Good story, Not enough for a whole film
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Wow! Is that opening song bad, and the worst part is it reappears during the movie. What is not so bad is "Naked Vengeance", which delivers a well acted revenge plot, stereotypical males on parade, and a very sympathetic heroine. Comparable films would include "Ms.45", and of course, "I Spit on Your Grave". Although the box art conveys a "Death Wish" comparison, there is less similarity to the random killing revenge flicks like "Death Wish". "Naked Vengeance" lacks the gratuitous, random violence of "Death Wish", while concentrating on the revenge plot. This is one of the better rape - revenge films out there, and recommended of it's type. - MERK
Hi, My name is Phil Morrell. I worked for Roger Corman and Cannon films 1980/1987 mostly in the art department/set construction. Naked Vengeance was my first and last experience in front of the camera. I played the killer that started the film, and was at the end. It was fun. It's nice to see my name in the credits. As I have just read the guidelines I guess I'd better give my opinion of the film. I think it is a reasonably good film considering the budget. I think it may be one of the first woman vengeance films. I'm no expert. It may be too gruesome for some. It did play on channel 13 in the early 90's although very much censored. I liked it.
The plot is great as well as the presentation of it. I could not believe the rape scene to be anything but REAL. The movie as a whole is really worth viewing and is really enjoyable with all the suspense and tension in it. I think it is a classic, and you will never forget it. Actually, I viewed it for the first time in the cinema, and I find myself looking for it on the internet 15 yrs later. I could not find it yet, but i will continue my digging. In the mean time, I encourage anyone who have a copy to make it available for others as I hate to see such a great movie be forgotten. Deborah Tarnelli was really great on this film and I think this movie had contributed a lot to her later success.
Naked Vengeance has basically the same story as the slow moving "I Spit On Your Grave" which mas made a few years earlier. But this is much better than the original and offers much more than you would expect from a low budget exploitation film. Slick and effective direction by the ever resourceful Santiago, a fast pace, and a remarkable acting job by Dallas star Deborah Tranelli (who also sings the title song!) make this a movie experience you won't soon forget. The movie is hard to find. Let's just hope it's gonna be out on DVD some day. It would definitely deserve it.
