I’ll Never Die Alone DVD – Leonardo Cuchetti, Gimena Blesa

An Argentinean film that literally points a sawn-off shot gun at the head of the whole rape-revenge genre and blows it away. Brutal intense exploitative and profoundly disturbing. I’ll Never Die Alone centres on four young women travelling through the countryside who get on the wrong side of the local police after they witness some illegal hunting. What follows is a savage escalation from violence to rape to a series of extremely savage and intense confrontations that really push and challenge the viewer in ways that are evocative of films like Abel Ferrara’s Ms. 45 and I Spit on Your Grave though without I Spit’s misogyny.
