Janie (1970)

My quick rating - 3.7/10. "This here is a pure example of a sleaze fest. There's nudity and blood in it in the most gratuitous way. It isn't for everybody but people who love exploitation, roughies or grindhouse flicks this is a must see." Well, that grabbed my attention. So does Linda Vair as Janie. She is quite nice on the eyes with no acting talent LOL. Plus the narrator who is supposed to be Janie has to fight over the constant barrage of psychedelic music playing. the description of Janie being a sadistic teenager searching for "Daddy" murders and dismembers anybody who picks her up hitch-hiking somewhat describes this flick. This isn't the case since Janie isn't so much searching for Daddy but is constantly sleeping with him throughout the whole flick. Along with sharing her escapades with him as she murders people for no apparent reason except to get off. So with the flashes of the gruesome acts, she is often masturbating to the thoughts of their deaths. It is much more suggestive in the violence department due to obvious budget and creative restraints. I think the whole point was just mixing the constant breasts and blood even if the gore looked tame even for the early 70s. Calling this a must-see is entirely subjective but if you ask me, there are far better examples out there.

As expected, you won't find anywhere on Justwatch to check this out.
