Title: Pussy Kills
Director: Gabriel Black
Where to see it: Amazon Prime
This is another movie that is "Free" if you subscribe to Amazon Prime. Expect to see a lot more of these, as Prime has become either a "dumping ground" or major destination (depending on your point of view) for independent genre movies every since they initiated Amazon Video Direct.
Some movies, like my own "Lumber vs Jack" or "Alien Vengeance II: Rogue Element" are even properly FREE if you're willing to sit through some ads. (Those two are free until Dec 24, 2017 and then revert to Prime)
Anyway, back to the movie at hand, "Pussy Kills".
Let me start with a WARNING: This is a "rape revenge" movie, so it does feature a rape scene that may be especially disturbing for some viewers. That said, the scene is done "well", in the sense that it is disturbing. It does make you hate the bad guys. It makes you believe the motivation of the heroine and it does not attempt to use the scene as means of titillating the viewer. So, it's as "right" as a scene like this can be, which means it's going to be disturbing.
Lina Maya plays Susie and her alter ego, Pussy. The basic plot is that her parents were killed, the cops don't seem to be doing much about it and when she tries to investigate the criminals herself, things go horribly wrong, sending her on vengeance fueled rampage.
Actually, here, just give the trailer a view:
As you can see from the trailer, the acting is pretty solid, if not totally even throughout the entire cast. The cinematography was impressive for an indie. There were no audio issues to speak of and most of the F/X were pretty effective. On a technical level, this movie rates pretty high for what was obviously a low budget endeavor. There was a snow or ash filter that seemed to be used for no apparent reason. I found it more distracting than useful, but I'm sure the editor or director had some reason for using it. Also, at one point some muzzle flashes are overused, but otherwise the gunplay was pretty good for an indie movie of this type.
The revenge scenes with Pussy tracking down her prey were a bit random, but overall the kills were pretty creative. The story was easy to follow and the action sequences were well done.
If you like revenge movies, exploitation movies or even horror movies (this is more of an action flick, but some of the kills will appeal to horror fans), then this is definitely worth giving a watch, especially if you already have Amazon Prime.
If a sequel is made, I'd watch that too.
And keep an eye out for Lina Maya. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her.
