I spent the last few days downloading The Machine Girl over a slow torrent, and I have to say I couldn’t really watch it. I mean, I like ridiculous overhyped violence, but something about this one just put me off entirely. Just the way the shots were placed and how long to camera lingered on each violent act. It was like violence as a fetish, not as an action or plot device or even an event. It was just… kinda gross. Like I felt dirty for watching it.
So congratulations, from the guy who watched Dead Alive (AKA Brain Dead) with glee and abandon, I couldn’t bear to watch The Machine Girl. Maybe if I had some friends with me and I was hideously drunk, but in the sobering hour of one in the afternoon on a Thursday, not so much.
