Zoe Tamerlis ( 17 when She made this and died only about 20 years later) is wonderful as a Mute Seamstress who works for a Demanding employer, hears sexist taunts while She and her Co-Workers leave for the Day and is raped twice in one afternoon. During the second attack, she manages to turn the tables, get his Gun and then it's DEATH WISH/REPULSION territory as Zoe begins targeting Lowlifes throughout the city (although I felt the Guy in Chinatown really had nothing wrong and sort of relieved He escapes). Low budget sort of hampers the overall effect, but some great scenes, especially the sequence in Central Park. As the film continues, Zoe (who wears little to no makeup in the beginning-looking like a young Natasha Kinski) increases her Hunting skills and is all but glammed out by the end! ****
