"you were only raped, as long as you don't tell anyone about it you'll be alright. You just pretend it never happened"
The closest thing I can compare this to is 80s slasher ALONE IN THE DARK since they're both about a group of escaped homicidal mental patients. Since this came out in '78 I guess you have to call it a proto-slasher and it really pales in comparison to it's 80s counterpart. There are multiple rapes and murders going on so it is pretty sleazy but it never feels anywhere near as sleazy as similar stuff from this era like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT etc. Fellow British director Peter Walker managed some pretty great stuff at this same time so I guess my main problem with this is comparing it to a lot of the superior exploitation flicks it never quite lives up to.
