A Gun for Jennifer is a 1997 rape and revenge film thriller film directed by Todd Morris and starring Deborah Twiss. It follows a feminist vigilante group who castrate suspected rapists and batterers while a female police officer attempts to stop them. [1] It is shot in a retro grindhouse style and premiered at the Fantasia Festival in July 1997, [2] where it was sold-out an hour before screening and received a standing ovation.
The film went unreleased for years; Fangoria reported that it had been picked up for distribution by Mondo Macabro, but the release never came to fruition. [3] Finally, in November 2023 it was released on Blu-Ray by Vinegar Syndrome. [4]
The movie was covered in the documentary In the Belly of the Beast, [5] which detailed Morris and Twiss's discovery that their financier (whom Twiss had met while working as an exotic dancer) [6] had been embezzling money. [7] [8]
