Hell Hath No Fury has a guy (Aidan Simpson) sitting in a diner waiting for his girlfriend (Nicole Hancock) when a cowboy looking guy (Donny James Lucas) invites himself to join him. They begin to chat & the cowboy looking guy starts to tell him some stories...
First up is the tale of two friends who fall foul of a bit of possession & revenge...
Then it's the story of a female police officer who is raped by a guy but she manages to get her gruesome own back using hypnosis...
Then it's a guy who gets a visit from his future self for reasons I'm not sure about...
Finally it's the tale of a nurse named Deanna (Michelle Boback) who is raped twice within a day but she manages to turn the tables on one of her unfortunate attackers & he soon realises that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...
Directed by Rob Carpenter, Vince D'Amato, Ryan Nicholson & Peter Speers who all have various other credits including the script, producer, editing etc. I personally thought Hell Hath No Fury is a pretty poor low budget anthology that didn't particularly impress me. The script obviously bases it's four stories & the wraparound segment on the premise of female revenge & the first story is just poor, the second story could have been quite effective had the writing been better since it has a fairly neat little twist while the third is absolutely terrible & seemingly pointless & the fourth tale is easily the best as it sports some outrageous scenes of a demented woman going ape after being raped twice & some leg crossing genital torture plus she hires a guy to rape her male attacker in a suitably sleazy moment. However there's plenty here to dislike, the way it's written with all sorts of flashbacks, dreams & flash-forwards that confuse the story & the narrative, why weren't the stories just told in proper chronological order rather than jumping around all over the place besides being able to reuse the same footage more than once? They would have been far more effective because as it is they're a bit of a jumbled mess. Apart from the second story they all lack good twists & apart from the fourth they lack exploitation elements, overall not a good anthology as three of the four stories are too weak & at almost 2 hours long it outstays it's welcome.
I presume each of the four credited directors handled one of the stories & none of them do a particularly good job, it's very cheap looking & it looks like it was shot on a digital camcorder. There's plenty of shaky hand-held shots & lots of other annoying editing/camera tricks that look terrible. There are a few decent gore scenes, there's some scissors in someone head, someone has their head sliced off with a circular saw & a teeth clenching torture scene during the fourth story where a woman jerks a rapist off so he gets an erection & then proceeds to stick syringes in his penis & burns it with a blow torch all in graphic detail, ouch, ouch, ouch.
Technically the film is poor, it's not much better than a home film to be honest. The acting is predictably poor.
Hell Hath No Fury doesn't quite work, the idea is OK but the stories are too predictable & only the fourth tale provides any real entertainment or exploitation value which is why I'm giving it four stars out of ten. Not a film I can recommend but that torture scene is certainly memorable, just a shame about the rest of the film really.
