Viewers complaints it was boring


I wanted to watch this movie, more out of curiosity to see if it was as bad as most viewers claimed.
Odd, the movie was always rented out in both Redbox machines near my home. Odder still, RATTER disappeared from both machines, that is, it is no longer available for rent. It's possible some renters never returned it because popular movies remain in Redbox machines longer.

The problem with RATTER, I think, is that the movie was made in 2015, when due to political correctness and feminism, film depictions of crimes against women are becoming increasingly taboo.
Had RATTER been filmed in 1992 AND the Internet and computers existed back then, you would have seen a greatly different version of the movie.
There would have been no hesitation in showing female nudity. You would have seen near-explicit sexual scenes.
If you're puzzled, here's why. Between 1987 and 1994 there was a plethora of direct-to-video-rental movies that were mostly of the ACTION THRILLER genre, typically cop/detective crime dramas that included a lot of hard R sexual scenes, e.g., French-kissing, fondling, and near-explicit lovemaking scenes that avoided NC-17 by not showing private parts. And there was always female nudity. Often these rental movies were listed as, unrated, which was legal since those movies were not intended for the movie theaters but only for the rental market, probably a loophole. Those crime and sex dramas were low-budget, never relying on expensive props, sets, and special effects, yet could show decent production values. Unlike many of today's cheap, direct-to-video-rentals, you never had the sense that the movie was being filmed by one guy holding an economy vidcam. I feel that there would still be a demand for that kind of movie. Those kind of unrated or hard R crime & sex video rental movies disappeared after 1994, but a tamer version continues to live on in the LMN cable television channel. LMN features frequent made for cable television movies based on crime & sex, typically the plot involves sexual misconduct by attractive, financially successful professional white people of both genders, leading to crime. Sex is shown but only in PG or PG-13 at best.

hahah you complete knobhead
political correctness and feminism will eat you alive if you're not careful.
political correctness and feminism watches you while you sleep.
political correctness and feminism is making you cry man-tears
political correctness and feminism is ruining the world (for idiots like you)
political correctness and feminism is the whole reason the world thinks you're backwards, and you still can't get a root
political correctness and feminism is the problem, certainly not the issues you have in your own confused little brain

and the film was a boring *beep* waste of time, but it was probably supposed to be. i have a feeling the target market was not dissimilar to that of high school musical..or twilight...
this has nothing to do with political correctness and feminism except in your head.
go have a wank, it'll relieve some of that frustration you have from being an adult virgin in a world sick of you dribbling offensive *beep* with impunity...those days are over, and these days, when you talk *beep* people will call you out on it. suck it up, princess.
