Scott LeBrun "Victims!" is an ultra cheap, ultra crude exploitation feature notable for a misogynistic edge. Two lowlife bad guys played by Robert Axelrod and Lonny Withers go on a crime spree, and target four nubile ladies. These ladies have gone into a remote part of the desert to supposedly study rock formations for a geology class, but seem to be more interested in having fun. The cretins proceed to humiliate the gals for an extended period of time.Written by John O'Hara and directed by Jeff Hathcock, this movie looks and sounds pretty damn bad. But the writer & director know what their audience demands, and deliver various scenes of nudity and degradation. They get off to an awfully funny start with a couple of random scenes of tacky violence. Soon, they ease into what passes for this movies' story. Still, even at a running time of a mere 77 minutes, they're obliged to pad the thing as much as they can.The largely unattractive cast give what are some of the worst performances to be seen in this genre. Only Axelrod had a somewhat decent career after this, turning up in some of the Charles Bronson / Cannon Group pictures as well as the remake of "The Blob". That said, these performances *are* fairly amusing in their badness. Axelrod and Withers are stone cold creeps, and a flashback late in the movie reveals the origins of their hatred for women.And that music score! Composed by Glenn Baxley, it's a mind boggling assortment of inane, keyboard and piano based drivel.If the photography were of a higher quality, the use of the desert locations would come off better.This is worth a gander if you're interested in unearthing obscure trash movies, but be warned that it's more tedious than other cinema of its kind.Five out of 10.

EyeAskance A woefully pissant underachievement that reeks of a very uncool type of misogyny, VICTIMS finds a circle of young female geology students enjoying a relaxing expedition at some nameless middle-of-the-desert location(not the most appealing environment, but it's free to film your movie there). The girls are latterly besieged by some boneheaded creeps armed with hunting rifles on a rape-and-torture excursion. Not surprisingly, the proverbial tables are turned, and the morons are hit with their deserved comeuppance.Obviously drawing its feeble inspirations from an orbit of vastly superior films like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, this hack-job of a non-thriller is so unskillfully forged that it boggles the mind to know it was given even minimal home video distribution. Were it not for gratuitous nudity and a light peppering of semi-micro-potent moments, VICTIMS could have been a lightweight contender for ALL-TIME WORST accolades, and although it may have Lilliputian advantages over famously awful films such as ROBOT MONSTER or THE CREEPING TERROR, its flagrant brutish machismo is so abject and gross that it registers as somehow worse than those films in a roundabout, off-the-charts sort of way. Blecccch.3/10...avoid this cinematic hemorrhoid.

one4now4 This is, without a doubt, what everyone will agree that it is: awful, trashy, hateful, and sleazy. Still, being a conossieur of things nasty, I don't think it's all that worthless to fans of awful, trashy, hateful, sleazy movies (and by awful I don't mean movies like the mighty "I Spit on Your Grave", which applies to every trait other than awful in the sense that it was at least well-done). Not that I'm some sicko who gets off on rape or anything, but I did like the earlier rape scene based on its bondage qualities. The movie has some moments that are so cheezy and bad, you have to laugh or cry, which earns it some very generously given minor points from me. But, unless you're looking to blow a couple of bucks on renting this BAD movie with awful sound, cinematography, acting, music, gore FX, writing, etc., etc., don't even waste your time. I would give this piece of crap no more than about a half star myself for the very few substitutes for qualities I found in it, which again is VERY GENEROUS.

kevin-167 There are times when you see a movie that is so bad that it simply has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is one of those movies. The sound quality is so bad that at times you simply cannot hear what the characters are saying. At other times the lighting is so subpar that you are unable to see what is going on. This movie is meant to be someone's version of sexploitation which is okay with this viewer, but it is done so unprofessionally and with such a lack of taste that the viewer cannot enjoy themselves. The actresses in the movie are not actresses at all and in all honesty they are as ugly as a bunch of wounded goats. Despicable film!
