	10thvictim_review
		Whilst pursuing his victim, the Hunter stumbles upon a sexy show, at the Masoch club in New York, where a masked Caroline Meredith [Andress] is showing off a skimpy costume whilst slapping customers with relish as part of her act.
		Victim, although set in the future, paints a pop art vision of how the future could be seen, however only as captured in a 1960’s time capsule, hence it may appear to some as ludicrously dated (not surprising as the film is now 40 years old!).
		The film is fun entertainment, artistic enough not to be deemed trash by any stretch of the imagination, owing to all of it’s elements, and watching it over, it is interesting for any discerning movie buff to spot the numerous influences it has had on other movies.

	UTC and Birth of a Nation
		The film is an adaptation of Thomas Dixon's novel The Clansman (1905), second volume in the "Clan Trilogy" that, according to Dixon, began growing in his imagination while he was watching a theatrical performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
		The slaves whom she sought to depict sympathetically as victims become, as emancipated fls in the film's second half, the evil force that threatens families and women and children.
		What I've cut out is the film's larger climax: the KKK's rescue of the white heroine from the clutches of a mulatto who wants to marry her and its triumphant assault on the rioting fl troops and ex-slaves to reclaim the streets of Piedmont, the South Carolina town in which the Camerons live.

	Victim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		His On Fire series of films in the 80’s were very gritty and realistic and then in 1992 he directed his classic over the top “heroic bloodshed” film, Full Contact.
		The film continues to build layers of complexity to the plot and the viewer is kept guessing as to what is true and what is not in the cat and mouse game that Leung and Lau begin to play with one another.
		VICTIM is one of those movies that strike me as only something Hong Kong film makers would come up with: Not because it’s particularly outrageous in tone or visual treats; but, rather, because it is such a (successful) mix of genres.

	Victim (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victim is a 1961 British film directed by Basil Dearden, starring Dirk Bogarde and Sylvia Syms.
		The film tells the story of the fight of a prominent married barrister, Melville Farr, (Dirk Bogarde) against a ring of London flmailers, who were extorting money from a young construction worker named "Boy" Barrett, with whom Farr had become emotionally, but not sexually involved, and who committed suicide rather than exposing the barrister.
		Victim became a highly sociologically significant film; many believe it played an influential role in liberalizing attitudes (as well as British law) regarding homosexuality.

	Criminal Court
		Victim Advocates, friends/family of the victim, etc., are also allowed in the courtroom.
		Victims are questioned by the prosecutor and cross-examined by the defense.
		Victims are often asked to wait around after they've testified, in the event either party wishes to put them back on the stand for additional questions or for clarification of testimony they gave.

	Isolation and Subjugation: The Telephone in the Slasher Film
		Towards the end of the film the two survivors, discovering that something is not right at the camp (all their friends seem to have disappeared!) rush to an office to call the police only to find the killer has cut the phone line.
		Although notions of the telephone as a weapon or an instrument may be present in the one film, it seems that the modern horror films represent the telephone as a weapon for subjugation rather than an instrument for isolation.
		They are familiar with the slasher film rules: “don't answer the door, don't leave the house, don't answer the phone” (20).Yet, somehow, they still end up falling victim to the conventions because the violence of the horror movies they watch is so prevalent and dramatised that they have grown desensitised to it.

		SENTENCING THE VICTIM is the story of how a blood soaked 19-year-old was able to walk away from her attackers, save her friend from certain death and continue fighting for the convictions of her assailants—and for the rights of crime victims everywhere.
		Victims who wish to oppose parole for their attackers must subject themselves to an emotionally agonizing experience that must be repeated year after year.
		SENTENCING THE VICTIM is the story of one woman's journey to heal, opening our eyes to the inequities of our judicial system—a system which often imposes scars upon the same violent crime victims it is designed to protect.

		Victim was ahead of its time--it was the first English-language movie to use the word "homosexual"--and as such it seems quaint and stilted at times.
		This film from the Rank organisation directed by Basil Dearden was a landmark in cinema history as allegedly the first to mention the ten-letter word "homosexual" (though the use of "queer" reads as more of a shock).
		The victims of both the legal system and the homophobic flmailers presente here are all men, with no mention of whether this law also applied to lesbians, though presumably the offence they could be convicted of is less associated with women (and not uncommon in heterosexual behaviour).

	Sharks on Film: Great White (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Before the film came out, Universal Studios took quick note of the uncanny resemblance this film had to films from their JAWS franchise...
		Since the occurrence does not happen on film, we are not sure of much, other than the shark somehow rips the man apart while Ed is in the lower part of his boat.
		Throughout the film, whenever the shark breaks water, the camera angle and movement bear a striking resemblance to the poster shark for JAWS.

