Why Cult

NYC Grindhouse Setting

From Coney Island to Times Square, the film prowls Manhattan’s notorious mid-60s haunts, delivering a pulpy slice of urban underworld.

Female Revenge Plot

Tired of being pushed around, the streetwalkers organize to take on the Mob—expect racketeers to get more than they bargained for.

Exploitation Sleaze

A heady mix of murder, nudity, lesbian encounters, and bloody vengeance makes this a textbook example of 1960s exploitation cinema.

Low-Budget Bennetts

Darlene, Dawn, and Rita Bennett dominate the cast, adding a familial twist to this no-budget spectacle of vice.

About This Film

Madame Sue runs a successful Prostitute operation in the heart of NYC, and as it should happen, The Mob wants to get a piece of the action. Still, being the go ahead women they are, they decide to fight back and keep themselves independent of any outsider business influence.
