While there isn't much to enjoy during the gruelling rape scenes they do make it easy to sympathise with Jennifer as she extracts her revenge.
This feeling is increased by the almost total lack of music. it makes everything seem more matter of fact. There may be little in the way of character development, especially for the men but I suspect that was deliberate. The story may be basic but it is effective. Normally I'm not a fan of censorship but having read some other reviews I'm not sorry that the version I saw was cut the rape scenes were disturbing enough even with substantial cuts. In this time Jennifer has recovered and now she is ready to get her bloody revenge on the four men. Two weeks later they are concerned as the murder has yet to be reported soon after they learn that Matthew lied. Not wanting to leave a witness they send Matthew back into her house to kill her but he can't do it. This happens three times on the river bank, in the woods and finally back in her house. Later they take a boat to her house and she is brutally raped. Here she attracts the attention of four young men the attendant at the gas station, two of his unemployed friends and Matthew, the somewhat simple deliveryman from the local shop. This film tells to story of Jennifer Hills a New York writer of short stories who has decided to spend the summer in the Connecticut countryside writing her first novel. These comments are based on watching International Trading (UK) Ltd DVD certified in 2001 this version has major edits to the more disturbing scenes the 'alternate versions' section gives a more complete description of the cuts.
