During their time with the criminals the girls are assaulted both sexually and physically before being put into their car.
However, the car breaks down not far from one of the girls houses. The girls are taken into the woods and undergo more abuse, until one of the girls try to escape. While the three lead criminals try to escape, the son is left with the girl who's house is nearby. She spends her time trying to convince him to let her leave, however by the time she has convinced him his father is back. She try's to escape and runs to the lake, where she is shot, faced down in the water.
As night falls, the criminals clean themselves up before going to the girls house. They explain to her parents how their car has broken down and ask to seek hostage in their house for the night until they can get a repair vehicle out to help them.
while they are in the guest room, the mother overhears them all talking about the girls and how they have killed them.
Mari's mother explains the situation to her father and they find her body barely alive. Being a doctor, her father helps her, before the parents set up a revenge scheme against the murderers. Throughout the course of the night the parents fight, and kill the attackers, getting revenge for their daughter and her friend.
There are two versions of this film a 1972 version and a 2009 version. Both films show different aspects of the film.
For example, the more modern film has more modern technologies and therefore the ways of killing the attackers are more gruesome. For example, the leader of the group is tied down with his head in a microwave until it eventually explodes.
The 1972 film was rejected by the BBFC originally and released without classification, which was eventually confiscated by police, before gaining an 18 classification in 2002 when cuts had been made.
The 2009 version was given an 18 classification when released.
Overall, I think the 2009 version is much worse than the 1972 version and shows worse, more graphic images which should cause more controversy than the original film did, however this was not the case.
Watching these films and investigating their backgrounds has taught me different ways in which the BBFC make decisions and why they ban films or classify them an 18.
