Thriller- A Cruel Picture

Posted by:

When I went to the 30th Anniversary of TCM they had a panel for upcoming horror films to be released by Anchor Bay and Synapse films. So I dropped in and I found a gem that I wish I would have found sooner. The movie I speak of is Thriller or They Call Her One Eye. Whatever you have come to call the movie this is a must have for gore hounds. At the panel the guy from Synapse told us the use an actual corpse to use for a very disturbing scene in the movie. Here is the official word from synapse on the film.

THIS IS IT! Bo Arne Vibeniusâ€™ classic cult actioner is finally available on DVD! UNCUT AND UNCENSORED! Growing up mute after a childhood sexual assault, a young girl (played by beautiful cult starlet Christina Lindberg) spends years working on a remote farm. After missing the bus one day, she is picked up by a suave young man who takes her out to dinner, drugs her and forces her into a life of drug addiction and prostitution.

Torn away from home, she rebels against her captor only to have one of her eyes gouged out as punishment (in a scene rumored to have been filmed with an actual corpse). After learning of the death of her parents and fed up with the cards life has dealt, she trains herself in the fine arts of fighting, killing and revenge. Transformed into a one-woman killing machine (and armed with a sawed-off shotgun), she uses her new skills to enact bloody revenge on those who have done her wrong.

Synapse Films has painstakingly restored THRILLER â€“ A CRUEL PICTURE from original vault materials to bring you the totally uncensored version of the ultimate revenge-exploitation movie! Originally released in the U.S. in a heavily truncated form as THEY CALL HER ONE EYE, THRILLER is presented here with all the graphic sex, violence and action intact. Over 20 minutes of additional footage has been restored!

This is the film that Quentin Tarantino (Director, KILL BILL VOL. 1 & 2, PULP FICTION, RESERVOIR DOGS) called "the roughest revenge movie ever made!"â€¦ THRILLER â€“ A CRUEL PICTURE is finally making its U.S. DVD debut in this Uncensored Limited Edition.

The film will be released on Sept. 28.
