About
You may like this if you want a grim, gritty exploitation-era thriller with disturbing violence and a revenge angle, in the vein of The Hills Have Eyes; Not for you if you avoid sexual violence, bleak cruelty, or tonal whiplash.
Pros: gritty, unsettling realism; memorable revenge payoff; strong shock factor | Cons: jarring comic relief; uneven tone and music; low-budget roughness
