Coffin Rock (2009)
3/10
Upsetting and Misleading
31 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The entire movie centers around the idea that she had a one night stand, but given the fact that what happened to the main character was rape, the entire plot is just upsetting. She was drunk, he was sober, she said NO multiple times and fought him to the best of her ability. That is rape. No question. The rest of the movie is just victim blaming! The rest of the characters who should be supporting her (best friend, witness to the rape, husband, etc) just make it out as though she made a choice. The entire movie is essentially a rapist impregnating and stalking his victim and in the end she is left even further traumatized and completely without support.

Honestly, the movie would have gotten a much higher rating from me if it weren't for the disgusting ideology it promotes. It had wonderful acting and a compelling story line, all ruined by by the appalling choice to write the victim out to be a cheater.

How disappointing.
