SHOCKING IN IT'S TIME AND STILL AN ABOVE AVERAGE TV MOVIE! March 2, 2009
! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)

Being a boy growing up in the 70's meant you had the hots for Linda Blair! After her breakthrough role as Regan in 'The Exorcist' Linda Blair was cast in a couple of TV films starting with 'Born Innocent' and then on to 'Sweet Hostage'. This film had a shocking and controversial scene of her being gang raped by a group of girls with a plunger! The scene is tame by today's standards, but it was something in the 70's especially in a TV movie.
The film is pretty good by TV standard of the era and it's amazing that studio executives would allow a 14 year old girl to be subjected to such a thing on screen....I guess after she got her privates invaded by a holy cross in 'The Exorcist' a plunger was the next best thing!? The DVD transfer looks pretty good and there some bios for the main actor. The trailer extras for some low budget horror films are a hoot!

I ORDERED THIS BECAUSE I REMEMBER SEEING IT BACK IN THE MID-70s WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND STILL NAIVE ABOUT THE WORLD. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AS GOOD SEEING IT AGAIN NOW IN MY 40s WITH LOTS OF INSIGHT ON LIFE. LINDA BLAIR AT THAT TIME OFTEN PLAYED THE ROLE OF A TROUBLED TEENAGE GIRL. THERE IS A VIOLENT RAPE SCENE WHICH TAKES PLACE IN THE SHOWER ROOM AT THE GIRLS' DETENTION CENTER. I FELT THIS WAS FILMED APPROPRIATELY BY MOSTLY SHOWING THE ACTRESS FROM THE WAIST UP AND WITH A MINIMUM OF NUDITY. STILL-WHEN I SAW IT IN THE 70s THERE WAS A DISCLAMOR ON THE TV SCREEN SAYING THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE AN ADULT MOVIE WITH MATURE SUBJECT MATTER. THIS FILM STILL GAVE ME A NERVOUS SHIVVER!..susan swatling

This is a movie about a girl trying to get out of the Hell called home.
Unfortunately, this makes her seen as a criminal to the state. Sending her to a correctional facility with the worst kids her age possible. People who will never(!) get out of system. Another Hell.
Guess who`s the new favorite victim.
Slowly her hopes to get out is picked away, leaving her alone. Except for the other inmates.
Strong scenes of abuse and emotion.
The last sceen is one of the really rare, sweet moments of movies. Complete despair, and possibilities lost.
This is an excellent movie everyone should see. Reminds me a little of Lord of the flies.
 Not bad June 17, 2008

I expected a really poor quality rape exploitation film that I would have to chuck after seeing half of it or less. But instead it was a not bad and interesting story. The rape scene was graphic and disgusting, but it didn't last long and fit the story. Linda Blair was pretty good in it. The movie itself could have been done better, but it's worth watching as it is. Make your own mind up if you want to try it or not.
tour de force June 15, 2008
no fan
I laugh at people who write things like "good for 70s made for television." This movie is better written than the last 10 Best Pictures combined. There are literary novels not as well characterized.
I was not surprised to learn that the person who wrote this movie is one of the highest paid and most sought after screenwriters working today. I was floored, however, to find out that he wrote movies like message in a bottle. Maybe this says something about the indusry.
