Synapse films did a wonderful
job on this film, restoring all of the footage which had
been cut in various countries. In fact, this may be the
first time an uncut version has ever been seen. There is
both a Swedish and a dubbed English sound track, and the
English dubbing is done very well. There are numerous
special features, including a bunch of publicity stills of
Lindberg naked.

Oh, and when she tries to run, he
cuts out one of her eyes, hence the alternate title.
When she learns that her parents committed suicide because of the
letter, she finally gets mad and gets even. Using her tips, she
studies martial arts, shooting, and advanced driving skills. This
training is intercut with her day job, which includes several
minutes of hard core sex. The last act contains her revenge spree,
which is brutal, explicit and merciless.

The
Critics Vote ...
TV Guide - no stars. "Totally obnoxious and vile action film
starring Lindberg as a young victim of white slavery who is
raped, mutilated, and beaten
throughout most of this film, just so she can
rehabilitate herself physically and return to affect her own
tortures on those who did her wrong. Really depraved stuff
from Sweden."

| The meaning of the IMDb
score: 7.5 usually indicates a level of
excellence equivalent to about three and a half stars
from the critics. 6.0 usually indicates lukewarm
watchability, comparable to approximately two and a half stars
from the critics. The fives are generally not
worthwhile unless they are really your kind of
material, equivalent to about a two star rating from the critics,
or a C- from our system.
Films rated below five are generally awful even if you
like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one
and a half stars from the critics or a D on our scale. (Possibly even less,
depending on just how far below five the rating
is. My own
guideline:
A means the movie is so good it
will appeal to you even if you hate the genre.
B means the movie is not
good enough to win you over if you hate the
genre, but is good enough to do so if you have an
open mind about this type of film.
C means it will only
appeal to genre addicts, and has no crossover
appeal. (C+ means it has no crossover appeal, but
will be considered excellent by genre fans, while
C- indicates that it we found it to
be a poor movie although genre addicts find it watchable).
D means you'll hate it even if you
like the genre.
E
means that you'll hate it even if
you love the genre.
F
means that the film is not only
unappealing across-the-board, but technically
inept as well. Any film rated C- or better is recommended for
fans of that type of film. Any film rated B- or better is
recommended for just about anyone. We don't score films below C-
that often, because we like movies and we think that most of
them have at least a solid niche audience. Now that you know
that, you should have serious reservations about any movie below
C-.
Based on this description,
this is a C+. As
extreme revenge thrillers go, this may be the most extreme.
