"Highly Recommended" -- Monstera At Play "If you consider yourself any kind of cult/exploitation/fringe film fan, this is a must have". -- DVD Talk "Synapse has done their usual high-tech job delivering their best work with the transfer and a wonderful audio track" -- Home Theater Forum Thriller: They Call Her One Eye (Vengeance Edition) The original version of Thriller(Limited Edtion) was on over 10 "DVD Best Of, Lists" last year. This version is much more acessible. All the violence and action sequences are intact. Christina Lindberg is a well-known and highly worshipped cult film actress. This is the film Quentin Tarantino used for inspiration for Ellie (Darryl Hannah) Driver's character in Kill Bill 1 & 2 Review: Great! - On time and just as described. Review: Good Movie - I saw this movie a long time ago. The quality was awesome.

Vengeance is a lady
Like many folks I bought this because I'd read that Quentin Tarantino was a big advocate of this film.Now I love Switchblade Sisters another Quentin fave but thought that Rolling Thunder was overrated.Luckily I'd say that Thriller is more akin to Sisters than Thunder.I won't go crazy writing about the details of this film as it's pretty cut and dry.It's a female gets revenge on those who abused her mostly males film.I agree with those that say it's not as over the top violent or sadistic as I Spit On Your Grave the nadir of these type films.It does have it's good points one being the lovely Christina Lindberg as the avenging one eyed hooker turned assassin.I've seen her work before most notable as Anita the misunderstood nympho in the film of the same name.She does great as far as conveying the characters feelings without ever uttering a word.Some don't like the slow motion kill scenes but I found them to look great.The effects of the gunshot wounds looked awesome way more believable than the CGI crapolla out there today.You can see where Quentin got the idea for Hannah's eye patch in the Kill Bill films as well as where he came up with the vivid kill scenes when the Bride wipes out the Crazy 88's.I hear that there are 2 cuts of the film available one with hardcore porn and one edited out.Reminds me of the films of Joe D'Amato who often added sex just for the hell of it to his films.I got the yellow Vengeance version sans porn so I can't comment on the quality of that material.In closing if films like Last House on the Left,MS.45,I Spit on Your Grave and others intrest you then I recommend this it's flawed but quite watchable.

i actually prefer the "edited" version
I know it's supposedly a sign of being a real hip and savvy fan of cult cinema to always possess unrated, uncut, or directors versions of obscure B or C films--and I'm not excluding myself from this designation, either. I've searched to obtain the longer, "real" editions of many cult films over the years, first in the days of videotapes, then dvds, and now with streaming and "other" services, too... However, even though it may sound heretical, in the case of this film I think the R-rated film (They Call Her One Eye) is a stronger film without having the porno inserts of different sex performers doing the nasty in close-ups substituting for the actual actors in the film. These inserts are not organic to the film at all and (I feel) detract more from the story than add anything to it (except for some brief wallowing in close-up sex acts). Yeah, I suppose in the '70s this seemed to be a daring, push-the-envelope move that no doubt earned this film its cult reputation, but nowadays in our age of readily available gynecological porn available just a google-click away, they add nothing to the film. The one drawback about the R version, though, is it also omits the few brief shots of extreme violence which actually were a part of the original production, but I can live without those, too, because (let's face it) they are not really very great special effects anyway. I am NOT by any means saying the unrated "Cruel Picture" version shouldn't be available. I believe everyone should have the freedom to choose whatever version of a film it is they want to see. I just to happen to think this film works better as great drive-in revenge film without the unnecessary porno shots.

Thriller they call it a tease albeit a fun one
This is a great movie highlighting all that Scandinavia has to offer in the guns, girls, and gore department. Unfortunately this version of the movie is edited to exclude the hardcore scenes of the star and her clients. This does not detract from the viewing experience. The over the top plot dialog and action make Thriller a great movie worthy of Tarantino's praise (check Rolling Stone December 2006 for his exact words). THIS IS WORTH A WATCH BUT IT IS EDITED TO EXCLUDE HARDCORE SCENES YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT.

Difference between the two versions: The eye puncture scene and xxx
They call her one eye has an edited eye puncture scene, and all the hardcore sex footage (done by stand ins) have been edited and or removed completely!The cruel picture version is entirely uncut and the one of the two worth checking out. Eitherway, though this film was ahead of its time and paved the way for many of the revenge films that followed I thought it was worth watching but not owning and give the unedited version three stars. They call her one eye I give 2 1/2 stars

In a word...TERRIBLE!
Cult classic??? I think not! This was by far one of the worse movies I've ever seen. This movie is WAY over-rated. Terrible acting, even for a 70's movie, with very stupid and annoying music. It jumped all over the place in a nonsensical manner. It had a fairly decent plot and could have been done so much better. Don't waste your money on this one. Anyone looking to purchase out of curiosity, go to eBAY and buy mine. I'm listing it for a buck. I've had it 1 day and it's going on the block. Definitely not something I'll every watch again.

Not worth watching!
I found this move to be totally lacking in reality. The martial arts were so pathetic it was funny. If you are looking for a true life "Rape/Revenge" move try "I Spit on your grave" 2010, now that is true to life!

very nice!
74年と古い作品ですが、良くできた作品です。 カルト感も漂う、何とも言えない雰囲気を持った良作。 リメイクしたら面白そうですね。

Interesante pero setentera
Original, cruda incluso cruel. Es adictiva aunque a veces sea dura de ver. Es de los 70. Experimentación pero también entretenimiento.
