Run! Bitch Run! Review

Payback's A Bitch!

Director: Joseph Guzman
DVD Release Date: December 8, 2009
Run Time: 86 minutes

The plot of the movie is a very simple revenge flick, Two catholic school girls are out in the world selling bibles to anyone who will answer the door. But of course one of the houses holds a dark secret, Drugs and hookers.
When the two girls show up at the drug house they are welcomed with a murder. They are then captured for what they had seen and are raped. then one of them is killed, leaving the other to be left to seek revenge on the people who had left her to die in the woods.

The movie is less then 90 minutes long, So you would think we would jump into the action/revenge part of the film fairly quick. That doesn't happen. We are stuck with about 60 minutes of sexual acts(mostly boob shots at random, Shower scenes or stripper joints) and all this stuff about a plot or something.

We spend a solid chunk of time walking around in this movie or just showing off boobs, without a doubt it could have been cut down but then again the movie is already pretty short, So adding boobs and tree's helps lengthen the movie.

Then with you know about 20 minutes left in the movie we start to see some revenge, Which is pretty mild, as is the rest of the film In my opinion. But at the same time you can tell the director of the film wanted to go with a more throw back version then a modern day tell(think of this as "I spit on your grave" vs say the remake of "Last house on the left" thus making this the bit more cheesy film)

That being said even with the film being unrated you can tell it would still receive a pretty hard R, With all the nudity, drug use and blood that is splashed onto the screen, no doubt we would see the MPAA give this a Hard R rating.

The Gore is pretty mild, the best death scene might have to go to the guy taking a poo and then being shot point blank with the shotgun. But the kicker at the end of the film(which i wont spoil it just incase you decide to see the movie) is pretty darn funny and pretty nasty if i do say so myself.

The acting is cheesy and very on par with the 70's exploitation films, But i do have to give credit to our star girl at the end when she starts kicking some butt, her facial reactions and what not are a bit on the cool side.

The cinematography had a nice feel to it, the director defiantly got what he was looking for in the part of the movie. The old school grain filter gave it that awesome grindhouse feel to it. The amateur shots how ever did not help the film, Never did it stand out with anything you would see in a mainstream film. I've seen better camera work in other films of this kind.

The audio seems to be off in parts or louder in some areas and then back to normal here and there, I'm sure this was done on purpose for the whole old school film and all, but for some reason it just bugged me more then it should have.

The main selling point, and possibly the only real saving grace of this film is the soundtrack, Simply put it is awesome. I wouldn't mind owning it. Perfect way to keep the movie going from scene to scene.

But over all this movie is strictly for people who enjoy the classic 70's exploitation films and stuff along the lines of Grindhouse, Last house on the left, I spit on your grave or even the movie Dead Girl.
