Synopsis
No man will ever be safe again.
SHE WAS ABUSED AND VIOLATED. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! This tough, tense and very exciting revenge thriller reworks the theme of Death Wish with considerable success and, said Hollywood Reporter, it 'should have little trouble in scoring a bulls-eye'. Zoe Tamerlis gives a remarkably fine and convincing performance as Thana, a beautiful and mute young girl who works in the garment district of New York. One evening as she is walking home, she is attacked and brutally raped by a masked man (played by the film's director Abel Ferrara under the pseudonym of Jimmy Laine). And, terrifyingly, when she finally gets back to her apartment she disturbs a burglar who rapes her a second time. She manages to kill him by smashing him in the skull. Thana then takes the burglars .45 automatic and sets out on a reign of vengeance, killing any man who propositions her. Finally when she can wait no longer for men to make the first move, Thana dresses up as a prostitute and sets out to continue her series of 'excecutions'...This film is directed at a non-stop pace by Abel Ferrara and was rightly described as Variety as 'An exciting urban thriller' and one which 'manages to leave an indelible impression'
