ActionThrillerCrime
1981, Movie, 1h 21min
Abel Ferrara’s exploitation-scuzz classic takes place in the cesspool of 1980s New York, where mute garment-district worker Thana (Zoë Lund, who also cowrote Ferrara’s BAD LIEUTENANT) is raped once, twice—and then something snaps. Packing a pistol and clad in leather (and later a nun’s habit), Thana handily wastes a good chunk of Manhattan’s male population, while Ferrara and Lund, at once reveling in and subverting the film’s grindhouse trappings, forge a feminist statement in extremis.

In this cult classic, a mute seamstress named Thana is brutally raped twice in one day. She then takes justice into her own hands, arming herself with a .45 caliber pistol and prowling the streets of New York City at night, randomly killing any man who tries to pick her up. As her body count rises, Thana becomes a vigilante, targeting men who mistreat women, and her actions spark a wave of panic throughout the city.
