Plot – Spoilers:
A hapless woman in a dress runs away from her rapist through the woods with one tit hanging out while crap music plays. The kind of sleazeball movie this isn’t though.

A softcore remake of Forced Entry 1973, this is probably more grim.

Carl, a car mechanic, is able to hold his job together but is unhinged otherwise, constantly lying about his father and remembering him differently every time he talks about him. He struggles with a few basic questions while driving around town like Taxi Driver (which was the same year as this):

All this pretty flesh around. Why can’t they be nice to me. Why do I need to use force to have them. And then they ruin it all by screaming and struggling, and then I can’t even get hard. It’s all their fault.

But not Miss Nancy Ulman. She’s nice. She’s sweet and talked nicely to me. She is a good mommy and we could be great together.

About:
This version is what’s often referred to as the video/VHS version and is longer than the Bluray version. Uncensored and more explicit, there are also other differences.

Here,
Carl’s opening ramblings are complete.
The ending includes people who knew Carl from his younger days, talking about him.
Carl is a little more silent here though, meaning some of his conversational bits are missing.

The two versions also differ in sound and music at times. Even what’s coming off the radio is different and some scenes are just edited differently.

So if you want to see Forced Entry/The Last Victim completely, you’d probably want to watch both versions.
