I WANT TO GET EVEN

LIMITED SLIPCOVER EDITION in stock and shipping now from Cauldron Films and diabolik DVD!

Indonesia’s premier female action star of the 1980s Eva Arnaz stars as Irma, a pregnant bar hostess with a troubled marriage (to put it lightly) to bulky lunk Rudy. Her life isn’t great but she’s making the best of it. But things go quickly downhill for her when she’s kidnapped and assaulted by local druglord Cobra. She escapes her captors only to find her idiotic hubby less than sympathetic. When she refuses his demands that she abort their baby, he pushes her from a moving car!

Meanwhile, Cobra betrays his business partner Roni, played by ubiquitous Indo character actor Dicky Zuklarnean, setting up a bloody gang war, while in the background Rudy keeps trying and failing to get retribution on the criminals. These two narrative threads end up meeting in the film’s truly explosive finale, when Irma finally gets her ultraviolent revenge!

I WANT TO GET EVEN is pure exploitation, pure trash, through and through. The only thing uglier than the early 80s fashions on display is the film’s sexual politics. Truly the sleaziest film made in the heyday of the Indonesian exploitation explosion and Neon Eagle Video could not be more thrilled to bring it to US home video for the first time since the VHS era. WARNING: This film is not for the faint of heart or easily offended!
