Plot:
A gang of rapists and murderers unknowingly seeks refuge with the parents of one of their victims.

Two teenage girls, Mari and Phylis, go to the "big city" to celebrate Mari's 17 birthday at a rock concert. Before the concert, they go on a careless hunt for some pot only to end up getting raped, humiliated, and eventually killed by four psychopaths. When the killers seek refuge at one of the girls' house by mistake, the parents find out just what happened to their little girl. Then they seek revenge. IMDB

Review:
Could have been much, much worse. But I actually like this movie. (Big surprise, huh??)

Most movies like this get very boring after awhile, but this one wasn't too bad. But still not a movie for everyone. A very racy movie for Wes Craven. It is very violent in a not-horror movie way.

Originally banned in: Australia, New Zealand, and the UK (for 30 years!!). Still banned in: Norway, Iceland, and probably Sweden, too.
