9/10
Brutal,disturbing and wonderfully audacious film.
3 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A woman(Susanne Hausschmid)refuses to sell the property at any price to the land developers.Her ex-business partners turn her lifo into pure hell.Her husband is beaten to death,her lesbian lover is raped and murdered,her son is also killed and she herself suffers a brutal rape/murder at the hands of her tormentors,before she is resurrected and exacts her bloody revenge in the tradition of "I Spit on Your Grave"."Defenceless" is a brutal and evil film.There is truly sickening knife rape scene that may certainly upset some unprepared viewers.Also the rapist is castrated and has the genitals stuffed in its mouth in graphic detail.Susanne Hausschmid's performance is stunning and the cinematography by Mark Savage is beautiful.So if you are a fan of transgressive horror you can't miss this brutal assault on the viewer's senses.My highest recommendation.
