love it. it's one of the only exploitation films in my opinion that reaches this "otherworldly" stature.
the addition of the foolish cops, adding a light-heartedness to a terrible situation, the musical score is a perfect fit, much like MANBITESDOG it makes you somewhat like the perpetrators, you think hey this is funny, goofy, I kinda like these people, and then it hits you that what is happening is wrong, yet there's that part in all of us that just can't resist it, hey we're watching it with pre-knowledge of what it is aren't we? the revenge of the parents I thought was great, and for me that's when the movie really picks up. it's an exploitation film with emotion. I'll never forget after he rapes the main girl and there's a song which lines open with "and now you're all alone" and it shows her, as well as some shots of krug and him looking confused, and from my context I wonder who the song is about. I doubt everything I get out of this movie was intentionally used, but the way it was put together works for me.
