Of all the films I've had to review, this is certainly one of the ones I had the toughest time sitting through (please note that this is the uncut European version I am reviewing here, NOT the heavily censored UK print). The film revolves around a young writer named Jennifer Hills (Cammille Keaton) who has decided to rent a lakeside cabin in a small country town whilst she works on her new novel. However, her hopes for peace and quiet are shattered when she catches the attention of a group of young redneck country boys who decide to have a little "fun" with her. Whilst out on the lake in her canoe, they turn up in a motorboat and drag her to shore, where they then spend the next ten minutes of the film brutally gang raping her. She staggers away from her ordeal and tries to make it back to her cabin. Unfortunately, she finds they've decided to come back for some more, and so ends up being held down, battered and raped for a second time. They leave her again, and she finally manages to make it back to her cabin where she attempts to call for help, only to find her attackers are there waiting for her, and so gets beaten up and done over a THIRD time. One of the group, a retarded lad named Mathew, is given a knife and sent back in to finish her off. But finds himself unable to do so, so just smears the knife blade in some blood and tells them he's done it. She spends the next 2 weeks recovering from her ordeal and plotting her revenge on the group who violated her. The first thing she does is lure Mathew, the retarded chap, back to her cabin and leads him into the woods on the promise of some more fun. Unfortunately, as soon as he closes his eyes she slips a noose around his neck and hoists him up on it. She then seduces the second attacker and takes him to the cabin, where she lures him into the bath. Once in the water, she produces a knife and (in one fail swoop) removes his manhood, leaving him to remark "oooh feels so good it hurts" until a sudden spurt of blood shocks him into realising what she's done. The last 2 members of the group, realising that something is amiss, head on over to the cabin in their motorboat to sort her out. Only to get a taste of their own medicine when she suddenly appears and shoves them into the water, then proceeds to drive at them at high speed wielding an axe (you can guess the rest). Brutal, shocking and most definitely not for the fainthearted, the film is in many ways like a female Death Wish. However, many will undoubtedly be put off by the horrendous rape scenes (3 in total, which in the uncut version are stretched out over 40 minutes!!!)which, unless you are watching the VERY heavily truncated UK release, are a pretty unbearable ordeal and had me reaching for the fast-forward button. In either version though, the scenes where she wreaks a bloody revenge will undoubtedly have you cheering for the films heroine. Overall Marks : 7/10. |
