Product: Day of the Woman (1978)
Rating: 4.0
This refers to the Blu-Ray from Anchor Bay!
Attractive New York City-girl Jennifer (Camille Keaton) is taking a vacation in the countryside for peace and for writing her first novel, however when 4 rowdy locals (Eron Tabor, Richard Pace, Anthony Nicoles and Gunter Kleeman) attack her, strip her, rape her and leave her for dead. However she soon starts taking revenge on the men in horrific ways.A highly disturbing and revolting horror thriller from writer-director Meir Zarichi is one of the most infamous films of all time! since 1978 and 1980, this movie was widely banned or censored in some countries. The film was slammed by critics upon it's release even by Siskel and Ebert who declared it the worst film they ever seen and Siskel nearly walked out on it but some called it degenerate trash while some call it a feminist film as a few critics liked it including legendary Joe Bob Briggs. It has became legendary and a best seller in the video market back in the 80s and 90s as it still has the power to shock and appall viewers, this movie was near an X rating as it has graphic violence, nudity and graphic rape. I saw this when i was 15 when i rented it in the mid 90s and it made me sick even with that horrifying castration scene, but miss Keaton is gorgeous and courageous in this movie as she knows how to kill the baddies. A remake was made in 2010 but not as disturbing as this movie but it was still a fun remake, however this movie is still one of the most nastiest films i've ever seen.The Anchor Bay Blu-Ray contains good picture and sound quality as they deliver with extras like 2 audio commentaries with one by Joe Bob Briggs and Meir Zarchi, a featurette, poster-and-still gallery, TV spots, trailers, radio spots and alternate main title. One of Anchor Bay's best releases so far to a hard to watch cult fave.
