A young woman (Christina Lindberg), muted after a sexual assault as a child, is trained to seek violent revenge on those who have wronged her after being kidnapped and forced to work as a prostitute.
In Daniel Ekeroth's book on Swedish exploitation movies, it is revealed that the producers took out a huge life insurance policy on star Christina Lindberg, as real ammunition was used in the action sequences, and that she was asked to inject saline solution during the drug scenes. A real corpse was also used for an eye-gouging scene, which continues to offend people. This is, without doubt, among the darkest, grittiest exploitation films ever made. It is easy to see how this was such a strong inspiration on Tarantino's "Kill Bill".
If there is one thing I would change, however, it would be the removal of the pornographic scenes. They add nothing to the film, and because they were spliced in after the fact, really do not represent a true part of the original film.
