Standout Aspects

Acting

Judith Marie-Bergan's committed performance in an impossible role.

Direction

Joseph Zito's early work showing raw exploitation instincts before Friday the 13th.

Best for:Solo: Late-night cult movie rabbit hole when you want something genuinely unhinged.·Friends: With friends who appreciate trashy 70s exploitation and wild historical curiosities.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Exploitation-era sexual violence and nudity throughout; dated and uncomfortable.·Disturbing: Racial stereotypes and revolutionary rhetoric that hasn't aged well.
