This was originally called simply "Revenge" but the title was probably changed to avoid confusing it with other films so named, including an American film released the same year.
There is nothing American about this tale of revenge though, rather this is a typical low budget English drama that was quite common in especially the 1960s, albeit with a slightly unusual theme.
The principal characters are the loved ones of a young girl who has been murdered by a sexual predator, a local man believed to be responsible for at least one similar crime. The film begins with this man being released from police custody, apparently against the weight of the evidence.
Obviously this does not go down too well, so our misguided heroes follow him and their brief, distant interaction convinces them he is indeed the killer, so they decide to kidnap him and beat a confession out of him. What could go wrong?
A lot of things, naturally, and there is not one but two twists in the tale. One warning though - don't try this at home Or anywhere else.
