10 Gruesome Movies To Watch With Your Girlfriend This Halloween

9. They Call Her One Eye (1973)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYifTEAx5EU Former Penthouse Pet Christina Lindberg might seem an unusual choice to portray a mute village girl forced into prostitution, but her onscreen vulnerability means she€™s well-cast as a doe-eyed innocent who transforms into a passionless aggressor. Her character was the inspiration for Kill Bill€™s Elle Driver, but when Quentin Tarantino suggested Darryl Hannah see the movie, the actress complained she€™d been set a porno for homework. You can see why the movie would appeal to Tarantino: it€™s avant-garde exploitation, a one-of-a-kind picture whose mixture of Sam Peckinpah-ish violence, graphic sex scenes and arty minimalism displays a greater intent than to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It€™s a draining experience, to be sure, but it€™s also an unforgettable one, to which the words €œbleak€ and €œuncompromising€ do not do justice. While its presentation of sex is so unarousing as to deter cheap thrill seekers, however, the climactic confrontations are shot and staged with arthouse flair, all slow-motion and experimental music. As Lindberg takes revenge on her pimp, there€™s no just desserts satisfaction or any feeling that justice has been done, just a sense that revenge has been served as coldly as possible.
