Coming up with a cool title is the easy part.

The Last House on the Left meets Ms. 45 in this tawdry tale of murder, rape and revenge that sees Catholic schoolgirls Rebecca and Catherine (Christina DeRosa and Cheryl Lyone) witness the murder of a hooker by local pimp Lobo (Peter Tahoe). Taken captive by the killer and his skeezy low-life gang, the girls are subjected to a harrowing ordeal of physical abuse, before Catherine is shot in the head, and Lyone is raped and left for dead in the woods.

Waking in hospital, having been found wandering naked and delirious by a passerby, Lyone hops out of bed, borrows a tight fitting nurse's outfit, grabs herself a shotgun, and goes looking for revenge.

'Run! Bitch Run!' is a frustrating exercise in exploitation pastiche from first time director Joseph Guzman, a man so focused on scoring 'cool points' by taking his sensationalist content to the nth degree that he completely disregards realism, pacing, and originality in the process; as Quentin Tarantino has clearly illustrated with his last few films, achieving that authentic grind-house feel is a lot harder than one might imagine, and it takes a lot more than regurgitating themes pilfered from the classics and overwhelming your audience with excess to succeed.

I guess that Guzman's heart is in the right place, but his misguided attempt at 'out-sleazing' his contemporaries seriously backfires, turning his intended tribute into something closely resembling a parody. Despite (un)healthy doses of sex and violence, a suitably grainy look, and an undeniably cool (but rather over-used) soundtrack, 'Run! Bitch Run!' never ever feels like the 'Real McCoy', but rather comes across as a cartoonish mockery of all that we enjoy about the genre.

Another big problem is the imbalance of the whole project, with plenty of the film devoted to non-essential scenes that do nothing to propel the narrative forward, but not nearly enough time spared for the retribution aspect of the story, which for me is the most satisfying part of any rape/revenger. After much build up, the vengeance is short, but not all that sweet, with very little in the way of truly disturbing violence (more gore please!) and only chief bad-guy Lobo getting anything like the nasty treatment he deserves—a machete repeatedly shoved up his ass!

Guzman's next project is the niftily monickered 'Nude Nuns with Big Guns', but the director should be warned—coming up with a cool title is the easy part...

Slow paced and fairly dull...

For a revenge movie then this 2009 movie was nowhere near as interesting, thrilling or disturbing as other movies of the same genre, for example "I Spit on Your Grave".

The idea of the movie, the storyline if you will, is very simple and straight forward, as they usually tend to be for these particular types of movies. The storyline, simply put, is about two Catholic school girls find themselves at the mercy of three maniacs when they knock on their door during their trip to sell bibles.

It is no secret that we don't watch these movies for their elaborate storyline. Hardly so. No, we watch these movies for the violence and to see what kind of wicked ways the movie makers come up with for torturing people on the screen and what nasty ways people are killed by those wronged in the movie. Yes, the revenge genre is a particularly nasty genre by comparison to most other genres.

And you find yourself watching these movies because you enjoy the genre, most likely not because you stumble upon them by sheer random luck.

What ultimately killed off this movie for me, pardon the pun, was the slow pace that it trotted on at, and the lack of convincing acting performances by the majority of the cast (which wasn't many, mind you, as there were few people in the movie). Had there been more talented people in the movie, it would have been all the more enjoyable.

Don't get me all wrong here, because there were also nice aspects to the movie, they were just overshadowed by the less than mediocre stuff. And that was a shame, because it dragged the movie down.

There are far better movies available in this particular genre. And I can honestly say that now as I have seen the movie, I am not going to revisit it ever again.

One of the best exploitation horror films i have seen!!

I watched Run! Bitch Run! last night and i found it to be one of the best exploitation horror film i have ever seen. It is about two innocent teenage catholic schoolgirls, who are trying to sell religious books from door to door to try and pay for there education. But things start to go very wrong when they arrive in a certain neighbourhood and happen to knock on the wrong door. The two schoolgirls are confronted by en evil woman called Marth and a psychotic man called Clint. One of the girls Rebecca is raped and is left for dead. But the other girl Catherine happens to awake, and she wants revenge. I found this to be a disturbing film at times, because of the sexual violence in it. and some of the sex sences were also disturbing. It reminded me of some of the horror films from the 1970's such as I Spit On Your Grave, and The Last House On The Left i would recommend this film to people who enjoy exploitation films. 7/10
