Linda
is viciously raped by a man in a hockey mask. When she attempts to report
the crime to the police, she discovers that they are less interested
in finding the attacker than she expected them to be. At a support center,
Linda finds some other women who had been assault and received the same
treatment. Together they form a 'rape squad' that begins searching for
rapists and (specifically) the hockey-masked assailant. This squad is
armed with bottles of acid and they intend to 'let the revenge fit the
crime."
Director
Bob Kelljan began his career as a television actor, appearing in numerous
episodes of The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock
and Outer Limits. He became a director for American
InternationalStudio in the early seventies (he's best known
for the blaxploitation horror opus SCREAM
BLACULA SCREAM). After this film, he returned to TV as a director,
helming episodes of S.W.A.T, Dukes of Hazzard, Charlies
Angeles (et al) before his death from cancer in November

Regarding
the main female members of the cast, each has a background in American
television. However, Jo Ann Harris began her career with the marijuana-grindhouse
motion picture MARYJANE
(1968) before delving into decades of TV work which included guest shots
on Dragnet, Gunsmoke, Mod Squad and Hawaii Five-O. In
1989, she became one of the voice actors for The Simpsons. Ms
Harris has since retired from the industry. Co-star Lisa Moore also
ventured down the television highway, featured in numerous projects
from Mannix to Ironside. She paused only to make a handful
of feature films which include this one and the blaxploitation classic
HITMAN. Ms Moore died in a car accident April 1989 at age
48. The third actress here is Jennifer Lee who had considerably less
experience that her co-stars. She is better known as the wife of comedian
Richard Pryor and she worked as his producer for numerous TV and movie
productions.
