Those two don't really compare. It's a rape-revenge movie, so the question is really how you feel about those, if you have seen any?

Obvious titles would be The Last House on the Left, I Spit on Your Grave, Death Wish, or Irréversible.

Personally, I find rape much harder to stomach than most other screen violence, though I do like the genre - not for the rapes, of course, but because the rape-revenge movie talks to a basic feeling of helplessness when confronted with violence and let's us play out a very human fantasy of power and justified revenge.
