an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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

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.

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.

"Her Venegeance" is easily one of the darkest HK films I have seen.The film is as great as I expected. Very dark and merciless and surprisingly anti-violent in its theme after all which is of course great thing and makes the film much more noteworthy piece of work. The violence is raw and the inhuman rape scene is shot in dark cemetery with incredibly dark blue lightning so the scene is as strong and intense as they come. Also veteran actor the late great Lam Ching Ying does a great role as a wheelchair bound uncle who first tries to make the protagonist forget her thoughts about revenge but after all starts to prefer revenge himself, too, and after that, the hell is on the loose and the final bloodbath is very insane again. Among the greatest HK dark thrillers of all time.So if you are a fan of extreme Asian cinema give this gem a look.9 out of 10.
