Linda Blair stars as Brenda, the leader of a group of high school girls called "The Satins".
One night they run afoul of a group of punks and play a prank on them. The leader of the gang called "Scars" is named Jake (Robert Dryer) is psychotic and they plot revenge. Only problem is is that they take their revenge seriously.
They kill one member of the group and then violently rape Brenda's mute sister Heather (Linnea Quigley). Brenda sets out with a tight leather jump suit, knives and a crossbow to kill the "Scars" one by one.
The violence quotient is upped considerably as the movie progresses and Blair does a damn good job as the young woman seeking the ultimate revenge. The blood flows freely as the gang members die one by one.
This movie contains some priceless dialogue and many scenes that are not easily forgotten. The rape scene is particularly disturbing. It just might be the most disturbing scene of it's kind in cinema history.
John Vernon turns in an unforgettable performance as the principle of the high school. This has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it in the mid 90's on VHS and cable TV.
The print and sound quality are excellent and the disc has many interviews with the cast. My favorite is, of course, the interview with lovely Linda Blair. One of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
The disc is hosted by Katarina Leigh Waters who gives us plenty of background info on the movie and the cast. It's always a pleasure to have her host the movies, and I hope there are many more to come.
A top notch release for 2018. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
