This film begins with a writer from New York City by the name of "Jennifer Hills" (Camille Keaton) deciding to spend some quiet time in the country to work on a new novel. At first, everything is going smoothly, and she seems to be on good terms with the people in the small town not too far from her cabin on the river. Everything is peaceful and quiet. Then one day, while canoeing on the river, she comes across some young men in a boat with an outboard motor who begin to make a nuisance of themselves. One thing leads to another, and they soon drag her canoe to the shore where they then proceed to brutalize and rape her. To make matters even worse, within a day or two they show up at her cabin and savagely beat and rape her again. This time, however, rather than taking the chance of her reporting them to the police, one of the men named "Matthew Duncan" (Richard Pace) is selected to kill her while the rest of them wait outside. Not wanting to anger his colleagues, he initially agrees but, once inside the cabin has a change of heart and, rather than killing her, smears some of the blood from her body onto his knife and then presents it to the rest of the group to satisfy their concerns. What they don't realize, however, is that Jennifer has no intention of reporting them to the police--and they will soon discover why. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this is an extremely graphic film which some people might find rather disturbing. So, be prepared as this is not a movie for the squeamish. On a completely different note, although this film features a number of action scenes, none of those related to the revenge aspect were very credible. Likewise, other than Camille Keaton, and possibly Eron Tabor (as "Johnny Stillman") none of the other actors really stood out. But that's just my opinion. At any rate, although I certainly don't consider this to be a good movie by any means, it does stand out as being one of the one of the most memorable rape & revenge movies ever produced, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
