Description:
A surly waitress and an introverted pastry cook meet at the restaurant where they both work. The waitress persuades the man to provide her a trip home. In the torrential rain, they inadvertently run over a female hitch hiker. The waitress finds that the sight of bloodstream on the dead girl’s human body turns the girl on and she makes violent love to the guy. Having discovered that bloodshed and death are their mutual aphrodisiacs, the pair embark on a rampage of murder and mutilation. Soon the violence escalates until information technology appears that absolutely nothing can stop them.
There’s nothing truly comical or fun about ASSAULT! (except for the strange disco soundtrack…). It appears that the main goal of the film is to disgust and shock, which it does properly enough – especially for it’s 1976 time-stamp. Although the crotch-gouging is not “graphically” shown, the sound FX and inference of what’s going on is enough to be disturbing. This is a rare film as it predates loads of more sadistic films that became notorious throughout the late 70’s through these days. Again, not a film for all preferences, but for those that are searching for one thing a little “rougher”…this may be the one. 9/10

When I tried watching this film, it appeared to be fast forward, and not complete. I also tried converting it to DVD and experienced the same problem.
