A pretty cool revenge flick. At first, I feared this would end up a US take on the Giallo, but Ferrara makes it more Day of the Woman set in a bustling metropolis (and without the outright exploitation elements). It makes for a pretty stylish film, but also one that lacks just a little bit to truly set itself apart.
Thana is a young, mute seamstress. After a random guy on the street takes advantage of her and a robber breaks into her house, he snaps. She kills the robber and keeps his gun, using it to seek out lecherous men and end their lives. She gets a taste for killing though, becoming less choosy with every new kill.
Lünd is great in the lead, Ferrera gives the film the necessary flair and the short runtime keeps it from getting stale and/or boring. I wasn't a big fan of the soundtrack and the setup of the film is pretty basic, but nothing that kept me from enjoying it while it lasted. A very interesting discovery.
