A sadistic teenager searching for “Daddy” murders and dismembers anybody who picks her up hitch-hiking.

This here is a pure example of a sleazefest. There’s nudity and blood in it in the most gratuitous way. It isn’t for everybody but people who love exploitation, roughies or grindhouse flicks this is a must see.

The story is very simple, Janie (Mary Jane Carpenter) is out to random killing and she’s telling her story to her dad with whom she’s making love with. Yes, incest. She has a kick on killing because after each kill she masturbate. But all killings she has to undress in some way or let friends undress for her. It’s just until the end that you know how far she actually went.

Why is it pure sleaze, the script, the sound made of one track full of acid rock that can irritate some. Further you have bad sound, you can hear the camera, a lot of hiss on sound and sometimes they are too far away from the microphone. There’s no use of extra lighting which shows inside buildings. And of course all the nudity that has nothing to do with the story. Made as a roughie it has in fact nothing to show from underneath, no genitals at all let even say bushes (well, just one second).

But for the geeks there’s a reason to hunt this flick if you can find it. So far as I know it’s OOP and a rare object. Not only that, Michael Findlay do act here. He was the director of the well known Snuff (1976) but became most notorious with his death. Findlay was killed (1977 aged 38) in a helicopter accident on the roof of the (then) Pan Am Building in New York city. On his way to John F Kennedy airport to connect with a Paris-bound flight, Findlay was planning to demonstrate his new 3-D camera to potential backers in France. But there’s also Roberta Findlay in it, Michael’s wife. Both were in front and behind the camera in Janie.

Mary Jane only appeared in 3 flicks all made in 1970. A pure sleazefest…they don’t make ’em like that anymore. The hair, the short skirts, the no-bra women, the white boots, those were the days.
