Got a chance to check this one out at a recent theatrical showing. Having never seen it before, but having viewed directors Beverly and Ferd Sebastian's earlier THE HITCHHIKERS just a few days before, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Luckily this one was way better than their previous film. It had a real I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE feeling to it all in that special way only very rapey 70's cinema can. Of course it never gets quite as lurid as I SPIT... but there's still s shotgun to a vagina, lots of swampy gun-fu and tons of revenge. So if sister-humping Cajun rednecks are you're thing give this a look.
Star Claudia Jennings, who is amazing in this, her greatest role, went on to be in a bunch of 70's exploitation films and various T.V. series, apparently even coming close to being in CHARLIE'S ANGELS, before being tragically killed in a car crash.
There is a sequel that didn't come out, on video, until way later in 1988. I hear good things about that one though shot-on-video is not a tempting phrase at all.
