Overview: When a young woman is brutally attacked, she seeks the aid of her own flesh and blood, but her Father has other plans for her - a bullet to her head.

Now she lives, lives for vengeance. You can't keep a good woman down!

Blu-ray Verdict: Having survived the attempted “honor killing,” she hires a rugged bounty hunter named Viktor to train her to inflict pain.

Thus, she begins her journey to find her Father, and leaves a trail of savage men along the way. The film is written, directed and starring “Mercedes” (Evul Twinz, My Night Job) and is the second team up of the actress and actor Jim Schumacher following the film 'Rose and Viktor: No Mercy.'

For all intents and purposes, 'Honor Killing' is an exploitation film of the highest order and is held together in fine style by actress, director, and fetish model Mercedes.

Personally, I had already viewed (all be it a few years back now) her aforementioned other work 'Rose and Viktor,' and so I kinda knew going in what to expect from this one.

'Honor Killings' innate premise is about a young woman -- who has a love for learning but her strictly religious father does not want her to educate herself -- who on her way home from the library one day is raped and left for dead.

Of course, as one would fully imagine, her rape brings great shame to her family so her father takes her outside in the vast gardens of the house they own to kill her!

She survives, but loses an eye. Soon thereafter, her father leaves the surroundings in shame of what has happened to his daughter, but not for what he has done, and goes to stay with his brother.

But with Mercedes still very much alive, he passion for revenge is now boiling over and so now adorned with an old eye patch, she is propelled into a ruthless quest to find him and kill him (and any other evil-doing-men along the way, of course).

Overall, the acting is a little bumpy, but for the most part lands on its feet for all the major characters. Mercedes herself also takes the directing reins and does both sides of the camera very well.

In truth, some of the middling scenes are less than enthusiastic or eye-catching for the viewer, but the majority are rather brilliant and always well shot.

The supporting cast is solid too with some delivering some rather fun lines, spread in-between all the bloodshed and angst! Oh, and we also get to see (from 'Rose and Viktor') Jim Schumacher returning as Viktor; in a fun, all be it short-lived cameo.

In closing, 'Honor Killing' has some pretty bloody and fun kills, but nothing that ranks high in the pantheon of such things. Their use of visual effects are evident, but not over used, with most incorporated as practical effects.

Overall, 'Honor Killing' is worth its weight in gold to watch today, and now here on Blu-ray is a true viewers catnip for us collector's of such cinematic gems. This one is highly recommended. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
