ELLIE is a low budget little skin flick from America with a southern feel. The main character is a young woman who suffers at the hands of an evil step-brother and her lecherous siblings, so with murder in mind she decides to teach the whole lot of them a lesson. As a premise this sounds mildly workable, with Shelley Winters playing the grand-standing villain of the hour and the like; in terms of execution, however, this is entirely disappointing. The film is made with titillation in mind, designed to show off the youthful lead's body as much as possible, and many of the sexual situations are lame-brained and ridiculous. The end result? Entirely forgettable, and a waste of talent all round.
