i enjoyed TCM, but, to my mind the ending didn't make sense.
the victim tries to escape via the truck. she climbs in the truck but decides to leave through the other door, as does the driver. i don't get why they didn't drive away? it's comical.
the other puzzling thing with the ending is the blonde victim suddenly becomes brunette? is that the same actor with different coloured hair? if so, did shy dye it so spite the director? or did they have to use another actor?
the films concept of redundant slaughter-house butchers gone mad because their inhumane primitive killing techniques has been outmoded is a funny idea! great film.
A friend reckons Fire Walk with Me should be in the list as well - I imagine that's fairly controversial on a couple of points...

It polarises opinions I think. It's so primitive and empty but all the more effective for that. I can imagine that some people were titillated by it though."Glad you like I Spit On Your Grave - it's not for everyone but its much better than its reputation I think..."
I've always known you were a man of taste Dave."worst film ever."
Yeah, that was great. And that trick ending was a real nasty surprise."Anyone see 'the descent'? One of my favourite horrors from the past decade."
I just found it very heavy-handed and overly sentimental. From the start it seemed to use lots of transparently cheap tricks to try and make you feel sorry for the mother and the other characters seemed paper thin. It's a long time since I've seen it but I'm sure that there was more than that that I disliked. It didn't leave much of an impression on me to be honest. Unlike Irreversible which I disliked almost as much but which did at least give me something to think about later. Am I right in saying that RFAD the film is set in the nineties or am I remembering it wrong?"Why the hate for Requiem? Alway's interested in the opposite view when it comes to films..."
It's a while since I've seen it but I think the hair colour is just a trick of the light...
You might like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 although it is a different take on the southern gothic thing - didn't see it mentioned much in Dennis Hopper's obituary though...

Also - 'a serbian film' probably trumps martyrs for me wrt genuine unpleasantness.
Seems a strange decision to omit that."In the US version there is no trick ending - hence the odd situation of the US only sequel - which is shit btw."
I'm supposed to be seeing that at the weekend."Also - 'a serbian film' probably trumps martyrs for me wrt genuine unpleasantness."

Haven't seen that one.her father (played quite well by Jamie Gillis, who incidentally will always be most applauded by me for his role as Burt, the Enema Bandit in WATER POWER...)
