I Told You Not to Call the Police (2010 Video) User Reviews

No. Seriously. No.

Unless you're looking for a movie that consists of fairly attractive women getting "raped" by a voice-over you can't really hear above the soundtrack, this isn't your movie. The synopsis I read on the Movie and Music Channel says it's about a babysitter who gets raped, is told not to call the cops, her friends convince her to and then the guy comes back. Pretty standard and possibly interesting. That's an out and out lie. Literally-literally, this is 90mins of of badly filmed pseudo-rape. Full stop. That's it. There's graphic female nudity every minute and not a hint of erotica, threat or perversion. Not that the actresses don't try. Well, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're smiling. Sometimes they're waiting for the cue to pseudo-writhe. Sometimes they're staring into the camera before, I'm guessing, being told not to stare into the camera. One "victim" disrobes so sexily you can't really call it even "pseudo-rape".

There is literally no point to this movie. Not sexual politics. Not power politics. No police politics. Not one single thought outside of "how much vagina can I get this 'actress' to show?"

How bad is this? The "rapist" sometimes wears a stocking over his head. Sometimes he doesn't. I guess they just filmed as soon as he could convince the girls to take their clothes off.

Disclaimer: I fast forwarded through the last hour of it. So it went something like: 1:05: Oh. He came back for the small breasted girl 1:10: Still the small breasted girl 1:15: Still the small breasted girl 1:20: OH! A big breasted girl 1:25: Still the big breasted girl 1:30: Still the big breasted girl

Don't waste your time.

I'm shocked by this one...

I had to review it high, but I have no idea who to recommend it to. I'm shocked by this movie. It's actually... Artistic... And yet utterly horrific. It's mostly first person, handheld, of him pointing at women. And they react as if he's threatening to murder them. It's like something you'd find in a courtroom. I don't even know what to say. There's almost no sound accept classical music and a few VOs. It's so odd that I'm only talking about it because I feel like I need to tell somebody... I'm kinda scared. If I didn't personally know one of the actresses in it, I'd think she was dead.

The premise: Women are sexually assaulted in first person, mostly, then filmed showering off the horror of it... Plus you see Bill's creepy hands caressing the women. (Exhibit B, Your Honor?)

If you're looking for a Bill Zebub movie like Dickshark or Night of the Pumpkin, this is not it.

But! If you're looking for something that feels like the B Role of a Lars Van Trier film like The House That Jack Built and if you think that Bill could just be a neurodivergent genius- here you go.
