Lipstick (1976) was made during an era that saw thrillers like Duel, Badham County, Hardcore, The Dirty Harry series and politically incorrect teen movies like Animal House. The scripts and characterisations had to be good because this was pre special effects, they actually shot films outdoors in real life settings, not just studio caverns.
For a 70’s rape and revenge thriller this one works more as a gritty drama. The film plays fairly realistic most of the time and the assault sequence itself is very brutal and executed very effectively. The cast is a bit of a mixed bag. Chris Sarandon is very good in his sinister and devilishly charming part of the serial rapist.

The revelation of Lipstick is another Hemingway, first name Mariel, Margaux's 14-year-old sister, who plays her sister in the film. As the chief witness to the events within the movie, and its ultimate victim, she gives an immensely moving, utterly unaffected performance that shows up everything else as a calculated swindle.
