Not sure if this is the right movie


i need help. i feel like i loooved this flick back when i was a pre-teen in the early 80s. i am not sure if this is the right movie and i feel kind of bad that this is the only scene i remember. anyway, is there a scene in this flick where she loses her virginity to her boyfriend and she reaches under the covers and finds her hand covered in blood? please help because i have been totally tortured for a few years now!

reply

Yes, this is the movie. Except, her stepfather catches them having sex. He makes the boyfriend leave and then lectures his stepdaughter. She starts bleeding as he's lecturing her.

this is the scene that remains firmly planted in my memory also! i haven't seen it since i was probably 11 or so and I remember being seriously appalled but I did kind of like the movie overall! And please tell me this is the same movie but does the mother or daughter urinate in the basement in order to electrocute one of the protagonists? I know it sounds ridiculous but I am not making this it up....

reply

That sounds right - I remember them being locked in the basement and the daughter messing with the electrical wires, and I think I'm recalling correctly one of them squatting down there to relieve herself.

Whatever they did forced one of the baddies to come down to fix the circuit and getting fatally zapped.

This is memorable movie because of its warped sexual focus. It's not just a fun thriller, but a rather serious (and in some ways disturbing) drama about teenage girls "losing it" (except it's impossible to believe the two voluptuous actresses in this are teenagers or would have ANY trouble at all "losing it").

I attribute this to Michael Winner, a very talented British director in the 60's who made a lot of films afterwards that no one can really claim are good, but always have an interesting WTF?!? quality to them.

reply

Winner, whose movies I really do enjoy, loved young voluptuous actresses and i remember reading in the Death Wish book that he always had one on the set for personĂ¡l enjoyments... :-)). Maybe that is also part of why some of them never made any movies after their experience with Winner?! :-)

Me again. Am just watching it and had a loud laugh at 28:09 (on teh german VHS), when the doc comes out and tells the teens parents "i am sorry, but your daughter is dead". This is played in such a slobby WTF-mode, any other director would have shot this scene again. :-)) the doc even seems to have a smirky smile around his lips. He should also have chewed some gum, haha. Junk, but very amusing.
