STARS: Susana Dosamantes (Darker Than Night), Hugo Stiglitz (Nightmare City), Pedro Armendáriz Jr (Once Upon a Time in Mexico)

SYNOPSIS: In a classic exploitation set up a woman’s husband and kids are murdered by a gang of criminals. In this case a robbery gone sideways. They shoot her too… but she manages to survive. From this point forward her only goal is revenge. She starts working again as a psychiatrist and by chance one of the gang members comes to her office overcome by guilt. He doesn’t recognize her and spills his guts about the killings from a year earlier. This information enables her to track down the other creeps. She dresses up with different wigs and outfits that would be right at home in Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo to cruises dive bars, movie theaters and back alleys looking for revenge. Her weapon of choice is an 8 inch long ice pick so she can get in close. Eventually she must face off with the gang leader in the final showdown. Mexican film fave Hugo Stiglitz plays a reporter covering the murders. No bare skin in this one but plenty of violence, car chases, shoot-outs and sleaze. In Spanish language with English subtitles.

Bonus: Original video preview
