Forced Entry (1971)
This is the infamous offensive film where a sick fucker holds a gun to a poor girls head to force her to give him a blowjob. A very grim and brutal porno about a knife-wielding psycho NAM vet turned serial rapist/killer in the city that works at a gas station just to find victims (played by Harry Reems of Deep throat fame). I guess the theme of the film is that the war fucked his head so bad that he can't function as a normal human being in civilization, so now he's a sadistic sexual predator, raping women of life and happiness the same way Vietnam raped him of his sanity. His victims are subject to a lot of obscene verbal abuse before being raped in the most degrading way possible and then killed in cold blood by knife. The disturbing rape scenes are even more horrific when genuine Vietnam war footage is intercut with it, you'll go from seeing a woman being humiliated to Vietnamese children crying and dying, kind of a poetic contrast. This is a film that feels just so wrong to watch because all the graphic rapes and kills do not have any comedy, it's just pure nastiness...although you can still find inappropriate humor in some of the ridiculously cruel shit being muttered by the psycho. I must be a sick evil bastard cause I giggled a bit when he was yelling "YOU GOT SHIT ALL OVER MY PRICK!!!!" when he was was assraping some chick that kept crying. He then proceeded to kill her just for that shit. I'm a guy that laughed at the most racist parts of "American History X" and brutal parts in "Saving Private Ryan" cause it was so over-the-top dramatic for me, either I'm cynical and resistent when it comes to the art of cinema's attempt to manipulate a viewer's emotions or I really am an insensitive fucked-up scumbag. Anyways, the seriously amazing acting of both the crying females and insane Harry Reems are convincing enough to make any sane person wanna reach out for their phone and dial 9-11 to report a crime. If you ever want to show someone the most obscene film there is, this is a good pick...although people will think you're some sort of sicko serial killer in the making for watching this immoral misogynistic filth. (Don't say I didn't warn ya!) Overall, a solid disturbing sleaze film with a gritty atmosphere that's so dirty that you'll wanna wash your TV in soapy water later.
Crude Dude's Verdict: A porno too mean-spirited to be enjoyed as a porno. An appreciated viewing only to those looking for extreme films that push the limits of proper taste. So exploitation/horror fans, if movies like "Last House on the Left" or "I Spit on Your Grave" were too tame for you, check this out if you want to be the most disturbed asshole on the block.
