Note : This is another one of those movies that most everyone has heard of, but not that many people have actually seen. And it's a strange film, on one hand kind of amateurish (the actor playing Matthew, in particular, is so annoying I kind of wish he'd been killed off at the very beginning of the film), but once the graphic violence and rape starts, it's relentlessly realistic, unflinching, and deeply fucked up in a way that goes beyond normal exploitation fare, and it also keeps on going for almost half an hour, which is just very uncomfortable to watch.
The plot should be familiar enough, a young woman from NYC rents a summer house on the river in New England, where a group of idle fuckups take an interest in her, start harrassing her, and end up raping her and leaving her for dead, after which she recovers and prepares her revenge. It's not complicated, but decently well executed, at least after the first act, which kind of drags. The castration scene is probably the high point, and should have been the climax of the film, since the rest is a bit of a let down, but hey, these assholes get what they deserve, and our heroine gets some sort of closure. Maybe.
This is a decent-looking remaster, probably about as good as it gets from the source material, which has some notable exposure and range problems. There's not really enough detail to justify this being remastered in 4k, but might as well, I guess. The 5.1 remaster sounds fine too, although some people prefer the original mono (also included). The director's commentary track is interesting if you can get past the heavy accent, and the Joe Bob Briggs commentary is, well, I'm not a big fan, but it's there.
