Viol sans issue

I wanted to watch this one sense I am a fan of films such as "Last House on the Left" and "Maniac". This film follows in this same gener only less satisfying to watch than those above. This movie is about a garage worker who leads a double life as a serial rapeist, watching young women and taking advantage of them at the apropriate moment. He stutters when he's with a girl and starts to feel nervous which I felt was unapprpriate for the movie. Then we see him making his move towards the victim and them the movie switches to a different scene and then later on in the movie like when we see the killer watching TV or drinking a beer or scratching his rabbit which is his only friend we see flashbacks of what happened between the killer and the unfortunate victim which we should have seen while he was killing the victim. This I also found unnecisary in the movie. The part that I did like in the movie as compared to "Maniac" was the fact that we get to see what the killers thinking and just why he commits these murders and I liked that. Always wanted to know just what made those serial killers tick. But this one didn't tick to much for me, I gave it a 4.

Opening with an unseen attacker ranting about hookers, followed by some ridiculous set up assaults on female victims, "Forced Entry" has few redeeming qualities, and is in fact a quite tedious exploitation film. The psycho rapist, Ron Max, comes across as nothing more than a weak David Hess clone. Slow motion assaults are repeated in dream sequences, while voice overs further weaken an already weak screenplay. The climactic home invasion takes forever to get underway, as Tanya Roberts talks on the phone, makes tea, reads magazines etc. This movie actually pushes the viewers patience to the breaking point, and is not recommended even for die hard exploitation fans. - MERK

I saw the first editing of this film (director' cut ?) in the Cannes Filmmarket under the title THE LAST VICTIM. I remember being the only one person in the screening room. I can assure it was a hell of a movie, very disturbing and, YES, very much in the spirit of a yet to come MANIAC. When the film appeared on Video format under the identity of FORCED ENTRY, I remember being very disappointed because a lot of graphic violence had been edited and a stupid commentary was supposed to give the killer point of view to temper the infamous character of the film. The film was now "ordinary stuff "and was more a vehicle for Miss Tanya Roberts" growing fame of the moment. It's a pity that this great "flower of evil" film is impossible to discover in it's original form. I know a VHS have been released in U.K under the title THE LAST VICTIM in the early times of video and was banned by the Nasty Movie law in the 80's. Can anybody help me to find a copy of this original version ? Please Mr Sotos do something! I am sure a DVD double feature edition with both original and re-edited versions would be a commercial success and will give this rarity of yours the place he deserve in Horror genre.

This movie will no doubt offend many viewers. The story is seen through the eyes of a serial rapist. The movie is notable for early appearances by Nancy Allen and Tanya Roberts. The serial rapist is played convincingly by Ron Max who despises women and feels an urge to lash out and hurt any young attractive women. He sees them as "sluts". The viewer cannot help but feel for the young red-haired woman who has car trouble. When she sees the serial rapist pull up in his van ... Well, let's just say he puts his hands to use. He has a number of other crime conquests throughout the movie. I won't give away the ending but I would call this a gripping movie of sorts.

Unknown to most people who are not true down in the dirt fans of all the sleaze / horror that used to dwell on the seedy, shadowy screens of N.Y.'s 42nd St. theaters in the 70's, this watered down version of Forced Entry is actually a remake of a film by the same title that came out a year or two earlier. The original was an XXX rated hardcore nightmare that starred a much younger porn legend Harry Reems (from Deep Throat fame) as the brutal killer / gas station attendant. The story is almost identical to this version, but is WAY more intense & disturbing.

The basic plot of this R - rated version revolves around a disturbed service station attendant named Carl who gets female customers info when they pay for gas & such with credit cards. He then proceeds to stalk them, and brutally rape & kill them in a vicious fashion. He not only rapes & kills them, but he rants & taunts them while in the process. This remake is a vein attempt to cash in on the originals viciousness & the then current stream of "Last House on the Left" rip offs. The highlight, though, is seeing the hot, young Nancy Allen & Tanya Roberts. But, if you want real nightmares, try to track down the original XXX version starring Harry Reems under the Pseudonym Tim Long. It's much more powerful than this lame R rated rip off.
