Carla Harris and her husband are out for an anniversary dinner. He is killed while trying to help a woman being attacked. The killer gets away. Carla goes back to her home town. Almost every man is a creep and the sheriff dismisses her. She gets gang-raped by those men and her parents are murdered. Justice demands revenge.
My biggest issue is that no one can assume this is an open and shut case. The only people who suggest it are corrupt, complicit, or moronic. How do they not test Carla with the rape? Even without DNA (which started after this movie), people used to test for blood type and such. I doubt anybody used a condom. There is an assumption right away that there are no other people involved. It's a very odd assumption to make without even dusting for prints. On the other hand, I am willing to give the drunken rapists the ability to stage a bad crime scene. After all, they are drunk and stupid. A better way is for her to escape during the confusion of the shootings. The police wouldn't know about her rape or that she's a witness. She could start killing her rapists and be accused of killing everybody at the house. It would solve a lot of story issues. This is essentially a revenge B-movie like Death Wish or I Spit on your Grave. It's relatively fine for a B-movie. The acting and the production is fair for this level. I love that her rapists lead a mob to hunt her down. I would just make that one change.
