Good start, but then it gets ruined

Absolutely the worst movie.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

In the vein of those aggressively seedy, but stock-like revenge thrillers; "Naked Vengeance" is a considerably cut-rate, but amusingly rowdy and efficiently catered b-grade imitation of "I Spit on Your Grave". Carla's life is shattered when she witnesses her husband murdered, so she retreats back to the town she grew up in and stays with her parents at their lakeside cottage. But the nightmare continues for her when some drunken locals break into her home. There they would terrorise her, until her parents walked in on them to only be killed. Abused and left for dead, the law just won't cut it. Revenge… cold-hearted revenge is what she seeks. Her own justice with pain driving it. The men that caused the act, leaving this women's descent into madness (or that's what we are to believe); simply are portrayed as perverts, drooling low-lives and thugs. Even the clueless, narrow minded local Sheriff isn't painted that fancily.While unimaginatively clichéd, it packs fury (some intensity makes its way into some set-pieces) and instinctively lays out many horrid encounters as she toys around with her initial victims knocking them off one at a time. Jack-cheap exploitation film-maker Cirio H. Santiago provides serviceable direction, as it doesn't waste much time and never does it outstay its welcome. The writing / dialogues might seem rough, but it's simple and formidably to-the-point. Deborah Tranelli (of "Dallas" fame) provides a grippingly strong performance as the traumatised Carla.

Naked Vengeance was a great surprise for me. I recently heard about it and then a couple days later I was able to watch it. So obviously I jumped at the chance to see an under-rated rape/revenge flick. And I am really glad I did. This is easily one of my favorites of the rape/revenge genre.The version I watched is most likely the R-rated version. That's a shame since there is a Unrated Version out there. I would have loved to seen the film in a more graphic nature, but hell, this movie is good enough. I know some people will wait on the Unrated, and I'm telling you don't. It's entirely worth watching if you have the chance to see the R version.Anne's life seems too good to be true. She has a successful marriage, a husband with a great job, which has given her the ability to retire at a young age. Anne and Hubby decide to head out to celebrate their 5th Anniversary and all goes well until they witness a woman getting beat. Hubby being a good man runs to stop the Mugger but is bested and unfortunately murdered, all in front of poor Anne. Anne thinks it's best to get away from the city and get back to her roots in Silver Lake and visit her parents. Unfortunately for her Silver Lake is littered with drunk pervs. While in Silver Lake Anne's foundation is rocked to the core and what better to than to take revenge. It's time for Naked Vengeance! Like I said above this movie was a great surprise. It was entertaining all the way through. What really moved it along for me was the supporting cast of the drunk, perverted, townspeople. Burke, Fletch and Sparky were all cast perfectly. The movie was directed well, the actors were all good, the violence was there, it had me laughing, and it had a great rock ballad song that played a good amount. It was actually sung by our lead who plays Anne, Deborah Tranelli. So all in all, Naked Vengeance was a really good flick that entertains on many levels. If you happen to come by it, definitely give it a shot. 8.5 outta 10

The plot is great as well as the presentation of it. I could not believe the rape scene to be anything but REAL. The movie as a whole is really worth viewing and is really enjoyable with all the suspense and tension in it. I think it is a classic, and you will never forget it. Actually, I viewed it for the first time in the cinema, and I find myself looking for it on the internet 15 yrs later. I could not find it yet, but i will continue my digging. In the mean time, I encourage anyone who have a copy to make it available for others as I hate to see such a great movie be forgotten. Deborah Tarnelli was really great on this film and I think this movie had contributed a lot to her later success.

This was a very fun film to do, and I agree, this is one of Cirio's better films. We shot the film in parts of Baguio City, and at Lake Kaliraya in Laguna Province. We filmed this right after we had finished "The Devestators", which was also another fun one to do.
