Forced Entry
A disturbed mechanic stalks, rapes, and murders young women as retaliation for the childhood abuse inflicted by his mother. He becomes infatuated with a beautiful housewife who he intends to make his next victim.
Why it matters
A grimy descent into 1970s grindhouse terror that confronts trauma through unflinching, exploitative violence.
- One of the era’s rawest explorations of cycle-of-abuse horror, predating and influencing later psychological slashers.
- Director Menahem Golan’s gritty lens captures urban decay with unsettling authenticity, making the cityscape a character in its own right.
- Notorious for its brutal practical effects and disturbing performances that unsettle rather than entertain — a grim reminder of horror’s capacity to shock.
- For fans of exploitation horror who appreciate unvarnished, morally complex villains and the darker side of ‘70s crime cinema.
