Director Friedel recalled that the production sought to extend individual scenes "by any means possible" to give the film a longer running time. Oh really? Perhaps that could explain the like 8 minute scene where the main girl gives her dads shoulder a partial spongebath and then puts shaving cream on his beard only to seemingly decide not to shave him and rub it off?
This is a extremely minimal, barely bones story as indicated above. I guess the idea here is rape revenge, you know that whole thing, and after about 30 minutes you get that setup finally, but wow! Yeah, this just dawdles around doing nothing for many many moments of the film.
Young woman Lisa lives with her disabled grandfather. Her grandfather can just site there, he doesn't move and doesn't speak, and she takes care of him. That's when three mobsters show up and announce they want her to let them stay in the house. She pushes back and they ignore her. She goes to the backroom and is contemplating suicide, but is interrupted, goes upstairs and goes to sleep, and one of them comes in to rape her. During the rape she slashes his neck.
One could dump on the level of incompetence in this. Its so badly recorded, its so poorly acted in dismal nonemotional line readings. It has major plot movement issues and was paper thin to begin with. And overall, nothing is explained or even hinted at... Several of the things you think are going to happen don't, and its a shame because for me at least, I imagined some cool shit!
It's hard to judge this as a real movie, because it does not seem like one. Again, this is more the type of nonsense I expected from Video Nasty, except where is the Nasty? No nudity, the rape scenes are pretty tame, barely any blood... I mean, this is barely R, there's a chance this is PG-13 these days.
Argument against Video Nasty
