Also known as House on Straw Hill and Trauma.
Udo Kier is back, this time as a British alcoholic writer in this strange sex thriller. Exposé is the story of him getting a new sexy assistant. On her way to the job she is randomly raped, and hunts the guys down promptly. Kier then starts trying to seduce her, and fails. He resorts to his usual fling, Suzanne, while his new assistant begins to disconnect from reality.
This is a relatively minimal film, which in general I like a lot usually. This one is not going to eschew that trend. It has an A to B, direct story, and has a bit of the paranoia thriller bent to it. The rape scene is mild in comparison to something like I Spit on Your Grave, and the violence is kinda just a whatever thing. Not even a lot of blood in this one.
This fits into the whole realm of "why was this a Video Nasty?" I guess a rape scene is pushing the envelope, but its not mixed with a lot of sexual violence, and its not that long or explicit. There's some light blood n stuff, but yeah. A mild R by today's standards. I give this a solid 3 stars.
