Pussy Kills

This entry into the rape-revenge genre is more pulpy, campy, and low-budget that the more sadistic 'I spit on your Grave', which everyone seems to bring up. The bodacious main actress embodies the role down to the T and the story moves along at a nice pace. Loved the visuals and the montages, and of course, Lina Maya.

The rape/revenge genre has been trite and tired since the can was closed on the original Day of the Woman film. Still, "fans" of the genre use that to their advantage, knowing that the stilted genre contains at least three guaranteed bits: nudity, graphic violence, and revenge that leaves the rapists wishing they were never born. This film? It contains none of that. At all.

Attempting to be a study of some sort of Psych 101 level of dissociation, the film contains no writing or acting that can capture even a hint of what it tries to, other than a handful of tight shots of the main actresses butt in an awful catsuit. I couldn't tell what made me cringe more: the stilted acting, or the terrible entry-level CGI blood in the one or two scenes where they bother showing any.

It's a wandering, poorly acted, poorly situated film that isn't even in the so-bad-it's good wheelhouse. It's just plain bad.

Do not usually review many as I tend to read reviews more than review titles... This is seriously bad, so bad I could not continue watching it. Not sure how it got the rating it has to be fair. Life is far too short to waste time on this ...The acting is terrible its fragmented and all over the place. The story I guess is similar to 'I spit on your grave' but this is actually worse.

This was a fun and efficient little flick that was entertaining throughout and most definitely offered something I hadn't seen before --- an R-rated rape-revenge flick with the heroine dressed as a sexy pussycat. Although it does follow the rape-revenge formula established by films such as 'I spit on your grave', it does have a nifty little twist and far more of a story than most rape-revenge films I've seen. Lina Maya is drop-dead gorgeous and there will be plenty of eye candy for you to feast your eyes on. The cinematography is pretty in your face in the sense that it doesn't try to hide the fact that it is an exploitation film - so yeah, there are a lot of booty shots. The Close Shots were also framed as to include the actresses' ample bosom. The budget is noticeably tight at times but regardless, it was very watchable with some funny dialogue, eye candy and well-paced story.

So, I rented this movie on Vimeo for 2 bucks hoping to see something in the vein of 'I spit on your grave' or 'American Mary'. It had more action violence than torture but that was fine; it went well with the movie. It delivered on the action. Delivered on the sexuality (the chick is running around in a Pussycat costume slaying thugs). Definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of the genre.
