Quiz
The film was re-released in the U.S. in 1980 under the title "Satan's Playthings", with an ad campaign that made it appear that the movie was about three sexy women who worked for the devil. Roger Ebert blew the movie's cover on his Sneak Previews show when he picked the film as his Dog of the Week and told the audience that the film was really the 1971 British slasher flick "Assault".

Blooper
When Susan (a light haired girl) is being killed and "her" shirt is being ripped off, you can clearly see it's the same bra that Tessa was wearing when she was being raped. The girl that was being killed in that scene was a dark haired girl, making it clear that the same scene was used when Susan was killed and Tessa was raped.

Citazioni
Leslie Sanford: It is strictly forbidden to use the shortcut!

Versioni alternative
For the U.S. release, the film was edited to avoid an "X" rating. In the early 1990s, the uncensored version was given an "NC-17" rating by the MPAA, but was never officially released in the U.S., save for its availability on VSoM.

7/10

Good period chiller reminds me of the forgotten "I start counting".

The film is typical of its time, with the lighting, camera work and fashion giving a clear indication of 1969 to 1971 British cinema.

It is not scary, but there is reasonable suspense and enjoyment.

My main reason for commenting is has anyone else noticed the very strong similarities with the brilliant (but sadly never shown) "I start counting"?

There is the same fashion, the similar colour technique which is surprising given this is Eastman and "I start" is De Luxe, an emphasis on short skirts, an unknown serial assailant who is revealed at the end but throughout most of the film the viewers attention is diverted to other suspects. There is also the woods where the events take place; the atmosphere in the woodland scenes is very similar. Finally, there is a young and good looking central character in both, Lesley-Anne Down and Jenny Agutter

Watch the film if you enjoy late 60's, early 70's Britain and a bit of suspense.
