Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

trashgang This is one of those rape/revenge flicks that comes from the East side of the world and still hasn't or a proper release on DVD. If you can catch a copy on VHS then , just like me, you will be annoyed by the subtitles. The translation is so badly done that most of the phrases are hard to understand. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this flick because it has a few cheesy moments. But before you go hunting for Her Vengeance be sure that you will get the full uncut version. I have seen the cut version, easier to get and the revenge and nudity is cut out.It takes a while before the revenge comes in and you have to sit through silly conversations and the search for the victims to be slaughtered by the victim. The rape itself is shown on the full uncut version and it's not that brutal, yes, it's a rape but there's almost nothing shown. The brutality lays in the fact how it was shot. Close up from the men raping our victim. The reason for raping was just the fact that she asked the men to behave while they were visiting a bar she's working in. After the rape she goes to visit her uncle in Hong Kong and it's there she comes across the ones who deserve to die. The revenge isn't that gory after all for a flick made at the end of the eighties. But what is worth seeing is her uncle sitting in a wheelchair. the cheesy part comes in when he is defending himself. And towards the end when he is training his abilities on a roof the believability of this flick moves away. But don't stop watching because he uses his skills at the final and that is worth seeing. Here it do becomes bloody and messy. The final, over 7 minutes was left out of the cut version so be aware! Readers have seen the word nudity well that also is only to see in the uncut version and I was surprised that it involved full frontal without the blurry vagina era typical for eastern flick. One of the victim drags in drugged women to perform a lesbian sex act but it soon turns into a trio. Don't get me wrong, it isn't erotic because it's being filmed to be sold as porn. By now you now what to expect from Her Vengeance. A not so bloody flick, but towards the end the cheesy part comes in. Not a horror at all, more some kind of an exploitation.Gore 1/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

joeshoe89 I don't have a clue what the guy who wrote the long review saw but I'm not going to say it's not worth your time. My whole problem with the film mainly is much like the scene in Raiders where a guy with a big sword whirls it at Indy and he then just promptly shoots him! Now in this movie everyone does EVERYTHING but simply buy a huge gun and bullets. Even the guy in the wheelchair whines about killing but he could simply use a John Woo automatic and call a quick halt to these grinning thugs. In fact the woman might have done this even faster but all the elaborate acid, wires and traps well it makes for good bad movie fun but one in the forehead is faster and simpler.

dbborroughs Woman working at a club in Macao doing PR runs afoul of five guys from Hong Kong who follow her home and rape her. She follows them to Hong Kong and through circumstance gets into a position to take her revenge.Its more complicated then that but you really don't need to know more than that. this has been called by some as a revision of "I Spit on Your Grave", I call it duller then dirt.as the events transpire in a lackluster way. It takes so long to get going that you really don't care. I didn't. It didn't help that the woman in question was pretty much a one note cypher.(Okay Camille Keaton in I Spit was a worse actress but you at least felt something).It maybe her vengeance , but its your time and that could be spent in better ways.

fertilecelluloid Ngai Kai Lam has directed some extremely unique HK films such as "Erotic Ghost Story" and "The Story of Ricky". He handles his material with unbridled glee, smarts and enthusiasm, and isn't afraid to push all envelopes. "Her Vengeance" takes a clichéd premise and turns it on its head. A woman who works at a night club (Pauline Wong) is raped in a cemetery by a gang of repulsive thugs. To add insult to her injuries, she also receives a nasty dose of the clap. As expected, she exacts a bloody revenge on them and is assisted in her mission by a wheelchair- bound uncle (Lam Ching Ying) who annihilates the rapists with a toolbox of deadly devices. Atmospheric and tightly directed, the film is a textbook example of how to make a love budget film effectively. Wong is great as the victimized woman and the always reliable Shing Fui-on plays a truly pernicious nasty. Handsomely photographed and scored for creepiness, the film is another winner from a fine, underrated director.
