Director : Jen & Sylvia Soska
Running Time : 103 mins
Promising medical student Mary Mason (Isabelle) finds opportunity knocking at her door when she unwittingly helps out a shady strip club owner with an emergency surgery on one of his employees. She is soon inundated with people wanting elective surgery, and she jumps at the chance of getting in some practice and making some much needed extra cash, but when she is drugged and raped by her college professor Dr Grant (Lovgren) she turns her attention to exacting revenge using the skills she has acquired.
I was surprised at how enjoyable this rape-revenge movie was, having expected it to be nothing more than a run-of-the-mill horror. Katherine Isabelle – best known for her title role in Ginger Snaps – is brilliant in this, and manages to convey her disdain for those she operates on while still showing that her character loves the money and attention. The supporting cast of misfits are both likeable and bizarre, but the ending leaves a little to be desired, even though the twist in the tale does come as something of a surprise.
