natural."</span></a><br /><br />And while we're quoting:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cincentral.com/2010/04/deadgirl.html"><span style="font-style:italic;">"This shocking film builds organically, stacking on the tension scene after scene in a dark and frightening experience that will haunt you for days after watching."</span></a> - CINCENTRAL<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://odetohorror.blogspot.com/2010/03/dead-girl-some-degradation.html">"This movie also projects a side of sexuality we are not commonly confronted with.

The casual acceptance by several otherwise 'normal' people of a warped situation in which they can forget all social boundaries and norms, regressing into a demi-monde of their own making. This is what packs the punch, and - although the film plays this out in an admittedly grotesque fashion - it's not quite as fantastical a phenomenon as we'd like to think.

Plenty of fodder for thoughtful discussion but not for the weak of heart."</a> — TwitchHollywoodmadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15136773962403035321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470449918364787867.post-8046679176431379982009-10-15T08:17:00.001-07:002010-01-11T07:13:00.297-08:0030 Days<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYlYOg3LeHI0o0JxHWjshvgnJZ3F4GHc9h6QluVnlmF38me6z_MEkxmuD63qL7nZyGzviezFLtNgxqWodtXomCSB2glLtb2WwI_JHdUuzie332X8vHTtyqokwRm_8VQzS9jHVziV4R8M/s1600-h/dg_blockbuster.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYlYOg3LeHI0o0JxHWjshvgnJZ3F4GHc9h6QluVnlmF38me6z_MEkxmuD63qL7nZyGzviezFLtNgxqWodtXomCSB2glLtb2WwI_JHdUuzie332X8vHTtyqokwRm_8VQzS9jHVziV4R8M/s400/dg_blockbuster.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392849164691295538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6HlnsBvecSNcnn9ilsBrWIRgnYWF7uJQ3vIE72uOAzrm484dEQwuoNsco-6z5DKHEP8rRK4dmV0IHBPTP5BpSEOeW4XBlLnWUonclVWIPCOewJRE0pTDYXxBtl5OAo3jJ3Cr-hAPn9aA/s1600-h/navarro_spain.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6HlnsBvecSNcnn9ilsBrWIRgnYWF7uJQ3vIE72uOAzrm484dEQwuoNsco-6z5DKHEP8rRK4dmV0IHBPTP5BpSEOeW4XBlLnWUonclVWIPCOewJRE0pTDYXxBtl5OAo3jJ3Cr-hAPn9aA/s400/navarro_spain.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392849322982377986" /></a>The plan was to do a comprehensive summary of the last month, since that's how long <span style="font-style:italic;">Deadgirl</span> has been out on DVD. But time does not permit a comprehensive summary.<br /><br />So instead, here's a half-assed one:<br /><br />We're at 40,000 ratings on Netflix, which really blew away our expectations. As previously noted, since not everyone rates the movies they've watched, it's hard to know exactly how many more people have Netflixed the movie.<br /><br />And it's been neat seeing the empty <span style="font-style:italic;">Deadgirl</span> spaces in Blockbuster (at least our local one, where it's rarely been back on the shelf).<br /><br />For some reason, Best Buy has it in the Sci-Fi section, so that's probably something to be aware of, just in case.<br /><br />Dave Navarro was a big fan of the movie and invited Jenny Spain on his radio show, where he described the movie as "terrifying" and "compelling" and added "Not only have I seen fucked-up stuff, but I've seen <span style="font-style:italic;">really</span> fucked-up stuff ... and <span style="font-style:italic;">this</span> disturbed me more." Then he took Jenny out to dinner.<br /><br />Universal Studios and the Chiller/Eyegore Awards gave <span style="font-style:italic;">Deadgirl</span> a prize for "2009 Best Villain of the Year" ... that would be JT (Noah Segan).