By the way, anyone here ever see “Extremties”? Or even “Death And The Madien”?

That is my view: The filmmakers aren’t going there there has to be something else to the story other than just scenes of brutality.

How about:

1) the dude doesn’t get off, he serves a reduced sentence/ some time, but he gets early parole, rehabs himself etc. THEN they nab him and make him PAY!

2) the dude not only gets off, but thinks he’s so clever he kidnaps another kid. But the couple have stalked him for some time, the cops don’t believe them, they have a restaining order, etc etc. They don’t know who the missing kid is. They don’t know where the creep has child stashed / or buried alive. THEN they nab the dude, kick him in the nuts and chop off his little pinky to make his ass talk! But he’s a hardcore killer, and so he tests them to see how far they’d go. They take a bat and a baseball, and the baseball “gives him a walk” as it “hits home” in the chest, shoulder or face.

Not that they’d do it, but They SAW this movie, get inspired. A pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

Not that they’d do it, but The SAW this movie, get inspired, staple gun photos of the victims to the man’s chest.

They find out who the new kinapped child is. They call the parents of that child. The parents happen to be Hell’s Angels bikers. They come on over to the house with a pair of rusty wrenches and a swiss army knife…

What?
What do you mean, “my date’s going to cancel dinner”?
No she won’t—I’m just…saying….

That sounds like “Lady Vengeance.”

*Spoilers if you haven’t seen it.*

In it, a former prisoner at a female prison gets released and seeks out the person who got her wrongfully jailed. It seems that he had something over her, so she told the media that she killed this little girl, even showing how she did it. Now looking for the guy who really killed the girl, she finds out that this little girl wasn’t his only victim. She finds the guy, and ties him up to a chair, and leaves him in a old abandoned school. She comes back with the parents of all the kids who the guy killed, and gives them all a chance to exact punishment onto him, by giving them each like a minutes worth of time to torture him. They are given all kinds of torture devices, and they all proceed to torture the real killer. When they’ve all taken their turns torturing him, she goes and finishes the job.

But, at the same time. This sounds like it might fall under the torture porn veil of films which I don’t watch by standard. They just don’t ‘do it’ for me I’m afraid.

I’d be interested in how this film will carry on the distance though. Unless they introduce a subplot of police trying to find them, or a plot twist and maybe the peado’s thug friends coming to break him out etc I don’t see how the audience will be able to sympathise with the main character for that long as he tortures someone …
