Tarantino completists and fans of Abel Ferrara's Ms .45 might salvage something. Go to Full Review

Miss Lindberg, who is easy to look at, is constantly doleful since most of what occurs in One Eye is dreary. Go to Full Review

5/5
An exploitation classic, given the best presentation it’s ever had, from the gorgeous packaging to the exceptional, given the source, image. An insightful commentary and an exhaustive slate of extras only make this release more essential for fans. Go to Full Review

When Sweden's Thriller: A Cruel Picture hit the U.S., some sequences were edited out and the film was released as They Call Her One Eye. Either version is mostly rubbish. Go to Full Review

A raw story about the abuse of the women in the 1970 society. A Cult movie, referencial for nowadays movies. A must. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Greg G. @13Gunn13 Oct 19 What this movies portraying can be something real. trafficking is real. The girl getting her revenge is the fiction See more Lloyd S Aug 13 Good movie. Liked it from start to end with no censorship at all, exactly how I like my movies. Totally recommended. See more Wayne K Jul 11 Few films have as literal a title or as sordid a backstory as this one. The filmmakers bragged about how it was the first film banned in Sweden, despite that dubious distinction belonging to a film made all the way back in 1912, but it was unsurprisingly censored and banned in other territories. It’s a film replete with intravenous drug use, bloody violence and unsimulated sex scenes, courtesy of a pair of porn stars called ‘Romeo & Juliet.’ It was made purely for profit, but it manages to rise above the typical bottom of the barrel slop you’d expect of exploitation films of this nature. The influence it had on movies like Kill Bill & Ms. 45 are obvious, the latter especially, and despite the lead having no dialogue we learn a lot about her from her body language, her determination and the way she interacts with others. There’s a lot of ridiculousness sprinkled thought, namely the abusive overuse of slow motion, which was done purely to make sure the film was long enough, the fact that cars explode for no reason like in an 80s American action film, and that our heroine’s revenge scheme is only possible because of how staggeringly inept the villain is. I can’t say I’d watch it again in a hurry, but I will say it’s the kind of flick you could discuss for hours, whether you’re talking about its themes of violence against women and their lack of a voice in society or all its hilarious little foibles. Not high art, but an interesting watch nonetheless. See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 4 Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacanas, o elenco é mais ou menos, e só a garota ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é boa, os personagens sao mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, mas também o filme teve cenas pesadas de sexo explícito e com mortes da garota com um tapa olho, que detalhe a Ellen Driven do Kill Bill é referência a essa garota do filme, é também a Ellen driven usa um tapa olho, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo esse filme. See more Laurie S @Karlwinters 07/19/2023 Excellent female revenge thriller. I love the girl/woman kickass films where they get retribution on the ones who have done them wrong. And this was a good film noir. See more brad p 02/21/2023 Thriller: A Cruel Picture is unflinching and visceral. Not for the faint of heart. See more Read all reviews
