I agree as well. I felt that the film handled its subject matter in a way that was thoughtfully done, but still managed to be an entertaining horror film and not a boring, moralizing tale of suburban teenage angst. 

The best thing about Deadgirl is the fact that it manages to present clearly villainous characters and an ethically fairly black & white story and make it fun, in a way attempting to make the audience complicit in the horror taking place, because if we're enjoying it instead of finding it to be a "vile piece of work" then perhaps there's something wrong with us.

Much more clever and (dare I say) tasteful than Matt gives it credit for.]]>

I agree with Stephanie. The film has a lurid subject matter, but still took me for an entertaining ride that cared about it's characters instead of relegating them too gross out punchlines.  It wasn't a grand affair, but it was a professional one, that delivered on it's premise.]]>

I have to disagree. Deadgirl was disturbing, but I thought the movie was very well-made and the subject matter was well-handled. The perpetrators of the assaults on the girl were not glorified or put up on a pedestal - it was pretty clear that the filmmakers viewed them as villains. You also made no mention of the one character who refuses to take part in the assaults and spends most of the movie trying to counteract all the sickness in the film.]]>

Great, just what the world needs, another senseless and meaningless rape scene (or two, or three) to add to the mix. Glad I skipped it.]]>
