Released in 1972 and directed by Wes Craven and written by Sean Cunningham...
The quintessential Rape/Revenge film that inspired the Italians to make a slew of them...This was loosely based on Bergman's The Virgin Spring...
A pair of teenage girls are headed to a rock concert for one's birthday. While trying to score marijuana in the city, the girls are kidnapped by a gang of psychotic convicts.
And then the madness ensues...Torture, rape, more torture, then death...
The bad guys do get theirs in a ironic twist of fate...
Very bleak and pretty disturbing at times. Forced humor in parts try to lighten the movie, but I think they should have stayed serious throughout...
Has a groovy soundtrack as well, which was composed by David Hess, who played Krug (and other very similar characters in the Italian rip offs...more on those later)
Pretty much essential viewing if you want to dive into Exploitation films...
