3.0 out of 5 starsAn average cop movie
By KSArnold on March 5, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie is misrepresented. Maybe in Belgium this qualifies as a rape/revenge movie but not in the states. Sylvia Kristel is in the movie and takes her clothes off some but she is not the star.

In reality a woman gets raped by a group of young men in front of her husband then they bring in the cops. From there the movie is just an average cop drama. The is both male and female frontal nudity but most of the time the characters keep their clothes on. Not much action by today's standard but kind of interesting. More a rental than one to buy unless you can get it cheap.

3.0 out of 5 starsthe best copy I have ever seen
By a movie fan on July 14, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This film has been released under many names. I originally saw it as The Rape Because Of The Cats, and it still has the Because Of The Cats title card. I see that the Amazon reviewers have rated it at every star level, possibly because of their expectations. The film was made in 1973 and needs to be considered in that context. At the time, it had one of most startling rape scenes viewers had seen, and one of the very few in which the victim was (approximately) middle-aged, and taken from behind. I suspect that this print is very slightly toned down from the Euro original, but I'm not sure. It is, by far and away, the best copy I have ever seen, in a crisp anamorphic transfer (vastly superior to the VHS tapes). It was also, at the time of release, criticized for its unorthodox story-telling, although I doubt anyone would say that now. Other reviewers have summarized the plot so I won't recap. Personally, I thought it was weakly acted and forgettable, but it is also a cultural oddity and I'm glad it's been preserved as a quality DVD.
If only a few thousand better movies were treated as well...

3.0 out of 5 starsCheesy and the movie is actually "Because of the Cats"
By Hawk-eye on July 10, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
It's OK ... but there are a few issues. You need to remember the time ... early 70's when this was produced and that makes it easier to watch as far as some of the cinematic issues that jump out at you as kind of cheesy. Lots of nudity for nudity's sake ... violence and rape ... but that was expected. I guess on that I can say I've seen it done better even in the 60's and 70's era movies. When the movie comes on the first thing you notice is the title is not "Brutalization" ... but rather "Because of the cats" and Sylvia Kristel is not the star of the movie but rather a character in the story .... and not really what I would call a main character. The story line probably is easier to understand if you read the original novel but because of the editing it's a bit choppy and doesn't flow very well story line wise.
Watched it on my iPad while on a business trip .... it killed time ... but can't say I'd ever add it to my collection ... glad I rented it instead.

By Not for Kids Critic on September 15, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Sylvia Kristel has little to do with this movie except having the only name someone would recognize. It does start off with an unpleasant but not very graphic home invasion but the rest of the movie is the investigation and I lost interest pretty fast. There is one acid-trip kind of scene with naked women drowning a guy towards the end that seemed to be from another movie.

5.0 out of 5 starsFirst Rate!
By Sam Ninalga on April 27, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It's a shame that One 7 Movies has released this under an alternate title (Original titie is BECAUSE OF THE CATS) and used such a awful cover picture for the DVD because this is a first rate thriller from the early 70's! Drawing inspiration from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and the recent Manson murders, it explores themes of youth gone wild and the rebellion against authority. Very well done with solid acting all around!

3.0 out of 5 starsGritty
By Seeking New Things on March 13, 2015
Format: DVD
This has the one and only Sylvia Kristel, who everyone knows from those classic Emmanuelle films. She graces this interesting and very odd thriller with perfection. What you have is a bunch of rich pricks breaking into houses and brutally raping and making the husband watch while they do it. You have your main inspector Van der Walk who is played by the stunning Bryan Marshall.

Now what makes the inspector stand out is he don't take it. He's angry. He's frustrated. He's horrified at the brutal sadistic crimes that these pricks are doing.

But what starts out as a simple making them pay for their crimes isn't so easy. These monsters have ties to high-ranking individuals in the Dutch society community and so the inspector finds it hard to get the criminals, because the runaround of political reasons and the aspect of big-money.

Soon the inspector realizes that playing by the book to take these monsters, these sadistic rapist, these awful criminal monsters off the street is going to be harder than he thinks. Soon he has to play by no rules.

This is a very simple film yet has that brutal rape aspect to it. After watching this film I don't think it could be made today or be as affective as it is today as it was then. Today it would be chopped up and made glamorized into a Hollywood version that would lose a lot of its disturbing nature at times. This was during a time were films touched on the reality of what life is and of what innocence is and when that life is taken or that innocence is destroyed it truly meant something and was not just a passing news story.

This is a European film that creates a tragedy of violence and ultimately those who seek the true justice to right the wrong.Read more ›
