Snaggletooth . I was quite impressed with the start of this movie, it has this bleached out look as if made back in the 1970s and you can feel the humid heat of the area as the girls chat and travel along in the car. Once they find the body of a girl beside the road who's been raped and battered things (in terms of acting) kinda slip a little. The actual rape of the girls which inevitably comes soon after, is probably not violent enough for a movie like this to really get the blood boiling for the expected later revenge. I remember the first time I saw I Spit On Your Grave (the original) I almost wanted to climb into the screen and kill those guys myself. The rape here though (to me) was portrayed a little too erotically (if thats the right word) and didn't convey the true horror that something like this entails. Effectively, if I watch a movie which involves rape and revenge, the rape should be horrible enough to set up the vengeful violence later (which must be twice as brutal to satisfy me). Isn't that what everyone wants?Hmm... Which leads me to that...The revenge:Well, it's just not very gory. OK, some may disagree (maybe I've seen too many horror flicks lol) but a minor hammer beating, and a barbed wire strangulation are a bit weak. Although a better director maybe could have built the tension up that these sufficed. Sadly there's little in terms of tension in the movie. I can see what the director was trying to do by hoping to create a bleak landscape with little dialogue. But a lot of it just doesn't work (again, the early part of the movie is excellent in doing this though). In the end, you really aren't given enough meat to build a huge connection and pity for the girls, and you aren't given enough bloody revenge against the men either. And I must say, that last killing, or form of, caused me to burst out laughing. I mean, really? This movie sadly, was a bit of a pig's ear.
Paul Day Rape/revenge movies aren't supposed to be enjoyable. And this is not enjoyable but it's a great piece of film making and a great addition to the genre. For many, it may feel far too slow and even dull, but that's where the strength and power of the movie lies. As with Funny Games, the director refuses to rush through the mundane, forcing the viewer to acknowledge the reality simulated on the screen. An exploitation director wouldn't spend 3 minutes on burial, let alone on a long shot of it. Adrián García Bogliano also takes defies convention by keeping the soundtrack minimal and ambient emphasizing the dull horror of not only the rapes, but of the revenge. The huge accomplishment of this movie is in getting the words "subtle" and "rape/revenge movie" into the same sentence.
trashgang Attending horror conventions you were noticed that this would become an instant classic. To have so much fuss it must have been something special and face it, how many Argentinian flicks do make it to Europe? Adrián García Bogliano had made already a lot of flicks and even wrote them but naturally by doing it in Spanish it never got any of our attention.No Moriré Sola is a straight in your face grindhouse. If you could dig the original rape/revenge flicks like I Spit On Your Grave (1978) then I should recommend this one too. The story is written in a few sentences but ho, it really works.It works because it doesn't contain arty farty shots or CGI. It works because the overall look of this flick is cheap. No flashy effects or colour grading. It works because it goes slowly to involve towards the roughness at the end. Due being a revenge flick it doesn't have too much gory shots, it is even a bit low on the red stuff but the brutality is what gives you the creeps. The rape scene is also really slow and it goes on and on from one girl to another. On that part the girls go full frontal and even now and then a guys dick is shown. So for those with a weak stomach I wouldn't recommend it.It's one of those flicks that could happen, being at the wrong place at the wrong time and seeing that something isn't right, of course to us South America is known for its corruption which is exploited here too.The acting was believable especially from the 4 girls getting into trouble. And the score did at a bit of weirdness all over this flick.I'll Never Walk Alone is for the grindhouse/exploitation buffs, others will be offended in a way Irreversible did.Gore 2/5 Nudity 3,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
Coventry All the puritan movie-critics that once labeled "I Spit on your Grave" as the worst, sickest and most gratuitously exploitative horror movie ever made (I'm looking at you, Mr. Roger Ebert) are warmly advised to stay a million miles away from this Spanish/Argentinean co-production called "I'll Never Die Alone" (lovely title, by the way). Every element that made the aforementioned Rape & Revenge milestone a "class-sick" are intensified several times here, making this one of the most unpleasant, repellent and disturbing cinematic experiences I ever witnessed. We're talking vastly extended and shockingly graphic rape sequences, uncomfortably long moments of silence, aggregating acts of retaliation, a pounding grunt soundtrack and an overall ambiance of nausea. Unless I overlooked a title, this is the first genuine throwback to the most infamous sub genre of horror of the 1970's. With the emphasis nowadays lying on torture-porn flicks and tributes to Grindhouse movies, the department of Rape & Revenge movies somewhat got pushed into oblivion lately. These new torture flicks are quite sick and mega-violent, yet none of them come even close to recreating the gritty atmosphere and level of intensity of such flicks as "House on the Edge of the Park", "Fight for your Life", the original "Last House on the Left" and of course "I spit on your Grave". With "I'll Never Die Alone"; director Adrian Garcia Bogliano impressively brings back the sickest type of 70's exploitation cinema and I'm convinced many fans of the era will welcome this film with wide-open arms. The plot is very basic and straightforward as it should be. Four young girls on a road-trip through the most rural countryside of Argentina witness the murder of another girl by a trio of poachers. As they stop by the nearest police station to get help, the trio's leader also turns out to be a higher ranked authority figure. Immediately after leaving the police station, the girls find themselves pursued by the poachers' jeep. They are barbarically raped and mutilated before the strongest once have a chance to fight back. The rape sequences are particularly excruciating because A) they are shot integrally and B) because the four lead girls appear to be incredibly young. They honestly don't look a day older as 18, which makes the shock-impact all the more intense. And either they are all four naturally gifted actresses or they were genuinely terrified during the shooting, as their facial expressions during the rapes and the rage in their eyes seem frighteningly legitimate. The bloody vengeance parts are reasonably grueling as well, including someone getting hammered to death and another bastard getting strangled by barbwire. The unsteady cinematography and raw editing may appear amateurish and low budget like, but it actually just epitomizes the raunchy tone of the film. If you are sick and tired of the nowadays exaggeratedly hyped torture flicks like "Hostel" and the numerous "Saw" sequels, try and get your dirty little hands on this authentic hardcore-to-the-bone exploitation effort.