		In Suspira a victim smashes through an art deco skylight, covering the tile floor below in blood – it is a disaster that ruins the perfectly geometric architecture, but the scene is a thing of technical expertise: built with fluid camerawork, balanced compositions, vibrant colors, and an aural highlight in the score.
		Argento demonstrates his penchant for such aesthetically distinguished deaths continually (among my favorites is the victim in Tenebre who paints a wall with the flurry of blood hosing out of her freshly dissected forearm), but it is secondary to his in intention to frighten.
		Late in the film, the crows are released en masse upon a full house in search of the attending killer (shot in an astounding, uninterrupted point of view that spirals down from the venue’s ceiling).

		The film downplays the horrors of the murder by soliciting empathy for the perpetrator of the crime.
		In the film, Leland is sent to juvenile detention after he stabs Ryan (Michael Welch), the autistic brother of his girlfriend (Jena Malone), in a public park.
		The violence is explained in part by the victim's characteristics, and the emphasized characteristics are not shared by the audience (the mother's statement that there is "nothing there" in this victim epitomizes this).

	The Crimeless Victim \| Film \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Writer/director Jeremy Podeswa has placed a self-conscious title on an unselfconscious film, the virtues of which far exceed the formal detail referred to in the title.
		But the film isn't about the senses at all; it's about sensuality beyond the senses, where the texture of a hardwood pew makes the sound of a church choir, and badly baked bread is a moral transgression.
		Yet the film is by no means a mere formal exercise.

	“Snuffing” Hollywood: Transmedia Horror in Tesis
		The film exploitatively employs a transnational generic register to express an utter rejection of the privileged status of violent imagery in the broader Spanish mediascape.
		At the end of the film, when the standard generic code of the horror-thriller takes grip of the narrative and Ángela manages to release herself from Bosco and kill him, we are back in a comfort zone in as much as the genre film is a socially acceptable discourse for the representation of violence.
		While the film does indeed reject the brainless consumption of violent audiovisual, its narrative trajectory simultaneously points to the inevitability of such an act, while emphasizing the thin line that divides mass consumption of generically coded narratives of violence and its respective underworld: snuff.

		The film's elements of spectatorship are inextricably bound to and informed by Argento's compositional allowances.

		And while on the subject of acting you can't ask for better character development than from the victim himself: from feeling sorry for the guy, to wondering if he was mental, to really finding out how much a creep he was.
		There has been endless debate on the film's plot which leaves the viewer asking themselves: "How much of it is supernatural?", "How much if it is just plain human crime?"...whatever it may be, this film is a great exercise for those who appreciate a good mystery.
		There are known to be some VCD versions of this film that feature "ghostly" figures floating around towards the end.

		What may be most disturbing is the fact that churches admit to not responding to complaints involving little girls, claiming it as "normal sexual curiosity." They don't see a difference in a victim that is five years old or 50 years old.
		The film's director Amy Berg spent a total of four years investigating pedophile priests for CBS and CNN.

	kamera.co.uk - film review - Victim directed by Director: Basil Dearden - reviewed by Ben McCann
		Released less than a year after Dearden's jaunty heist caper The League of Gentlemen (1960), Victim (1961) is an entirely different prospect, with its exploration of homosexuality and prejudice in middle-class Kensington placing it at the other end of the spectrum.
		This is a compelling work by Dearden, who opts to film much of this social document as a kind of film noir thriller.
		In many ways, his brave performance in Victim marks the transition from sculptured matinee idol to tortured deviant that would result in the hauntingly elegiac Death in Venice (1971) and the unremittingly bleak The Night Porter (1973).

	'Victim' tops at Kinotavr
		SOCHI, Russia -- "Playing the Victim," film and theater director Kirill Serebrennikov's dark drama about life in modern Russia, took top prize at the closing of the 17th edition of the Kinotavr national film festival in the southern Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.
		An absurdist take on the emptiness of contemporary life in Moscow, "Victim" was a surprise jury choice at a festival with a strong competition lineup, in which 14 out of 15 films were premieres.
		In the film -- an adaptation of the stage play by brothers Oleg and Vladimir Presnyakov -- university graduate Valya (Yuri Chursin) slips into a meaningless job playing the murder victim in pointless police crime re-enactments and is dogged by allusions to Hamlet and bedeviled by a nihilistic mantra -- "I don't live."
