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. more

OK, it's different....., 15 April 2006
8/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

This is a Swedish exploitation film that goes a bit further than I really expected, and while that's not a bad thing I guess I was rather surprised at some of what I was seeing. So beware, like don't let the kids hang out while you're watching this? A young girl is molested by an old man in the park and she is so affected by the incident she becomes mute. One day she is going for her therapy treatment & misses the bus, only to accept a ride from a "nice" man, who is by no means nice, and she's hooked on heroin and made to turn tricks in return for her fixes. A real eye-opener here were the sex scenes, because they're not exactly tame or apparently faked. Maybe some of them are just "stock footage" but holy cow...! Anyway this young girl has also lost an eye as punishment for clawing a customer's face, to teach her a lesson. The lucky thing for her though is that she's accumulating a large box full of money under her bed and that she has days off (Mondays) where she can go train to shoot guns, drive cars, and practice martial arts. Not bad for a heroin addict, eh? So yes, there are probably a few things here and there in the film that are highly improbable. When she reaches the point where she's had enough, that is, when one of her fellow junkie/whores is killed, she gets a car, and an arsenal, and takes revenge on her customers & tormentors. Overall this has a good cheap 70's feel to it, and the revenge scenes are mostly in show motion so there's not constant gunfire like in the movies of today (which really bugs me) so I kind of liked this for that too. Yeah, this has plot holes & some pretty far-fetched stuff but manages to still be interesting and I liked it a lot. 8 out of 10, but bring your sense of adventure.
