Run Bitch Run is a marvelous celebration of exploitation and shock cinema. Granted, some will find it offensive and shocking, but I loved it !! It is a return to the exploitation films of the Seventies and Eighties yet it does so with a professionalism and style that is truly outstanding. It combines the rape revenge motif of such films as Ms.45 and I Spit on your Grave with all the excesses of exploitation cinema with a solid dash of “nunspolitation” thrown in for good measure.

The cinematography, score, acting and plot are way above what you would expect from exploitation cinema; it is visually arresting, has a kick-ass score and a plot to die for. Run Bitch Run is the brutally dark comic tale of two Catholic schoolgirls – Catherine and Rebecca. They have been sent by their girl’s school on a mission to sell Bibles door-to-door. Catherine is devout and takes her work seriously; Rebecca wants something more exciting; she has no idea what she is in for.

As they work their way town to town they decide to go to Moseley to continue their work. Moseley is a strange backward little town filled with obnoxious children hawking oranges and old woman who use shotguns to get missionaries off their property. They struggle on trying to sell their Bibles with little success, even succeeding in getting their money stolen. Soon they come across the wrong house at the wrong time.

As the tale of innocent young catholic schoolgirls selling Bibles, getting naked and trying to look demure with flashes of suppressed desire unfolds, we cut to scenes of the criminal clan of Lobo. Lobo runs a drugs and sex operation and when things go wrong is happy to use maximum violence to solve the problem. His team includes Carla, a wild bi-sexual “companion”, who'll kill any John who dares call her a whore and poor stuttering Clint, who likes to watch nunsploitation porn while screwing as many of the girls as he can. As the story of Lobo’s clan unfolds we are treated to loads of sex, nudity and fun and games – who would think you could use a “plumbers friend” that way ?

These two worlds collide as the girls knock on door of Lobo’s den trying to sell their religious wares. At the same time Lobo shoots one of his whores for stealing some smack and her head explodes over the window. At first Clint thinks this is one of his nun movies, here are two young catholic schoolgirls at the door. Soon he realizes they are all too real and have witnessed Lobo dispatching one of his girls. Catherine and Rebecca are dragged inside and the games begin. Rebecca is forced to indulge in a little pussy licking, since Carla is rather horny and then to play Russian roulette. Sadly she loses and her body is sold along with the girl’s car to a local who can use her fresh flesh for some necrophilic good times.

Catherine is taken to the wilds outside town to play “Run Bitch Run”. She must somehow escape Lobo and Clint who are hunting her down for a rape and kill game. Lobo catches her and has his fun, but when Clint finds her, he has also his way but since she falls down an embankment presumes she is dead and leaves without cutting her throat. A bad move for lobo’s crew !

She comes to the next day, naked, very sore and lost in the woods. She wanders lost to the sounds of soft of soft porn lounge music and wakes up in a local hospital primed and ready for revenge. The schoolgirl innocent has now become an avenging angel. Look out – the blood and guts will now begin to flow and you will be shocked how far she will go to get her revenge.

Run Bitch Run has taken exploitation cinema and made it an art form. What more could one ask for ? Gore, guns, drugs, sex, rape, inferred necrophilia, forced pussy licking, lesbianism, Catholic schoolgirls, rape and revenge, anal rape with a machete and lots more. This is a film which will shock and dismay the more reserved among us and thrill the rest !
