Hello, hello! Time for another episode of Mondo Squallido. Today we are looking at a film that you will all probably know and has been reviewed by every sleaze ball. We are of course looking at the exploitation film to end all exploitation films Thriller: A Cruel Picture (They Call Her One Eye, Swedish Vice Girl, Hooker’s Revenge) from 1974, directed by Bo Arne Vibenius. Why am I reviewing this? It’s one of my favourite films of all time and it’s films like this that made me start Mondo Squallido. So sit back, relax and enjoy people…

Movies like The Big Bad frustrate me. It's clear there's talent involved, but in service of what? The filmmakers obviously had some cool ideas, but they've been stitched together in such a way that we're not provided an emotional context, and by the time we are provided one, it's too late.

Think about it like this: A talented seamstress delivers to you a nicely made winter coat, but with no buttons. The coat is okay and all but, man, it really needs some buttons.

As a werewolf riff on "Little Red Riding Hood," The Big Bad does have a plot, but the tale is told in what is essentially a series of three setpieces that seem more concerned with style than story. I guess these sections could be described as acts, »
