Vault Note

Sometimes you just need a bazooka and a bandanna to fix your marriage.

Programmer's Pick

Violent Killer doesn't tiptoe around its exploitation roots—this is a revenge saga where the wronged housewife swaps domesticity for a bazooka and a headband. Eva Arnaz's transformation from victim to wildcat commando injects the film with an unfiltered energy, while the melodramatic brutality and unapologetic fashion choices keep the grindhouse spirit alive.
