Product: Day of the Woman (1978)
Rating: 3.0
A decent edition of a cult classic
First off, a lot of people are throwing this film in with the horror genre, but I can't say I entirely agree with that. Indeed, this film has horror elements, with graphic violence and a bit disturbing rape scene, but I can't say that is enough to classify this film as pure horror. Basically, this is thriller/revenge/horror movie. The plot is pretty simple. A girl is raped and left for dead by 4 guys, but she recovers and goes after them and kills them one by one. With that said, I just don't consider this horror. And I must warn those of you that haven't seen the movie and get upset with graphic rape/violence. This film may not be your cup of tea! Anyway, as far as the film itself, considering the budget and the date it was made, it isn't that bad of a film. The acting isn't that horrible, and the story, though flawed, isn't too bad either. And this edition is pretty good, with a long awaited director commentary as well as a commentary by horror guru Joe Bob Briggs. In closing, this film gets comparisons with the Wes Craven film "Last House on the Left", which I feel is not quite as good.
