Review of Shame

Shame (1988)
5/10
Distinctly average Ozploitation revenge storyline.
13 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Extremely low budget feature that has stereotypical themes of rape revenge (in a typical Australian outback setting) as a barrister arrives via motorcycle in a town that has a problem of lawlessness amongst some inhabitants. Some of a sexual nature that are covered up by other residents of the town, who should frankly know better.

Don't get this Shame mixed up with the far superior 2011 version starring Fassbender and Mulligan.

These other residents include rich parents, a dodgy policeman and scared victims.

It isn't the best Ozploitation film I've watched. Simply watchable fare from 1988 that in a Netflix age of movies on demand is distinctly average.
