Featured review
KARTAL YUVASI is better known as TURKISH STRAW DOGS, a straight-up remake of the Peckinpah classic that copies many scenes closely while making key changes along the way. There's the home-as-refuge trope, the marauding bandit gang, the blonde wife who gets attacked by male predators. Yet, oddly, there's no Dustin Hoffman in this one, rather an ass-kicking granny character who has to take the fight to the bad guys when her home gets invaded. This Turkish exploitation movie offers choppy editing, a little gore, and a random juxtaposition of rape and birth...I'm not quite sure what the message of that was. The patriotic scenes of Turks battling Greeks over Cyprus are hilarious.
