Description Technical Specs
 
Although it has been consistently sold as a horror film over the years, Wes Craven's notorious first feature doesn't really fit into the genre. While the events in the film are certainly horrific, the movie is mainly a grim, upsetting depiction of debasement through violence. Two teenaged girls are raped, tortured and killed by sadistic criminals. When the killers arrive at the home of one of the girls, the enraged parents exact gruesome revenge. Controversial to this day, this thoroughly unpleasant film has been defended in some quarters as a statement against violence. It is certainly not a film, unlike so many exploitation movies, that makes its carnage look "fun." Based loosely on Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring.

Wes Craven---USA---1972---84 mins.
