clearly made to cash in on the Death Wish craze, this is nowhere near as violent as the poster would suggest, and the leading man, Ginty, nowhere near as muscle-bound as the character wielding the flame-thrower. entertaining enough for the runtime, but it can be slow in places and also suffers from awkward transitions between scenes that make no sense

Solid revenge exploitation. It's really rather gruesome. A lot more than I expected from the genre.

Exterminate, Exterminate!

How wonderfully tacky and exploitive, The Exterminator rides in on the coat tails of films like Death Wish and has a bloody good time doing so. Plot sees Vietnam veteran John Eastland (Robert Ginty) embark on a crusade of vigilantism when his best buddy is left paralyse More
