Review of Thriller: A Cruel Picture (1973) by Matt A — 05 Jul 2013

BANNED IN SWEDEN!!Thriller:A Cruel Picture was the beginning of the let the punishment fit the crime grindhouse explotation films of the 1970s.Swedish actress and model Christina Lindberg (a new favorite of mine)plays a girl forced into a world of prostitution and drugs,then taking revenge on all of those responsible and wronged her.

Scenes of hardcore pornography and violence caused this film to be banned in it's own country.A rumor that holds over the film,that the scene where her eye is cut out,was an actual cadaver,not fake,has never been proven otherwise.

The film that Quinton Tarintino called "The roughest revenge film ever made" Christina Lindberg was given the largest insurance policy to an actress at that time,since all the guns and ammunition used were real.

I don't believe in the term "guilty pleasure" this is a film I'm glad to say has become a favorite.Nasty,impressive,and knows no limit to what it can do.Looking for a Swedish import with all the goods?Give it a watch.

.but..PREPARE YOURSELF!Not for the faint of heart!
