Disturbing but realistic, 6 September 1999
6/10
Author: kevin-167 from Houston, Texas

Parts of this movie are certainly disturbing. The rapist (Foul Mouth) is convincing as the menacing rapist. The main victim played by Jo Ann Harris is certainly attractive as well as determined to exact revenge. I thought the part of the movie where he forces his victims to sing a song was not only unnecessary but it trivialized the rapes themselves.
