This film fits squarely in the rape revenge category however its one of the more extreme examples. The story is quite basic in that a woman is attacked at the start of the movie and the rest of it is her dishing out her own style of justice. That is all.
What marks this out from some of the other in this genre is that almost every single male in the movie is a rapist in waiting. There are no supportive or even normal males in the movie apart from those shes related to. The entire town seems to be populated by women hating offenders. Which even for these kinds of movies it is quite as stretch.
The violence in particular the revenge violence is actually more extreme than you would see in the worst of any Segal movie, its laughably sadistic and over the top. To the extent I was laughing loudly at these scenes as they were so over the top silly. It makes Ms 45 look like a Merchant Ivory production. That surely wasnt what the director would have been aiming for however the levels of overkill are ridiculous.
What also makes absolutely no sense is that we are asked to believe that despite a group of men who firstly obsess over the main character before attacking her, then fail to recognise her when she comes for revenge is just silly beyond words. There is also no explanation as to how she can slip out of secure hospital to murder on a daily basis and return without anyone noticing.
This has entertainment value in the so bad its good category if you have a strong stomach and a twisted sense of humour. What its not is a high quality movie with valid points about violence against women or even a satisfying revenge exploitation flick. Rated low for good reason.
