Being a brutal film and made on a very low budget, it used unknown actors. From the cast, I don't think it's worth talking. The worst, however, is the way these guys died in the film: their deaths never sound credible and it is perfectly clear that it is all pretending. However, it worked out in its purpose: it shows in a harsh way the effects of a rape from the victim's perspective, and we can feel sorry for her and pity for the situation she is in. Controversial, the film was so harsh that even when it went to the theaters it received harsh criticism and some boycotts, even being withdrawn from theaters. Finally, they have the idea of killing her, but the guy who should have done it was not able to actually do it, and pretended to commit the crime. The film has a long (the longest ever in a regular movie) rape sequence in which four men, one after the other, rape, insult and brutalize that young girl until she is unable to walk or to stand. But this nudity wasn't meant to excite or look sexy: is brutal. It seems to me to be very much in line with the thinking and fashions of the Seventies, fertile in films with nudity and sexuality related themes. In fact, the film is quite difficult to watch and totally inadvisable for children, young teenagers or even more impressionable adults! The film's theme is the rape of a young woman on vacation in a rural place, as well as her revenge on whoever raped her.

And you will hear a nice story about Wizard Video's shrewd business dealings.This film has been around for a few decades but it has not become a classic, perhaps, because it's as shocking as it is. Of course, if you want to actually see Meir Zarchi's face, here is your chance. There is also a 29-minute special feature called "The Values of Vengeance" which is insightful, though does not cover much the commentary does not.
This could have been a career killer, and perhaps it was, though it has sealed her place in cult film history. And Camille Keaton has to be honored for such dark subject matter and tackling it head-on. The film is a natural step from "Last House on the Left", actually upping the ante. What should we make of the church scene? Can you reconcile Christian beliefs with murder or revenge? That is not a question I choose to answer, but certainly a question raised by this film, whether intentionally or otherwise. Indeed, the film has a pretty thin plot, but its point is clear, and even the attackers get fleshed out a bit in the second half. Mike Mayo praises the film to a point, but considers it "crude and single-minded" and suggests viewers check out Abel Ferrara's "Ms. Then again, even cut, it is a shocking film - what would be a two minute scene in some films goes on over an hour here. Those who do not know what to expect may be very shocked by this film if they see it uncut.
The film is certainly the most explicit up to the time it was made, and some might even say up until today.
At this point the director realized that being questioned by the police is not the solution to the rape - at least not yet - but the continuation of it. They brought the young woman to the police, but allegedly the officer on duty was not very concerned. where do you go after you reach the lowest possible point in your life? The director's commentary with Mier Zarchi begins by revisiting the history and controversy over the film - is it a story that is sick and makes woman out to be nothing more than a sexual object, or is it a feminist film where the "day of the woman" allows the victim to strike back? Zarchi finally reveals the film's inspiration: in the early 1970s, he and his friend Alex Pfau (a protégé of Roman Polanski) witnessed a rape victim after the fact, her body naked, bloody and broken. Not much later, things go from tranquil to nightmarish for her. A young woman (Camille Keaton) is spotted by a group of men while writing near a river.
