Forced Entry

After Hours Cinema is extremely proud to be able to present this special DVD edition of a true classic. Since the time of its theatrical release, Forced Entry has become something of a grindhouse legend. Part slasher film and part adult cinema, it certainly must have shocked contemporary audiences and still continues to pack a powerful punch today. Recently released from duty, a deranged Vietnam vet - Harry Reems of Deep Throat) - brings the carnage home with him and declares war on New York City s female population. The no-name loner finds work at a one-pump gas station, where he is able to obtain information on customers that pay by credit card. Armed with his intended victims addresses, along with his trusty gun and knife and the sounds of a distant jungle battle screaming in his brain, the homicidal maniac forces his way into the homes of innocent young women...to act out his most violent psychosexual impulses. Product Description

FORCED VIEWING

Well I own and have seen this pile of dump only once(I have to keep it though for I am a collector..A STUPID ONE AT THAT) In this mostly bloodless and totally suspenseless stalker movie features Max as a lonely loon who talks to himself a lot and murders women. Tanya Roberts who is always nice to look at and in her film debut is the ultimate target for Max. Also keep a look out for Nancy(CARRIE-ROBOCOP)Allen in her film debut as well. Originally titled THE LAST VICTIM TO THE RIGHT ("sheesh") Watching a blank screen is more interesting. The one star is for Tanya Roberts killing the idiot and parading around in her denim Daisey Dukes August 3, 2008

For "selective" tastes...

If you are interested in 70's cult movies, then it's worth getting for your collection. If this isn't your taste for movies, then just rent it. March 26, 2008

Forced Entry (1974)

Honestly this is not one of my favorite films, but it could be considered a classic grindhouse/B-movie/porn type of film for some collectors. However, it does give a good focus as to the hidden parallels of the human mind when faced with a traumatic experience. February 13, 2008

Yes....it goes "there"...but with a price

The Capt. had never heard of this '70's film before reading about it here at Amazon. So, I purchased it to see what all the fuss was about.

Yes...this film (that could never be made today) had hard core sex scenes in it. There were three, one oral, one from behind, and one lesbian scene. The price for these hot rape/sex scenes is the non-stop flashback scenes of the Vietnam war! I know the director is (constantly) attempting to imply this murderous rapist is mentally disturbed by his time spent in Vietnam, but it really got old quick. Over and over again, during some hot violent sex, there are black and white "flashbacks" to scenes of the war. It ruined what were otherwise somewhat hot scenes.

Its also too bad these actresses were not that hot looking. There is more 'hairy beavers' in this film than a nudist commune in Berkeley! It looks so dated by today's standards. The rape scene of the woman in her apartment was quite realistic, and very well done, but as I stated, those Vietnam flashbacks take their toll on you after a while.

The picture and sound quality were both terrible....one of the worst films (quality) I've ever owned on DVD.

If you are looking to get off with your girlfriend while watching something very freaky....this will definately do the trick. The problem is, most women 'may' find these three rape scenes a bit too realistic to make them horny. I said "may" because if your girlfriend's undies are drenched while watching this hard core film with you....you are dating a serious freak dudes! When it comes time to get it on with your woman after watching the stabbing scene...you'll know how much of a freak your girl is...especially if you do not have to make a "forced entry"! ;)

The Capt. has spoken.....! February 11, 2008

roughie

This film is an acquired taste. Definitely not for everyone, and obviously a product of its time. Its not an enjoyable film to watch and despite all the violence and degradation, it is also rather monotonous. However, it is worth checking out if you are an afficionado of the sleazy 42nd street Grindhouse genre. The film is very basic in its production values, but what sets this film apart is its attempt at including a wider social commentary about Vietnam vets coming home damaged and scarred by what they have been exposed to in combat. Credit should also be given to Harry Reems for his vivid performance. He certainly succeeds in creating a despicable character. Basically the film's purpose is to present a sequence of violent sexual attacks on women. However, I give the director credit for his use of Vietnam War stock footage to create atmosphere. I believe Gaspar Noe would have been influenced by this film for HIS notorious rape scene in Irreversible. Overall, this is not the type of film you would want to view again or even recommend, but I am happy to have it in my collection as I am a fan of the Grindhouse "genre"
NB: Not for the faint hearted or easily disturbed. The sex is explicit and the language is VERY brutal and misogynistic. The existence of this film makes you wonder what audience the director had in mind. January 14, 2008
