Clearly not for everyone, but some people will LOVE it
Shatter Dead gets very bad reviews on a regular basis. A lot of people are turned off by its poor film quality, poor sound quality, and ultra-ultra-ultra-low budget. And in a way, those reviews have a point: Shatter Dead is in no way a polished, Hollywood-looking film, and a LOT of people will hate this movie for those reasons alone. However. A lot of people will also love this movie in spite of its many flaws. A lot of people will see the crafty originality of the plot, the numerous advances on a genre that had long been stagnant and boring. They will see its clever screenplay, its poignant and memorable characters, its haunting musical score, its chilling sense of place, its thorough atmosphere of dread, its highly innovative and detailed symbolism, and its multi-tiered meaning. A lot people, including myself, see Shatter Dead as a very powerful piece of art, even if it is a little rough around the edges and most people hate it.

almost perfect, but unusable
The bowls look nice, feel nice, etc., but in the end they are terrible because of one huge design flaw. The entire bottom inch of the bowls is made of a material that feels terrible to the touch. It's the tactile equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. It will not only agonize you when you pick up the bowl, but stay with you for a day afterward. If you are AT ALL sensitive to textures, do not buy these bowls.

an improper handling of a touchy subject
6 of 9 found this helpful This film does have a strong following, I'm fully aware. It also has a lot of people who hate it. I belong in that second camp of people, although not for the same reasons that most people point out.
I Spit On Your Grave is a rape-revenge film, which (in and of itself) I have no problem with. One of my favorite movies of all time, Ms. 45, falls in that same genre. My problem with ISOYG is that it really doesn't handle the topic at all tastfully or properly or respectfully or appropriately.
First of all, the rape scene is long. Like, over an hour long. That's very unnecessary. It's as if the filmmakers are taking pleasure in the rape of the main character, and asking the audience to do the same. It's disgusting and revolting to watch on many levels.
Second, the revenge is not satisfying. After being through such an unfathomably horrific ordeal as the hour-long rape scene, we expect to (at the very least) be treated to one insanely brutal revenge. But we're not. The revenge the main character enacts has the following problems: (1) it's too short (2) it involves her further victimization (3) her success in getting revenge seems almost accidental rather than a product of her planning and (4) she at almost no point feels truly in control during the revenge process.
I know that the filmmakers defend this film by saying that it's supposed to be unpleasant, and that it's actual a feminist piece since it displays how awful of a crime rape is and then gets revenge on the perpetrators of that crime. Well, I think that's a very admirable goal, but I don't think this film accomplishes it in a way that's at all satisfactory. If you're looking to illustrate the horrors of rape and then enact a revenge on its perpetrators, there are many other movies to watch first that are done far far far more artfully, tastfully, and respectfully. Please do not watch this movie.
