Ardent update on, 'I Spit On Your Grave' and could easily have used a corruption of that film's alternative title and been called, 'Day of the Women'. This has all of the revenge and only mentions the male violence in passing. It might be considered a slightly less exploitative approach but I don't think so. The most repeated line in this film is, 'Shut the f*** up' and this bunch of ladies are no role models for a decent society. Basically we have beaten housewives forming a go-go club and in their spare time ridding the country of it's rapists. The poor picture quality does not help and encourages the feeling that this is just all a little too amateur in execution and conception. It's violent and gory and if just seeing foul mouthed girls with guns is enough then you'll enjoy this more than I. Brave effort nevertheless.

'Day of the Women'
If it's your thing . . .
Aside from the low quality video, which could compete with porn from the sixties, and absolutely horrendous audio which couldn't, this movie is lacking a thing two.
For instance, some semblance of decent acting. That's missing.
Writing? Well, it's there. I mean, somebody wrote some words. They were poorly chosen and badly assembled, and every character has the same limited vocabulary, but technically it's writing, and it is unfortunately present.
I won't touch the plot. That would be making the same mistake the producers made.
Any real character development must have been saved for the prequel, so there's that. Rather, there isn't.
That's enough words.
A great indie film in the American horror tradition.
I managed to see this at a rare screening during the Fantasia Festival a few years back and I was very impressed. Reminded me of early Abel Ferrara (Ms. 45), Wes Craven (Last House on the Left) or even John Cassavetes (Killing of a Chinese Bookie). The basic story involves a young woman (Deborah Twiss), new to NYC, that is saved from being raped by a feminist vigilante gang. The guerillas take her in and give her a job at their front business, a divey strip club, and introduce her to their night-time revenge raids. It gets pretty intense and twisted from there. Political, creepy and sexy. See this if you get the chance, because I don't think it'll make it to your local Blockbusters.
