Beaver rage

I noticed on the Net that this one isn't available on DVD and neither on VHS in the US. So for me as an European I was able to catch the ex rental VHS. Watch out, there are two movies from that time titled Bloodrage. This flick here is the bloodless one, the other one is available on DVD but totally ripped to pieces, you have to catch the VHS which is the only one uncut. Anyway, this flick came out on the Vipco label and stated as the bloodiest of their collection. Don't believe it. What's nice of this one are the shots made in New York. Depravity New York, still with their pornshops and grindhouses. I was once their too at 42nd but they started to tear places down. The movie starts of pretty well with a shy boy, a peeping tom, visiting a hooker. It gets out of hand and things aren't pretty well for him as for the hooker. That's the bloodiest part of the movie, well done too, so very promising. When he gets to New York the movie turns over into T&A. Nothing to do with the plot of the movie and it all falls down slowly, it's a shame 'cause his second killing was nice too. And then we go on from one full bush shot to another. Nothing else happens, playing peeping tom and suddenly the cop tracks him down with an surprising end. So almost no blood, sometimes really boring and a lot of titties and 70's bushes.
