Review of Switchblade Sisters (1975) by Tim S — 17 Jun 2013

It's true that Switchblade Sisters is one of the better exploitation movies from the era, but I don't agree that it's all good fun. There are things in this movie that made me cringe, such as the lead actress.

It's like they hired the most annoying little girl they could find for the part. The rest of the cast is more of the same. I'm not sure why I took such a dislike to the film, but it's probably to do with that.

The dialogue is often grating as well. The film picks up in the second half when things really heat up, and the film ends very well. I liked the movie overall despite my dislike for things about it, I suppose, but not enough to warrant recommending it to anybody.

I'm sure that exploitation fans will probably get more out of it than I did.
