Argentinian rape/revenge flick which, of course, takes I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE as it's blueprint and amps everything up by giving us four women instead of one. The group come across a woman who has been attacked earlier by a rape-happy group of townsfolk and from there things get nasty for everyone. I'm thinking this town has got to be the worst place to live if you happen to be a woman. Full of long scenes of brutality, rape, murder and ultimately some very satisfying and gory revenge sequences this is better than most modern horror/revenge movies. This is most likely because it is not American and therefore not afraid to push boundaries. The director has this weird thing were he holds certain shots for an inordinate amount of time which gives everything a weird/artsy feeling. Features wanton use of a hammer in a few nasty scenes. Not the most complex thing you will ever see but for what it is it's done well and works on the emotional level that it's going for. This one would fit right into the 70's exploitation genre if it was made about 30 years earlier and that's good enough for me to recommend it to not overly sensitive types.
