After escaping from the wreckage of a
crashed prison transport bus, three violent convicts embark on a rampage of
crime. After a attack on a liquor store, they take a
women hostage and force her to lead them to her home. Here they capture the
whole family and the nastiness really begins. While making themselves at home they brutalize
the family in every possible way, combining violence with racial taunts,
psychological abuse and all manner of degradation.
Loaded with violence this is a real shocker. The major offense is the very
severe racial abuse throughout the whole film; this will surely offend most who
watch it. The racial slurs are so extreme that at times you nearly laugh,
because you cannot believe anyone would be so utterly vile and vicious. The
script seems intent on shocking the audience with constant racial abuse and
racial degradation. In the end it is so extreme that it is counter productive,
rather than being an effective crime story it becomes more of black comedy in
the worst possible taste.
Certainly this is exploitation classic,
but not my idea of a good time, the 86 minutes passed very slowly and I found
it hard to watch. It is certainly a relic of its time and in that sense will be
of interest to lovers of exploitation films.
It is offered uncut and uncensored for
