Thriller - A Cruel Picture (Thriller - en grym film) (Hooker's Revenge) (They Call Her One Eye)

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacanas, o elenco é mais ou menos, e só a garota ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é boa, os personagens sao mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, mas também o filme teve cenas pesadas de sexo explícito e com mortes da garota com um tapa olho, que detalhe a Ellen Driven do Kill Bill é referência a essa garota do filme, é também a Ellen driven usa um tapa olho, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo esse filme.

Excellent female revenge thriller. I love the girl/woman kickass films where they get retribution on the ones who have done them wrong. And this was a good film noir.

Thriller: A Cruel Picture is unflinching and visceral. Not for the faint of heart.

Unbelievable! I might be the only one around here that likes this sort of thing. The most ridiculous thing about the film is the super close up hardcore sex scenes which I've never seen in any other movie. If it wasn't for that it wouldn't be so bad.

Kill Bill is nothing compared to this ;)

A quiet girl, Madeleine (Christina Lindberg), is sexually assaulted during her childhood, and the trauma makes her mute. One day when she is older she accepts a ride from a man, Tony (Heinz Hopf), who makes her a heroin addict, and then becomes her pimp. To hide the fact that she was kidnapped, the Pimp writes hateful letters to the parents who become so distraught they commit suicide. At one point, she is stabbed in the eye for refusing a client. Madeleine then begins saving money to purchase a car to escape and take lessons in driving, shooting, and martial arts in order to take revenge... "Thriller - A Cruel Picture" also known as "They Call Her One Eye", "Hooker's Revenge" and "Thriller" is a 1973 Swedish exploitation film in the "rape and revenge" genre written and directed by Bo Arne Vibenius under the name Alex Fridolinski. This is one of those films you have red about, but never gotten to see. Until now. Got hold of a copy at the local flee market and to be honset I did expect a poor mans exploitation "rape and revenge" film, but low and behold it actually does have all sorts of qualities despite being a low budget trashy film. The story is of course quite disturbing in many ways and the exploitation of the mute and sweet Madeleine is not for the weak ones. The camera work is however nicely experimental and dynamic (Love the scene when the camera is placed on top of the speeding police car, between the two blaring sirens) and I love how Vibenius use the camera as the eyes of the characters on numerous occasions. The hardcore porn footage is of course questionable, as the infamous eye-gauging scene. It´s quite clear that the lovely Christina Lindberg is not involved in the porngraphic scenes as the editing is not properly coherent. Does this however add anything to the already strong abuse of Madeleine? Not really, but at the same time I like the fact that Vibenius took this as far as possible to create an impact on the screen. The same goes for his obvious action scene inspiration from Sam Peckinpah and the slow motion ultra violence truly adds a strong layer in the film. The impact of Madeleine all clad in black with her eyepatch and a shotgun is not something you forget either. There´s stark imagery and symbolism in her path to revenge. Plus there´s a truly evil Heinz Hopf as Tony. So, "Thriller" is not always logic and the dramatic scene structure isn´t always functional. Despite the fact that this belongs to a genre that is not fully of my liking, I did enjoy this exploitation flick as much as I did with Abel Ferrara´s "Ms. 45" which obviously was inspired by "Thriller". Trivia: Bo Arne Vibenius made this film to cover up the financial failure of his first film. His intention was to create "a commercial-as-hell crap-film". The actors had a clause in their contracts to ensure that they would not reveal who the director of the film really was. Swedish censorship banned the film in April 4, 1973. Despite the tag line, this is not the first Swedish film to be banned in Sweden, that was Trädgårdsmästaren (1912).

A bit slow and depicts unnecessary hardcore porn, but this movie still has some noteworthy aspects to it. This is one of the most violent movies ever made. No, it's not filled with over-the-top blood or deaths, but the way the deaths are depicted in slow motion with one of the creepiest soundtracks makes this a more disturbing than average revenge movie. This is a really dark movie and I would never recommend this movie to most people, but those who enjoy these kinds of movies may find something special here.

This Swedish exploitation film is truly sick material.

Sem ser particularmente interessante como objecto isolado, "Thriller - A Cruel Picture" proporciona algum gozo nas ligações que mantém com "Ms. 45" (Ferrara), as mulheres furiosas de Tarantino e o estigma de Christina Lindberg, respectivamente. Sobre "Ms. 45" e a armada feminina de Tarantino pode-se dizer que não seriam as mesmas sem as referências de estilo oferecidas por "Thriller", que, à boa maneira europeia (sueca por acaso), mostra tudo quando chega a altura disso. Depois é impossível fugir ao facto de "Thriller" ser o filme em que o realizador liberta finalmente Christina Lindberg (ícone softcore) para que se possa vingar de toda a exploração sofrida neste e noutros filmes. E a novela dessa vingança oscila entre o divertido e o enfadonho, dificultando assim um veredicto claro sobre esta obscuridade.

A stupendously stupid and yet fascinating Swedish Movie, one of hte two sources that Tarantino cited for Kill bill. Also known as 'They call her one eye' and 'Hooker's Revenge' this exploitation oddity has a young mute girl (unable to speak after being raped as a child) kidnapped, hooked on drugs and turned to prostitution by a moustache twirling villain. She proceeds to train in martial arts and other endeavours and go on a rampage. The movie is definitely terrible but it is a bizarre kind of terrible that you can't stop watching. The pacing is dreadfully slow and, at least in the cut that i watched (the 'limited edition uncut') it is peppered with really out of place 15-20 second clip of hardcore pornography, clearly edited in at some point after the master cut was done. The main actress is stunningly beautiful and manages to convey emotion without speaking a single word or making faces even if at some point the movie seems farcical. There is an acutely disturbing scene at one point (how the girl get her 'one eye' nickname) so if you're squeamish, beware. Hilarious at parts, horrible at others and a bit dull overall Thriller is not really worth watching unless you really want to track down some of Tarantino's cinematic origins.
