Review by Tony the Terror😼🏳️‍🌈 👻 ★★★★½ 17

Linda B out here poppin’ collars and kickin’ asses all over these savage streets!
This was everything I could have wanted and more. Linda seeks revenge on the ugliest gang members of all time after they rape Linnea Quigley and throw the nurse from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter off a bridge! Of allllll the weapons she could have chosen to take care of her business she decides on a crossbow. GIRL.
Not a damn one of these actors look anywhere close to high school age, but you know that’s just what life does to you when the streets are so goddamn savage, right?? And what kind of school lets the students smoke and do group dance moves in leotards…

Regan MacNeil hell bent on revenge after her sister is savagely attacked by a gang of ruthless hoodlums. Curfew. The Scars. Street walkin'. Pussycat theatre. Spanish Fly. The silent sister. Strip search. Girls read Playgirl? Grand Theft Auto. Principal Wormer. Gym class. Dick grab. Cheerleaders. Steamy showers. Locker room chit-chat. Cat fight. Gang bang. House band. Bar brawl. Awesome fuckin' poetry. Sex-ed. Mismatched socks. Free fallin'. The way Jake and Fargo touch each other. Bedside confession. Tits in the tub. Switchblade. Boobie traps. Crossbow. Hit and run. Flesh and arrow. Pursuit. Paint. Flames. Stop, Drop, Roll. Righting a wrong. The soundtrack featuring John fuckin' Farnham is fuckin' 80's orgasmically fantastic. Linda Blair is perfect as the grieving sister turned badass…

Review by Helen ★★★½

Savage Streets is a sleazy, brutal exploitation revenge film with corny, over the top acting just like you’d expect. Luckily Linda Blair CARRIES it, otherwise it would just blend in with the rest.
We truly don’t deserve 80’s Linda Blair and her immaculate coif.
Review by belial_carboni ★★★½ 2

Linda Blair is one deadly woman, dayum girl! Blair plays a teenage vigilante who seeks revege on a violent street gang after they rape her sister and murder her best friend. Armed with a crossbow Blair slowly haunts down each member of the gang in a bloody rampage!
This film reminded me of Class of 1984 as it has lots of disturbing scenes of violence and some truly evil gang members. The main villian was super gross and reminded me of a coked out Matthew Lillard. He had this big freak face which is super punchable. With his stupid razor blade earings.
A super 80s film that had an awesome soundtrack, great settings and memorable characters. I loved the scenes of the girls just walking through the city dressed in pure 80s outfits with a backdrop of neon lights and delicious 80s tunes playing in the background. Great vibes.
Glad I finally checked this out!
Review by Allison M. 🌱 ★★★ 4

Savage Streets was better than I was expecting. I saw it with two male friends who made sure I felt comfortable during the movie and it wasn't too much. There are two really horribly disturbing scenes of violence toward women and then Linda Blair goes crazy against the perpetrators. Overall, strong cast.
The hair/male attitudes were products of their time. However, they had to make the "bad guys" really bad by saying and doing things that would make the audience hate them.
Overall, it was totally exaggerated, but a good watch. It's complete with a 17 year-old girl that is getting married and high school girl shower scenes (nothing for me to see). They have the girls looking at Playgirl…

Review by Evan ★★★½

I can deal with rape-revenge films. I love Ms .45 and like several others, but those are at least fairly logical. The thing that frustrates me about Savage Streets is how, in the last ten minutes, the film flips its power dynamics back to default (ugh) for no reason other than to generate cheap heat for the finale, and, I assume, to make time. Linda Blair straight up murders two punks and tortures a third, but the second he's able to strike back (slamming a chain-link fence door on her), she's suddenly defenseless and completely unable to do anything but whimper and run. There's even a part where she picks up a crowbar, but puts it down so she can go…

When the only daisy in a sea of ananthaceae is violently ripped out along with its root, a war of greenery erupts, not only for flowery revenge but also to fight for supremacy of the meadow.
Review by RanchoTuVu ★★★½

High school vigilantism erupts when a gang known as the Scars rape Linda Blair's deaf sister and later murder her best friend. The way it all starts looks a lot more innocent but this thing develops into a pretty sleazy and violent movie. The high school scenes are kind of unrealistic and borrow from movies like "Carrie" and "Class of 1984", definitely a crossover between Punk and New Wave with cheerleaders, a shower scene, and a girl fight. The gang known as the Scars face off against Linda Blair and her girlfriends in a boys v girls slam-down after they meet on the street one night. It's sleazy and cheap but pace-wise it's pretty good and it manages to get pretty intense.
Review by Ben Hibburd ★★★★

