While Abbey is taking care of the seriously injured Jackie, Trina tries to get help, but Addley, who has disguised himself as a policeman, tries to catch Trina, but she escapes. When Jackie succumbs to her injuries, her school friends know only one thing: merciless revenge.
The two decide to put an end to their tormentors. First they kill Ike with extreme brutality, they ram an ax between his legs and suffocate him, they first pour a chemical into Addley's mouth, then they hit him on the head with a television set, he suffers severe burns on his face, but survives and reaches for Trina, with a meat cutter Trina chops on Addley until he is really dead. At the end of the film, the two vengeful school friends finally suffocate their mother, although she begs for mercy, with a plastic breast. At least Abbey seems to be losing her mind. Jackie is buried in the forest when both women are attacked in supposed safety by their mother's disfigured sister.
Reviews
“Actually, one can actually recommend the film, the tormented women act relatively human and not too stupid, as one is used to from women in horror films. Then there are a few really successful and really disgusting splatter scenes. "
“Many will be put off by the name Troma, but this film is certainly not a film like more well-known Troma productions. It is highly recommended and a classic of the slasher genre. With its well-told story and the really exciting and enthusiastic atmosphere, which is very well supported by the scenery, the actors and the music. It's a tougher film, but doesn't overdo it in its presentation. "
"Horror film that reveals its theme of a perverse mother-son relationship to increasingly rampant cruelty and cheap horror clichés."
