A sinister gas station attendant, recently returned from a tour in Vietnam, begins stalking, raping, and murdering his female customers. And that’s basically the whole movie.
The inaugural release, Shaun Costello’s notorious FORCED ENTRY, is a bold choice. While it’s a historically important adult film, for being one of the earliest hardcore releases pre-DEEP THROAT as well as its extreme violence, it’s unfortunately quite a polarizing film for those same reasons. This is a film that should be seen at least once for fans and scholars of the genre, but it’s doubtful many will bring themselves to revisit it, so the worth of an actual purchase is questionable.
FORCED ENTRY is simply one of the most repulsive, offensive films ever made. And I don’t say this for hyperbole or to incite you to watch it. It truly is. Harry Reems called it the only film he truly regretted making! There is very little entertainment value to be found here, unless you really enjoy watching amateurish sex scenes with gynecological close-ups and lengthy rape scenes followed by the women being gorily dispatched in the nude. FORCED ENTRY is just cheap, lurid trash. Thankfully, it doesn’t aspire to be much of anything else. It’s exploitation, plain and simple. While the film is shoddily written and photographed, it is in the editing department that director Shaun Costello shows some surprising promise, contrasting scenes of Harry Reems running through the streets with newsreel footage of Vietnamese peasants.
When i first saw Forced entry,my wife Tara absulty hated it and still does. "I spit on your grave" is another film that she hates.
Its just exploitation sleeze from the 70's for me though.As a horror fan i had to have it,even if i only watch it once a year ;D
For fans of hardcore horror, this is recommended, and is almost a “must-see” based on its notoriety within the genre. However, for fans of horror-lite I would recommend passing this one by
