Movie Reviews of Thriller - A Cruel Picture
Movie Review: The revenge flick to rape all revenge flicks
Summary: 5 Stars
Whoo-boy! This is one pounding violation of the cinematic routine. Director Vibenius tries to penetrate deep into your mind by mixing the arthouse with the pornhouse. Check the EPT stick...yep, after wineing & dining your senses, he impregnates all your expectations and leaves you with dirty diapers on the brain.
It even starts off in harsh fashion. After getting raped as a little girl, the beautiful Madeleine stumbles through her life in total silence and disarray. After reaching adulthood, she is victimized by another devastating, life-altering event. A seemingly nice guy offers some help, then secretly dopes her up and turns her into a heroin-addict/prostitue. Sex, drugs, no rock-n-roll...ahh not such good times.
Thriller:A Cruel Picture is a dizzing strain of unfathomable events. The director studied under the brilliant Ingmar Bergman, and his artistic influence is evident throughout. This is contrasted by graphic images of sex and abuse. It's mind-boggling, gives an extreme sense of such sad desperation and erotic disorientation. Many people will dislike this bizarre experience, but hey, imagine how this chick feels.
Not to worry though, of course she seeks her revenge. This is a brutal cult gem of exploitation cinema. A must-see for fans of disturbing movies. A must-avoid for almost everyone else.
Movie Review: Good representative of 70s European movie industry
Summary: 5 Stars
I dont know which one of the 1000 things shall i write to the ones who are disturbed by the hardcore and blood scenes!
1- Buy the "venegeance" version. Or better, dont buy this movie.
2- Cinema is an art form, accept it in its completeness. Modern people are so much used to getting their demands done in a second, some are really spoiled. A movie isnt a bigMac; you dont have the priviledge of asking the director to take the onion out of it. Eat it as it is or dont buy it.
3- The very same people are infact responsible of censore. Again, if your stomach cant take it, dont eat it.
4- Thriller is a very good representative of 1970 European movie industry in many aspects. Read about movie history first and learn why directors had to include such scenes. Thriller was made in 1974, so it was shaped by that days' environment, so think according to that. You cant ask the studio to take out the scenes nor do it yourself at home just because it doesnt suit todays culture or rather just because it doesnt suit your personal taste.
5- You sound like a retard who doesnt like a color in a picasso painting and painting it over. Editing a scene in a movie -after its completion by its director- is nothing different than painting over a picasso.
6- Learn to accept any kind of art "as it is". Its a form of respecting others thoughts
Movie Review: Forget "They Call Her One Eye", get the REAL DEAL
Summary: 5 Stars
Synapse did a fantastic job in finally releasing "Thriller." If you are a collector of rare DVD's and if you wanna see one of the best, most uncomfortable-to-watch films ever made, then get this movie. This movie is extremely raw, real, and straight-to-the-point; it pulls no punches whatsoever. Hollywood would never make a movie like this in a million years because they don't have the balls. If you are a severely depressive mental patient, I would not recommend watching this film. Also, if you are offended by hardcore pornography, don't watch this film. The porn in this movie is not meant to "turn you on" and is not arousing in nature; it is simply an ingredient to show you the horrors and degredation that the main character (played by the gorgeous Christina Lindberg) went through. Anyone who sees this movie will not be able to forget it for quite some time. The DVD itself is loaded with some nice extras. There are a boatload of trailers for the film, a huge section of behind-the-scenes photos, and some deleted scenes. Once again, hats off to Synapse for releasing one of the greatest revenge flicks of all time. If you want it, you'd better order it because there were only 25,000 DVD copies released in the U.S.Movie Review: BANG! BANG! MY BABY SHOT ME DOWN...
Summary: 5 Stars
As revenge films go, THRILLER: A CRUEL PICTURE is at the top of my list. Christina Lindberg blazes in her mute, savage role! Though I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE tries, there is no real comparison. T:ACP pretty much started it all, w/ it's hideous villains, tough-as-rusty-nails heroine, and ultimate showdown, this is the one to watch! If you are a KILL BILL fan, you'll love every precious second! The firearms, martial arts, and evasive automobile training are glorious! The slow-motion "cop takedown" sequence is sheer, bloody ballet! As for the "hard core sex scenes", I found them quite tedious after the first, though they do hammer home the degree of perfunctory degradation involved. If you're just looking for "porn", look elsewhere, as these scenes are meant more to show animalistic emptiness than to incite any lust. If such material sickens you, then I recommend watching the edited THEY CALL HER ONE EYE version. Fantastic stuff either way...Movie Review: Was expecting a let down.....was blown away by how great this is!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely amazing!!! After hearing about this film for years, I was pretty sure that there was no way it could live up to my expectations. Man was I wrong! This film is amazing!! Plain and simple, one of the best revenge flicks I have ever seen. Christina Lindberg is one of the most alluring and beautiful women in cinema. Pictures, even the ones on the cover don't properly convey how beautiful this girl is. Her stunning beauty, coupled with her latent sexuality makes her one of the most bewitching figures I have ever encountered. Some people would be put off by the hardcore sex in this version, but I think its great ;) The sex, the violence, and the action all mix together to make one of the best "grindhouse" movies of all time.
