Exploitation curio worth watching once
14 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Joseph Peters plays Jay, a loner who stalks Jennie (Jane Linter, her only acting credit) a stripper who never strips and kidnaps her under gunpoint from outside the theatre (the manager deals in stolen guns which get stashed in a cupboard) kidnaps her under gunpoint, takes her to his sleazy bedsit, replete with blow up doll and has sex with her. He then lures her boyfriend to a field and guns him down in front of Jennie for the fun of it. Short of money he kills a petrol station attendant and they hole up in a hotel, alluding that he rapes the girl. Next up he kills an American tourist couple just to get their flashy car. After an argument, Jennie goes home. Jay comes around looking for Jennie, she is out. Jay brutally stabs both her parents and disappears.

Nine months later, Jay is back By now Jennie is back in the stripping game. He shows up. She notices that he is in the audience again, pops backstage halfway through the strip show, gets a sawn off from the stolen cache and blasts him through the heart.

This was done on a zero budget, looks like it was filmed in a couple of days. It isn't the greatest film by a long way, and the violence is over the top.

However there is a brilliant obscure eighties soundtrack.

I gave it extra points, because unbeknown to me, until I watched it today, it was filmed a few hundred yards from where I live in Reading.

A solid 7

Not a great film, but a wonderful snapshot of sixties England, outside of London for the most part. For Chris, a previous reviewer, the rugby pitch could well be Baths Recreation Ground.
