Thriller: They Call Her One Eye

I had heard so many great things about Thriller. How gruesome it is, and brutaly violent. I believe it was Tarantino who once said it was th roughest revenge movie ever made. Now, when I watched this movie I kept this things in mind, a very open mind. Some may see these things as false, because the writing is very poor, with next to no dialogue most of which doesn't make sense. i.e. "Hey... I bet you don't have one good reason why you shouldn't take a ride in my car." And the girl agrees!!! The action is also very minimal, bu take into consideration that it is a low budget film.Now, on the other hand, this movies entire premise is EXTREMELY dark and violent, even for now adays standards. So yes it is very brutal in context.The bottom line: This movie isn't for every one. If your looking for something gruesome, or action packed then this is not your movie. However if you a Grindhouse officionado, have an open mind, or just love an interesting concept that takes some though to realy appreciate, grab Thriller. "They saw her one eye, turned, and ran."

Like many folks I bought this because I'd read that Quentin Tarantino was a big advocate of this film.Now I love Switchblade Sisters another Quentin fave but thought that Rolling Thunder was overrated.Luckily I'd say that Thriller is more akin to Sisters than Thunder.I won't go crazy writing about the details of this film as it's pretty cut and dry.It's a female gets revenge on those who abused her mostly males film.I agree with those that say it's not as over the top violent or sadistic as I Spit On Your Grave the nadir of these type films.It does have it's good points one being the lovely Christina Lindberg as the avenging one eyed hooker turned assassin.I've seen her work before most notable as Anita the misunderstood nympho in the film of the same name.She does great as far as conveying the characters feelings without ever uttering a word.Some don't like the slow motion kill scenes but I found them to look great.The effects of the gunshot wounds looked awesome way more believable than the CGI crapolla out there today.You can see where Quentin got the idea for Hannah's eye patch in the Kill Bill films as well as where he came up with the vivid kill scenes when the Bride wipes out the Crazy 88's.I hear that there are 2 cuts of the film available one with hardcore porn and one edited out.Reminds me of the films of Joe D'Amato who often added sex just for the hell of it to his films.I got the yellow Vengeance version sans porn so I can't comment on the quality of that material.In closing if films like Last House on the Left,MS.45,I Spit on Your Grave and others intrest you then I recommend this it's flawed but quite watchable.

This is a great movie highlighting all that Scandinavia has to offer in the guns, girls, and gore department. Unfortunately this version of the movie is edited to exclude the hardcore scenes of the star and her clients. This does not detract from the viewing experience. The over the top plot dialog and action make Thriller a great movie worthy of Tarantino's praise (check Rolling Stone December 2006 for his exact words). THIS IS WORTH A WATCH BUT IT IS EDITED TO EXCLUDE HARDCORE SCENES YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT.

They call her one eye has an edited eye puncture scene, and all the hardcore sex footage (done by stand ins) have been edited and or removed completely!The cruel picture version is entirely uncut and the one of the two worth checking out. Eitherway, though this film was ahead of its time and paved the way for many of the revenge films that followed I thought it was worth watching but not owning and give the unedited version three stars. They call her one eye I give 2 1/2 stars

True 70's pulp/grindhouse carnage and sex/nudity. Plot has more holes than swiss cheese, which is a hallmark of this genre.

On time and just as described.

Cult classic??? I think not! This was by far one of the worse movies I've ever seen. This movie is WAY over-rated. Terrible acting, even for a 70's movie, with very stupid and annoying music. It jumped all over the place in a nonsensical manner. It had a fairly decent plot and could have been done so much better. Don't waste your money on this one. Anyone looking to purchase out of curiosity, go to eBAY and buy mine. I'm listing it for a buck. I've had it 1 day and it's going on the block. Definitely not something I'll every watch again.

I saw this movie a long time ago. The quality was awesome.

It's said this version is unrated but it's cut by 3 mins the red cover called A cruel picture is fully uncut

Great flick

ok

Alles gut funktioniert. Gerne wieder

Wegen seiner Handlung wäre "They call her one eye" mit Sicherheit auch mit etwas mehr Tempo kein Partyfilm geworden, aber die Chance einen schnellen, harten Rachethriller zu drehen wurde eindeutig verschenkt. Ein Mädchen wird zur Prostitution gezwungen, unter Drogen gesetzt, entstellt und will sich später an seinen Peinigern rächen. So weit, so gut. Leider krankt der Film daran, dass es bis zum Rachefeldzug ewig dauert. So lernt man die Leute, welche das Mädchen so schrecklich behandeln, zwar immer mehr hassen, aber ich persönlich bin nicht daran interessiert ihren (zugegebenermaßen harmlos dargestellten) Leidensweg bis ins kleinste Detail zu verfolgen. Ich hatte mich auf etwas Action gefreut und als diese endlich beginnt, wird sie durch unzählige, lange Zeitlupen vollkommen ausgebremst. Wir sehen dabei zu, wie die Schauspieler mehrere Sekunden in die Kamera glotzen, bevor der Beutel mit dem Kunstblut unter ihrem Oberteil explodiert und sie zu albernen Soundeffekten wegkippen.Die Schauspieler sind nicht besonders gut, aber damit hätte ich leben können. Ich mag trashige Filme, solange sie unterhalten. "They call her one eye" ist nur leider so extrem lahm geraten, dass ich mich gegen Ende stark zurückhalten musste nicht vorzuspulen.Auch wenn ich kein großer Fan von Remakes bin, dieser Film hätte eine zweite Chance verdient. Mit mehr Geld, ordentlich Krawall und dem gleich 70er Jahre Charme hätte er ein echter Kracher werden können.
