There’s an underground sex trade in Toronto that few people know about. It’s a modern day world of slavery controlled by organized crime that under its thin veil of beauty and seduction is rife with drugs and extreme violence. It’s a world few would deliberately choose to enter, let alone a shy, beautiful 21 year-old girl from Russia like Karma Balint. But unlike the others that inhabit this sleazy world, Karma has one thing and one thing only on her mind. Revenge.
She's also a mute Russian hottie. Seems very similar to They Call Her One Eye and Ms. 45 doesn't it?
The movie will be making its premiere, July 11th at the Fantasia Film Fest in Montreal.
Check out the trailer below. Thanks to Arrow in the Head for the update.
With the remake of The Last House on the Left coming out today, I'd figure I'd get you noobs caught up on this subgenre of exploitation films. For you jaded viewers, move along, these aren't the droids your looking for.
There seems to be a reimagining boom for this genre. Run Bitch Run comes out this year, plenty more will probably come up if Last House grosses a jillion dollars.
There's a few on this list that I'm not covering from what you can read here. I love how Wikipedia summarizes rape and revenge movies in the same ole 3 act structure:
Act I: A woman is raped/gang raped, tortured, and left for dead.
Act II: The woman survives and rehabilitates herself.
Act III: The woman kills all of her rapists.
But check out the trailers below to see whats come before.
Honorable mentions: I Spit on Your Grave, Dogville, the Virgin Springs
Also, House on the Edge of the Park should be on this list as well as it was #2 on my Top 10 Ruggero Deodato Movies of All Time. I've placed that as a bonus trailer at the bottom.
Why it kicks ass: Gasper Noe's reverse chrono flick features Monica Belluci in a sick 20 minute plus rape scene and the most fraked up use of a fire extinguisher as a deadly weapon.
Why it kicks ass: Starring the beautiful Christina Lindberg, this movie has everything you need in your revenge bent vixen: an eyepatch, a shotgun and she's frakin mute. What more needs to be said?
Why it kicks ass: Wes Craven's first movie delivers the exploitation goods. It should be watched in all its grindhouse glory and not in a shitty remake.
Why it kicks ass: Abel Ferrara's masterpiece of NYC slime and crime. Zoe Lund plays Thana who gets raped twice and then goes all revengy armed in a nun's outfit and a .45. The ending is like an LSD trip of awesomeness.
IT'S A BONUS TRAILER!!!
House on the Edge of the Park which is a glorious #6.
The subgenre of rape and revenge is still alive and kickin. But this time with a twist. Because it seems our heroine in this one kicks ass for all exploited women. Tack another Must See exploitation/grindhouse movies of 2009.
