CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Woodyanders Two depraved young men kidnap a sexy blonde (a sympathetic portrayal by the sumptuous Mai Jansson) and hold her hostage in the grubby cellar of an old warehouse so they can their sick kicks doing assorted foul and perverted things to the poor lass. Tautly directed with trademark streamlined efficiency by exploitation ace Lee Frost (who also did the stark black and white cinematography and razor-sharp editing), with an unflinchingly harsh script by the legendary David F. Friedman, a brisk pace, plenty of yummy bare distaff skin, a hard, warped, and utterly amoral tone, excellent use of the grimy and claustrophobic basement location, a dynamic bebop jazz score by Dave Roberts and William Castleman, and jolting moments of sadistic misogynistic violence, this nasty little number packs quite a harsh punch. Bryon Mabe and Jerome Eden are both perfectly slimy as our odious twosome, with Mabe a particular stand-out as the meaner and most scary of the disgusting duo. Moreover, the fact that these two bastards are basically well-to-do good-looking guys who engage in all kinds of foul antics primarily to alleviate the tedium of their comfortable lives makes them that much more despicable. A sleazy and sordid treat.

christopher-underwood Amazing Friedman production, generally considered to be the first 'roughie', so it's black and white soft-core sex. Plus because there were restrictions as to how much sex action could be seen, we get violence instead. Great irony as others have noted that you couldn't show too much loving but you could show hitting. This is a bit slow in places and the cars, the girls and the guys all look more 50s than 60s but the flesh, the fashions and talk of 'kicks' brings us more into the period. The extent of slapping and spanking is astonishing and the sleaziness of the kidnapped girl's basement surprising. Friedman reckons this would get an 'R' rating today - he's living on another planet if he thinks it would even get made. Excellent key trash movie.

PaulyC David friedman wrote this and it's no surprise. The acting is actually pretty good for this kind of film which makes it more realistic. Two young thrill seekers kidnap a girl and make her their slave. It is "purely for kicks" states one of the kidnappers but the other begins questioning his partner and wants to let her go sooner rather then later. Their life seems to consist of driving around town or making out on the beach with babes. This film has a reputation for being rough to watch for its subject matter but I think most will find it pretty tame. There is however a scene or two where they spank the girl and hit her with a belt but not much is shown. I found this film fairly entertaining but it is certainly not for everyone.

mark czuba Although quite tame by todays standards, this early roughie produced by the king of Exploitation David F. Friedman, and Directed by Lee Frost (Director of such drive-in classics like Love Camp Seven, and Chain-gang Women) is still enjoyable to watch if your a fan of Exploitation films. The story goes The Defilers are two hedonistic young men who, just for kicks, abduct a sexy blonde (Mai Jansson) as their own personal sex toy. They keep her in a litter, graffiti infested basement room, and when she does not go along with their plan, they beat her unmercifully until she submits. There is not much nudity this film (or Defiling as the title suggests), too risky for those innocent times when nudity on the screen was a big deal. Even the violence in the film is just downright cheesy in this day in age. But fun nonetheless to watch. The Opening sequence with a cool Jazz score is so cool!! They do not make films like this anymore. A lost art.
