thriller: a cruel picture (1973)

aka en grym film . They Call Her One Eye.
"I like women that don't talk much..."
Madeline (Christina Lindberg), a young mute woman, living in rural Sweden, misses her bus, and innocently accepts a lift from Tony (Heinz Hopf), who kidnaps her, forcing her into a drug habit, then blinds her in one eye, and forces her into prostitution. But unknown to him, in her downtime, she is learning karate and shooting, life skills that come in handy when she eventually takes revenge.
Lindberg exhibits a fragility, that turns feral after her abuse, allowing this slight and unevenly paced film some life. And whatever your thoughts on the film, she looks mighty cool in her leather coat and eye patch.
