Picture this: two female teenagers, proud of the effects puberty has had on their physical attributes, abandon the safety of the suburbs for a day of excitement in the big city. Once there, they are accosted by three sociopaths (two males and a female), who convince them of the existence of a party. This leads to a kidnapping, and, ironically, the girls are transported back to the country, where they are tortured and murdered.

If one irony weren't enough, the murderers end up at the house of one of the girls, where the parents eventually divine that their daughter is dead and their guests are the culprits. The remainder of the movie consists of the equally sadistic manner in which the parents take revenge.

Does this sound familiar? It should: not only does this movie lack one mote of humanity, it's a shameless rip-off of Ingmar Bergman's "A Virgin Spring." The Bergman movie *without* subtitles was more understandable than this nihilistic claptrap.
