MEN RAPIST - A Pulp Series

MEN RAPIST - A PULP SERIES
(Episode #1)

Italy, 2012
Director: Giuseppe Piva

7/10






"Men Rapist - A Pulp Series" is an upcoming rape'n'revenge web series, consisting of 6 episodes, produced by a small Italian production studio called MyCity. I got the honour to watch the first episode and though my expectations weren't that high, I ended up pleasantly surprised.

"Men Rapist" is not some trashy "I Spit On Your Grave" rapefest, it's actually a stylish and visually stunning thriller about a mysterious creature in disguise that takes vengeance for raped women by raping the rapists. It's dark and gripping, but also quite entertaining.


The acting is terrific (especially the cool-looking Massimo Barberi), the dialogue is well-written, script and direction are tight. Fausto Mazza's camera work is awesome and looks just great, the settings all look beautiful, the rocking soundtrack is superb and the editing is pretty solid.

Ok, I haven't figured the whole thing because the plot is a bit confusing - but I'm sure the upcoming episodes will clear everything up. Overall, an interesting and well-made little film. Bravo, signore Piva!
