Naked Vengeance

Naked Vengeance

What a terrible portrayal of a revenge movie. Idiot sheriff (bad actor) and the whole townspeople chasing the rape victim down the street. I thought I was watching a Frankenstein movie. Horrible movie

This might have been a better revenge movie if not for a few things. The script for one; all the men in this are brutes, the cops are morons. Carla is the only interesting character. The plot holes are amazing. The entire town of pinheads backs the five morons who raped her and killed her parents, just because she moved away? Watch I Spit and watch this. Exactly the same setup, the lone difference being the mental deficient kid, in this case Timmy the gardener, grows a conscience after his pals rape the hell out of the woman. He gets murdered for his problems. Then the brilliant town cops decide Timmy raped Carla, murdered her parents with a shotgun filled with double ought, but her father, with a hole in him the size of a fist, grabbed the gun away and shot Timmy in the back. Really? I wonder what these guys were smoking while they were watching I Spit on Your Grave and decided to rip...er pay it a homage. Its a stupidly entertaining movie, but it is stupid.

"Naked Vengeance" while an entertaining flick, is really just an artless and brainless ripoff of the MUCH superior "I Spit On Your Grave," a groundbreaking film that managed to be aesthetically beautiful in all it's ugliness. This retread, with it's tacky 80s soundtrack and filming style is basically throwaway entertainment. It's filled with impossibly dumb characters and an even dumber police force, making the events that unfold seem ridiculous. Now if this movie was the first of it's kind then it might be something special, but by 1985, audiences had seen this exact scenario played out many times before, in more competent films. I did give it an extra star for the ending that culminates on New York City's famed 42nd Street. That was a nice touch. Unfortunately "Naked Vengeance" is average at best..

This film has a similar theme and takes one back to the story in the movie ' I spit on your grave (1978)'. As such this was a 'copy' and one knew exactly what was going to happen. The acting was poor and the film looked and felt crude, even cheap. It never created tension, concern or suspense. Had I never seen 'I spit on your grave', I would, perhaps, have enjoyed it more. A number of reviewers mentioned that the rape scene was very realistic. I can't concur as I have no experience. In my view it looked absurd and staged. The revenge took a similar route as the police were useless. I prefer the original story of 1978, as such theme had never been seen before and took the world by surprise. This film was really suspenseful and was banned in a number of countries originally. The remake in 2010 was also successful.

Wow! Is that opening song bad, and the worst part is it reappears during the movie. What is not so bad is "Naked Vengeance", which delivers a well acted revenge plot, stereotypical males on parade, and a very sympathetic heroine. Comparable films would include "Ms.45", and of course, "I Spit on Your Grave". Although the box art conveys a "Death Wish" comparison, there is less similarity to the random killing revenge flicks like "Death Wish". "Naked Vengeance" lacks the gratuitous, random violence of "Death Wish", while concentrating on the revenge plot. This is one of the better rape - revenge films out there, and recommended of it's type. - MERK

I really liked the song " still got a love " I looked it up and the lead actress sings the song. Pretty awesome.

This was a very fun film to do, and I agree, this is one of Cirio's better films. We shot the film in parts of Baguio City, and at Lake Kaliraya in Laguna Province. We filmed this right after we had finished "The Devestators", which was also another fun one to do.

Carla Harris really is having the worst couple of days of her life. It's her anniversary and she and her husband go out for a meal that ends in her husbands death by shooting. To help get over the death of Mr Harris she goes to stay with her parents. Unfortunately her parents live in a town where every man is destined to turn into a horny dog upon seeing women called Carla Harris. One quite brutal gang rape and a parent slaying later Carla Harris is out for revenge. I enjoyed this film. The acting's not brilliant and maybe it borrows a little too much from 'I spit on your grave' including that movies most famous scene. This film tells a similar story to that movie but it's a little more classy in it's execution. I felt myself get drawn into the movie willing Widow Harris to exact her revenge. The only downside for me was the overuse of the horrible theme song. If you like revenge movies this is definitely worthy of your attention as it's one of the better ones.

Naked Vengeance has basically the same story as the slow moving "I Spit On Your Grave" which mas made a few years earlier. But this is much better than the original and offers much more than you would expect from a low budget exploitation film. Slick and effective direction by the ever resourceful Santiago, a fast pace, and a remarkable acting job by Dallas star Deborah Tranelli (who also sings the title song!) make this a movie experience you won't soon forget. The movie is hard to find. Let's just hope it's gonna be out on DVD some day. It would definitely deserve it.
