This film acts as a direct sequel to the first film, and it was great to see Jennifer Hills back as Sarah Butler.
Still haunted by what happened, we find her now living in a cheap downtown apartment and attending a weekly rape counseling meeting with other victims.
At the meeting, she soon befriends the feisty Maria, and is inspired to find a new confidence in herself.
Maria encourages Sarah to be more feisty too - but Sarah is seemingly more restrained.
When Maria mentions that she believes that revenge is the best way to serve justice on the rape crimes that the police and courts fail to do, just how far will she go and will it stir up latent feelings in Sarah?
The first hour of this film was great, and I have to say I was surprised at how good it actually was.
I liked the idea of Sarah getting back on with her life with a new office job, and attending the meetings with other victims.
As it went on, I kind of had my own conclusion to the film mapped out in my head - but, unfortunately in the final half hour, that's where it all goes horribly wrong and the film goes off the rails.
Without wanting to give spoilers, let's just say that the central premise is total to overplayed and exploited to the point of stupidity. In the first film, Sarah was stealthy, clever and totally in control of her actions - but here she is totally out of character and out of control, and the silly ending will leave you feeling cheated.
7 out of 10 for the first hour - zero for the rest!
