Unpleasant exploitation

THE WICKED DIE SLOW is an unpleasant little exploitation flick with a western setting. The main plot involves a woman being subjected to a brutal assault before a gunslinger and a loved one go in search of the people responsible. In essence, it's a string of tawdry sex and sexual assault sequences made with little in the way of finesse and littered with the kinds of basic errors you get in low budget filmmaking. There's a lot of unpleasantness but at this kind of budget it's not particularly disturbing.

American by way of Italy

Of all the early Cannon movies, I would never have expected that a roughie American version of an Italian western would be one of the ones released on blu ray - Ronin Flix - but life is always so surprising.

The Kid (Gary Allen, one of the movie's writers) and his Mexican sidekick Amarillo (Jeff Kanew, the other one of the movie's writers) ride through the Wild West of New Jersey, a place where The Kid meets and falls in love with a young girl played by Susannah Campbell. Most of this movie will have her being assaulted by bandits, miscreates and even her father, who kills himself and gets buried by The Kid.

William K. Hennigar directed Mr. Mari's Girls and Seven Days Too Long, another early Cannon movie. As for Allen, he would go on to act in everything from Annie Hall to Alice, Sweet Alice and The Sentinel while Kanew would direct Revenge of the Nerds, Gotcha!, Tough Guys, Troop Beverly Hills and V. I. Warshawski.

This is a more than sleazy regional oddity. I can get behind lots of scummy stuff in a movie, but one that has near-constant sexual assault isn't really my thing. Your mileage - I hope not - may vary.
