I Spit On Your Corpse (1974) Al Adamson

Just when you though it was safe to go back in the bedroom... Two mob hit women are set up as exectioners for hire. They mix love, murder and cruelty in their work in this fast-paced thriller on wheels. I Spit On Your Corpse is a violent, raw production starring legendary X-rated star Georgina Spelvin (Behind the Green Door) as a tough-as-nails hit woman sprung from a Mexican prison by a mob boss with big plans. Her first job is the murder of a blackmailing politician, but when a witness flees in panic Spelvin and her vicious girlfriend Rosalind Miles hit the road to silence her for good! Produced independently by Sam Sherman and shot by longtime collaborator Gary Graver (who also photographed Orson Welles's last films), it's a lean, brutal from start to finish with a hard, vicious edge and a nihilistic twist rarely seen in the low-budget action films made today.

The action is great, the sleaze-factor was high, and the three main women in the film are dynamite. And the ending! Man, what a shocker! Completley non-typical for this kind of drive-in movie. It's very surprising, and made my impression of the film even better.

The movie is cheesy, yes, but at a time when most movies made in Hollywood let you down, I SPIT ON YOUR CORPSE is a breath of fresh air. After all, the worst thing a movie can be is dull. And this movie certainly ain't.
