There's no skimping on the horrors that Dani Lynn goes through after being brutally gang raped in one of the most shocking scenes filmed up to this time. Her screams go unanswered as she is violated, and unfortunately, this is not a film about retribution but how she has to deal with the aftermath of the crime that society viewed her as responsible for. Talking to her own doctor, a priest and a high priced abortion specialist leads her to a man in a dive bar who can set up the illegal procedure for the low sum of $190. Her shame which had her as the victim has a grave impact on her life so be prepared to be completely horrified by the aftermath of the sickening twists.
Blonde bombshell Merry Anders is the epitome of support as her roommate, obviously hardened by life but still decent in spite of everything she's been through. She kids around that one day she might need to have the same procedure herself. The steps to the actual procedure (truly back alley) are revolting and obviously call for reform for girls like Lynn who became pregnant through no fault of their own.
The narration truly exposes the exploitation elements of the film and calls out a warning to society as to why ancient methods of terminating pregnancies must end. As dark and depressing and serious this film is, I really felt sorry for Patty and cringed a couple of times, shaking my head at the unfeeling methods of cold hearted nurse Mary Patton and the so-called physician husband of hers who looked like a horror movie monster.