<br /><br />The media response has been enormous. Lots of great reviews, from larger newspapers (<span style="font-style:italic;">Boston Globe, Washington Post</span>), to more local ones (<span style="font-style:italic;">Tampa Tribune, Kansas City Star</span>) to all types of blogs and websites (DVD Talk, Cinematical) and everything in between. Most of them quoted below, so won't bother re-quoting here. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">The Boston Globe</span> even placed the movie high on its list of 20 Best Zombie Movies of All Time (#6). <br /><br />Because it's October, many people are doing some sort of 31-day horror movie countdown till Halloween, and many of these lists include <span style="font-style:italic;">Deadgirl</span>. Thanks to everyone who has made it part of the festivities. <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Deadgirl</span> continues to split reactions almost right down the middle, as it's done from day one. On IMDB we're at 60% positive. Same with Amazon. On Netflix it's 56%. On Rotten Tomatoes, the T-Meter Critics are at 31%, but the Rotten Tomato Community is at 66%.<br /><br />And easily the coolest part of the last few weeks is reading real-time reactions on Twitter. Good, bad, confused, angry, surprised, curious, and genuinely thrilled, tweets have covered it all and have come from everywhere.<br /><br />Needless to say, it's been a really exciting first month for us.Hollywoodmadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15136773962403035321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470449918364787867.post-42009564113996403852009-10-14T14:51:00.001-07:002009-10-14T15:00:05.502-07:00Win your own dead girl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAMJeskDNYKHP1pJPKQT2sYV7pc9CunErY6tT16wggygS3kymuVgXLU9vI1MszXrWSYCBa05YgRbdoD7sGdUlyapHaVSv3oz6LX6tta1TggRC7xzrCJXSXDRy-tloRA-bmymaeLsVzhmQ/s1600-h/E1_logoweb.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 115px; height: 108px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAMJeskDNYKHP1pJPKQT2sYV7pc9CunErY6tT16wggygS3kymuVgXLU9vI1MszXrWSYCBa05YgRbdoD7sGdUlyapHaVSv3oz6LX6tta1TggRC7xzrCJXSXDRy-tloRA-bmymaeLsVzhmQ/s200/E1_logoweb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392577186628466674" /></a>Our Canadian distributor, <span style="font-weight:bold;">E1 Entertainment</span>, is holding a <span style="font-weight:bold;">FrightFest Contest</span>, so<a href="http://e1films.com/contests/frightfest/"> click here</a> while there's still a chance to win a copy of <span style="font-style:italic;">Deadgirl</span> (each of the five winners also picks up a free dvd of <span style="font-style:italic;">Dead Snow</span>, too!).<br /><br /><br />[<span style="font-style:italic;">note</span>: Only open to Canadian residents. <a href="http://e1films.com/contests/frightfest/rules.htm">Here are all the rules</a>.]Hollywoodmadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15136773962403035321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470449918364787867.post-86800873766385857132009-10-11T09:18:00.000-07:002009-10-11T09:23:42.047-07:00Innocence Lost<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSV_-ePYbrUR0UKPF2mYws8OvMqhuRElajr2_QGu7A3gDmSY6MIgVR_zDrk0yJ767drP22hM18oMRrRbOUZonYbdxLd_5JHC7LSyEuIKVW5HllvuIJUzR1PXxoFfUYDPIL4fxgvjqrR9Y/s1600-h/TampaTribunelogo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 69px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSV_-ePYbrUR0UKPF2mYws8OvMqhuRElajr2_QGu7A3gDmSY6MIgVR_zDrk0yJ767drP22hM18oMRrRbOUZonYbdxLd_5JHC7LSyEuIKVW5HllvuIJUzR1PXxoFfUYDPIL4fxgvjqrR9Y/s400/TampaTribunelogo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391377574078489122" /></a><a href="http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/entertainment/comments/deadgirl/"><span style="font-style:italic;">"An unbelievably taunt, surprisingly poignant and harrowingly bleak picture of innocence lost...
