The Taking of Christina (1976)


One of my fav films. The cover looks like a whimpy chick flick, but this is a nasty rape/revenge hardcore sexploitation classic. Kinda like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Axe" but a lot more mean-spirited than those two flicks. Everything starts off with some chick fantasizing about getting married with a guy she's been seeing for a long time. She was saving her virginity just for him cause she was the innocent type that still believes in sex after marriage. Later her whole life is ruined when she gets kidnapped by these two criminal buddies (one a sadistic mysoginist and the other a sensitive dork that doesn't approve of his buddy's antisocial ways, but still a criminal too). Earlier these guys were with hookers but one of them got pissed off and said he didn't like filthy whores you have to pay for, that's why he went out and abducted some more wholesome pussy right after he beat up one of the hookers. After tying the chick to a bed and violently raping her, his buddy gets to talk to the battered woman, sympathizing with her...and then also fucking her (they don't call this "Taking of Christina" for nothing). Suddenly the chick is cool with these guys and wants to live with them, even gets in a hot threesome with them (huh?!) but something drastic happens in the suprisingly violent end. There's also some other fucked up scenarios that are funny in an ironic way, you really need this! It's a very solid film that has actual character development and pretty deep story too, top notch work for an ultra-sleazy porno. Tom Savini I read in Cinema Sewer made an appearance here also, that makes it even more interesting. Cduniverse has it at the cheapest I've ever seen it, go get it from them.
