Rating: 4.0
Just because
First off people, this movie goes way over the top with the rape, I agree with all the one star reviews that it is a perverted rape sequence, that the director put in as mere exploitation. I think the material could've been handled better, like in Last house on the left, but it wasn't. I give it four stars however, because i like revenge flicks, and I like the plot. The directing with such a miniscule budget was good. And the storyline was good. Also it is a reality, and a movie that people can look at as a reality. I'm not saying the director meant it to be this way, because I don't think so. I agree with Roger Ebert in the film being "Vile trash" but I think it adds something accidentally to the psyche of everything. It's a film that is good to have if you're a revenge fan, if you have Death Wish, The Limey, the Punisher, Spawn, and other movies like that, then get this movie. Just because it has something to offer even though it doesn't have that much.
