Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles; Limited Edition Beautiful soft-core cult princess Christina Lindberg plays a young woman who lost her innocence at a tragically early age in a brutal sexual assault that left her mute for life. She grows up working on a remote farm, but when she misses her bus one day, she is picked up by an appealingly dapper man who drugs her and forces her into a life of prostitution, addiction, and subjugation. When she rebels, her pimp retaliates by gouging out her eye; her last straw is her parents' death, inciting her to seek vengeance. Training as a martial artist and accustoming herself to firearms, she becomes a singleminded killing machine as she extracts revenge from all those who have mistreated her for so long.
THRILLER - A CRUEL PICTURE is a cult gem of exploitation cinema, released here entirely intact for the first time in America, with over 20 minutes of restored footage; the graphic sex and violence is offset by the look and pace of an arthouse film, making apparent the fact that director Arne Vibenius studied under Ingmar Bergman. Lindberg's character is the acknowledged inspiration of Quentin Tarantino's, who calls it "the roughest revenge movie ever made!"

Thriller - A Cruel Picture Video Thriller - A Cruel Picture Movie Review Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Expectation a little too much
The hype over this somewhat cult movie was all over the place when Tarantino mentioned it. It's not that bad, the hardcore sex is just plain stupid. If anything the film lacks graphic violence, except for one great eye slicing scene. There's a lot better revenge films out there folks, like Kill Bill. doh!!!!

 One of the best
This is one of the best revenge movies I've seen in a long time(besides KIll Bill. Which I heard Daryl Hannah's based on this character by Christina Lindberg.). The story line was great. The dialog need a little more work. And the camrea angles in the fight scenes where good. This hits the books for one of my favorite movies.

THAT IS NOT SO COOL.
Overrated today,and with reason left to fade in memories of the past,until Tarantino made refrences to this average movie.
Collects some points to daring to go further than most of the movies at the time,but Christina Lindberg is not an action fame.Her action sequences were slowed down so much (HOW SLOW THEY WERE???), that I played it with 5x regular speed,read the whole synopsis on the back cover and she only moved few inches (talking about extended version) Other actors are just as much in the need of some acting clasess, while the whole movie has this repellent 70's vibe. Recommended to curious people only.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  A cruel picture
Rough 70s exploitaion revenge film with hardcore sex scenes. Some say that they're unneccesary, but I think they're very important in portraying the intensity of the situation. I've had a hardon for Christina Linberg ever since I first saw this. Especially in the "eyebal scene". Just kidding. Also, check out "Sex and Fury" it won't dissapoint.

All you Kill Bill nerds shut up!!!!
This movie blows the over-hyped Kill Bill movies away. Tarantino wishes he could make a revenge picture as powerful as this. Kill Bill will be forgoten in 5 years and this one still holds up 30 years after it's original release. That's why this is a revenge classic and Kill Bill is a trendy joke.