I must say that going into "Savage Streets" I really wasn't expecting too much. However, by the end I was genuinely surprised at how effective this film was. For an exploitative B movie, this film was really well made. "Savage Streets" is a simple revenge story (similar to "Death Wish"). Linda Blair stars as Brenda, a high school student who goes on a quest for vengeance after a delinquent gang rape her deaf sister and murder her best friend.
For such a simple story, the scripts does an excellent job of fleshing out its characters, especially Brenda. Usually in these kind of exploitation films barely any characterisation is given to the cast beyond simplistic stereotypes. Here, the main character has…
Review by Bob McCully ★★★★ 2

Wow. This is an experience!
Wildly offensive and incredibly silly revenge film starring Linda "Puke-Master-Flex" Blair that feels like the younger inbred cousin of Class of 1984, all cartoony 80's ridiculousness but minus the Clockwork Orange heaviness.
I can't emphasize enough how offensive this film is. The sexism is rampant, the word "faggot" is dropped in every scene (even by the bloody principal!), and the nudity and sex jokes will make you think you're watching a bad teen sex comedy.
The story is incredibly mean-spirited but with the camp turned up to 1984 out of 10 it's on another level. Somehow this trashy train wreck of a film is soooooo watchable. Not a single boring scene, you're either laughing or…

Review by Zak 🤙 ★★★½

A year ago when I first started watching B movies of the 80s I would have rated this lower but now here I am wanting to actually watch the other ones I've already seen again like "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989)" and "Nightmare Sisters (1988)" because they've actually stuck with me thanks to how absurd they are and I reckon this one will too.
Review by Jonny Numb ★★

A hodgepodge of "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Ms. 45" (women take vengeance on scumbag men!) and any number of women-in-prison films from the era (shower scenes! gratuitous nudity!), but "Savage Streets" comes off as a jumbled precursor to the following year's "Tuff Turf" (a masterpiece by comparison). I greatly respect the something-to-offend-everybody dialog, and I quite liked John Vernon's take-no-shit performance as - of course - a powerless school principal. I get that this is a seedy exploitation flick, but the scenes that resonated most for me were the moments between Linda Blair and Linnea Quigley (as her deaf sister), and the all-female posse. Perhaps it was due to the uneven ratio of girls to guys, but when…
Review by Braden ★★★

I think this film has some great ideas, but the entire execution is just so sleazy and cheap. I enjoy a good bit of sleeve but since the production quality was so above average it’s hard to peg this as blissful sleaze, similar to teen sex comedy in blissful context. But I’d say the movie is definitely worth a watch just for the blatant absurdity that unfolds on screen. Plus linda Blair kinda bad tho 🥴 but not near as HORRENDOUS horrendous as the audio quality. I watched this on amazon prime and the audio had a constant static/echo and it was atrocious.
Review by Jaden ★★★★

I legit started freaking out when they started playing Nothing’s Gonna Stand in Our Way in the beginning because the nerd in me was like “Wait that was in the 1986 Transformers movie!”.
Anyways yeah, teenage girls don’t wear bras in the 80’s, Linda Blair get revenge on a bunch of rapists and stabs a guy in the dick. What more could I ask for?

A different take on the revenge genre. Plus Linda Blair 😍
Review by Patrick O'Leary ★★★½

Really fun exploitation. There are some brutal scenes that might be triggering, but the rest is goofy and campy and full of fun 80s craziness.
The ending could have been really good with a rewritten last 5 minutes. Kind of takes the steam out of a fun climax. But otherwise there is a lot hear to love if you are into the genre.
Review by Aaron Spears ★★★

Why is this exploitation story forcing a high school setting on us?
Also, 1980’s revenge films really probe some dark corners of white people fears.
Review by Cora James ★½

The first hour of this movie is one big trigger warning full of rape, gang rape, assault and chauvinism. And then Linda Blair decides to exact revenge, but even that falls short because she's crying the entire time and trying to run in heels. Whomever made this hates women (I didn't even bother looking it up because I don't care)

Review by Shane 📼 ★★★★

I'd call this an excellent rape-revenge film but that's selling short its other great qualities. Linda Blair scares me in a good way, I'd never cross her. Linea Quigley plays her deaf sister, who's good nature and inexperience provides the rage when street thugs assault her. Those thugs were perfectly despicable and exceptionally overly played. Lots of high school stuff is thrown in so the audience is kept grounded in knowing that these are still just kids. But Linda Blair is the most badass kid...she would never fuck an iceberg.
