    This is a bad low-budget psychological horror movie, mostly because of the technical side of it. Overall, not worth seeing.

    An alright Rape-Revenge flick featuring Harry Reems. Has a good concept and good pacing, but unfortunantly is brought down by poor lighting, bad dialouge, an annoying leading lady etc. That isn't to say that this is a total failure either, it isn\t, I just feel it could have been... read more done better. It is what it is though, an early 80's expolitation flick so it's flaws are to be expected. I would still give this a passing grade. I thought that questionable sanity of the leading lady did create a good amount of suspense and mystery. Are these vivid flash backs, or is she actually being stalked by a new group of rapists. That question is answered by the end, but I think it would have been more interesting if they left that open for the audience to decide for themselves. I don't buy that they were just "playing a joke" for a minute. Gore is pretty much non existent here, but the kill scenes do imply enough, Worth a watch for R n R fans. Just don't be expecting a classic like Last House on the Left or I Spit on Your Grave,

    Bad actors, bad camera, lights, dialogue, etc. The story is okay, and semi realistic to begin with, but the other elements ruin it.
