Justina Lynne gives her fans their money's worth again in YOUNG AND ABUSED, a straightforward presentation of rape for the segment of the XXX audience that likes their sex scenes with an edge. It's not much of a movie but the anonymous filmmakers knew their audience.
Lynne and always untrustworthy Joey Silvera drive off in his VW beetle for a picnic, but of course Joey (as Joe) wants sex instead. They make love on a blanket, and after this arousing scene, the car won't start. Joe goes off to find some gasoline, leaving a very unhappy Stephanie (Lynne) all alone to guard his precious car.
It being Sunday he has trouble finding a gas station but gets a ride from Valerie Franklin, who kindly takes him to her pad to make a phone call. Meanwhile two Southern guys Buck (Paul Scharf) and Frank (Franklin Anthony) see damsel Stephanie in distress and instead of helping her, they kidnap her. They take her to a small warehouse building and gang-rape her.
Meanwhile, Silvera and Valerie are interrupted in an incipient lovemaking scene by the arrival of her Black girlfriend Stacy (Tessie Lynn). Stacy, a lesbian, objects to Valerie having brought a guy to their home, but joins in for a threesome anyway, without much hesitation (this being a porn movie after all).
When Joe phones home Stephanie bawls him out for having left her alone, details the rape and breaks up with him - Silvera comically holds the phone away from his ear as her angry voice is too much to bear. Film ends with a bucolic scene of grazing cows, recalling their loud mooing on the soundtrack during the early picnic scene of lovemaking.
Not much there, with the most surprising element of the film being its crisp sound recording of dialog, which makes the action seem more real. Otherwise it's a sloppy effort, with several cast members sneaking a peek at the camera for direction. Lynne is lovely and gives an erotic performance as usual, but is quite unconvincing during the rape (including sodomy) sequence as her acting lapses quickly into cooperation. During the early '70s there were many major mainstream films about rape (memorably STRAW DOGS and THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING), and porn practitioners were a part of the craze.
