The idea was great. This really could have been a memorable movie, but the makers didn't do anything right. I don't really understand why there wasn't any soundtrack in this other than some crappy harmonica playing and some classical music. This genre was popular in the day, and while none of them really had much talent, this truly is bottom of the barrel fare. The entire case, without exception, couldn't act at all. Even the scenes where she's being violated were on the pathetic side. Just a bit over the top in their actions, including the female lead. The dialogue is the worst. Trite mundane nonsense just chewing up time. It unfolds in typical fashion, and there's actually no suspense or surprises to be found anywhere. Geez, the lead actress isn't even very pretty and has a rail thin frame. She's just another no talent star who likely boffed the right people to get cast. This is a rare example of the remake being better than the original, and the remake was preposterously silly crap. It's filmed in a lovely location, but we don't get to enjoy much of that. Cinematography was laughably atrocious. I guess if I had to find a positive it would be adequate lighting. The true star of this movie is the Evinrude boat motor. That should tell ya everything.
