This one reminded me of the 70s rape/revenge epic RAPE SQUAD but where that one was a total exploitation classic about a group of ladies seeking revenge by kung-fuing the crap out of their attackers this one, possibly because it was based on a book, plays out more along the lines of one of those Lifetime TV-movies for women that were popular back in the day and exchanges 70s kung-fu chicks for a group of suburban mom-types. They take that old idea of "every rapist should have his balls cut off" and put it into action by enlisting the aid of a lady doctor to do just that after they drug and capture some racist scumbag(the first victim of this is played by that kill-crazy chubby dude from DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE(Nicholas Worth) in another fitting role). While it does get super-dramatic at times, as you would expect, it's still a pretty decent 80s update(complete with punk rocker bad guys) of the sleazy rape/revenge genre. AKA VIOLATED and THE SISTERHOOD(which is also the name of the novel it's based on)
A mad journey into the mind of the depraved!
