Description:
This is the film that Quentin Tarantino (Director, KILL BILL VOL. 1 & 2, PULP FICTION, RESERVOIR DOGS) called "the roughest revenge movie ever made!"… THRILLER – A CRUEL PICTURE is finally making its U.S. DVD debut in this Uncensored Limited Edition. With only 25,000 units in the total DVD production run, this cult gem will soon be gone forever! Order now so you don’t miss out on THE exploitation DVD release of the year!

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 – 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!

Rating : - The revenge flick to rape all revenge flicks
Whoo-boy! This is one pounding violation of the cinematic routine. Director Vibenius tries to penetrate deep into your mind by mixing the arthouse with the pornhouse. Check the EPT stick...yep, after wineing & dining your senses, he impregnates all your expectations and leaves you with dirty diapers on the brain.

It even starts off in harsh fashion. After getting raped as a little girl, the beautiful Madeleine stumbles through her life in total silence and disarray. After reaching adulthood, she is victimized by another devastating, life-altering event. A seemingly nice guy offers some help, then secretly dopes her up and turns her into a heroin-addict/prostitue. Sex, drugs, no rock-n-roll...ahh not such good times.

Thriller:A Cruel Picture is a dizzing strain of unfathomable events. The director studied under the brilliant Ingmar Bergman, and his artistic influence is evident throughout. This is contrasted by graphic images of sex and abuse. It's mind-boggling, gives an extreme sense of such sad desperation and erotic disorientation. Many people will dislike this bizarre experience, but hey, imagine how this chick feels.

Not to worry though, of course she seeks her revenge. This is a brutal cult gem of exploitation cinema. A must-see for fans of disturbing movies. A must-avoid for almost everyone else.
