“She’ll cream you!” Pam Grier as “the baddest One-Chick Hit-Squad that ever hit town,” a Florence Nightingale of the ghetto out to avenge the pushers who smacked out her kid sister, in the mega-hit that catapulted Grier to Blaxploitation stardom. “She inhabits a world…where torturing victims to death seems to be an admired art.” – The New York Times
Reviews
“A performance that defies and subverts the genre.”
– Time Out
“Jack Hill directs for maximal suspense, violence, and voyeuristic appeal (which Grier certainly embodies).”
– Don Druker, Chicago Reader
