Barracuda, Pedophiles and Other Perverts Beware

With the unsurprising revelation that Bill Clinton is a pedophile, many elites are trying to downplay the evilness of pedophilia. Not this film. 2013's "Barracuda" is an anthem to those who have been raped as children...perhaps a fantasy tale of a world where perverts get what they deserve. 2013's "Barracuda" may draw comparisons to "I Spit on Your Grave," and those would be fair ones. Directed by Christy Oldham and Shane Woodson... "Barracuda" is a film in which the Bill Clintons of the world will not fare well.
Summer (Oldham) is a phone sex operator who lives on a houseboat in Venice. She fulfills the fantasies of perverts all across America. She realizes, through her callers' role-playing, that she is often talking to pedophiles. She begins compiling a notebook and becomes jaded to believe all men are scoundrels and perverts. Now she is armed with the addresses of perverts and pedophiles...but what will she do with it? After her best friend's husband (Will Beinbrink) sneaks into her drawers and tries on and sniffs her underwear, Summer goes on the warpath. She'll ruin her best friend's marriage with a surveillance video and hop in her Plymouth Barracuda.
Summer begins a road trip showing up at the doorsteps of many of her pervert customers. She'll have tape recordings in hand and eagerly chat with the pervert's family members. This leads to many divorces and even a castration. After hanging the testicles of one of her clients on her rear view, the game will get bloodier. A death makes her a wanted woman. Not deterred by warrants, she still has perverts to visit including an Elvis wannabe...and her pedophile stepdad. Uh oh...a man? Yep, the non perverted Harrison (Kaden Graves) just may emerge as a love interest through this carnage tour.
Does Summer's bloody warpath make her as bad as the perverts she's ruining? No!!!  Does Summer have any special plans for the stepfather that molested her? Will the seemingly sweet Harrison hold true or will he be put on Summer's castration list? Ms. Oldham is terrific as a 'Dirty Harriett' type avenger slaying the disgusting among us. For some gratuitous fun about a bikini clad phone-sex operator, driving an old Plymouth, with justice in mind, see "Barracuda."
