Angel Guts: High School Co-ed (1978)

Decided to check out some of the "Angel Guts" series lately and I can't say I'm all that impressed with this first installment. While it seemed pretty original and contained some notably harsh scenes of sexual violence, it was just too convoluted to really get "into" for me.

A gang of dirt bike street hoods with some kind of ties with the Yakuza get their kicks by attacking and brutally raping young women. When they start taking an interest in abducting a school girl, one of the thugs starts worrying about his own little school girl sister - who is oblivious to his sadistic lifestyle - and her possibly getting mixed up with his crew of perverted psycho friends...

There's several standout rape scenes - the train yard scene being especially grim - but there's quite a bit of this movie that drags. Can't say that I totally didn't like this premier entry in the "Angel Guts" Roman porno series, but it could've been tightened up a little in spots where it gets preeminently muddled. For the most part, however, it's well shot and has it's strong points of school girl abuse. Mildly recommended.
