Extremities (1986)
Directed by Robert M. Young
A woman escapes from the man who is about to rape her, but leaves her purse behind. Afraid that her attacker might come after her, she goes to the police, but with no proof of the incident, they can do nothing. In fact, the man does use the information in her bag and comes to her apartment with the intent of rape, but she sprays him in the face with insect repellent, and then holds him captive. She is then faced with deciding whether to go to the police who might not believe her and release him, or to kill him.

What critics compared Extremities to
And when it comes to female vengeance films, “Kill Bill,” “Hard Candy,” “Extremities” and — one of my all-time favorites — “Serial Mom” and their so-called heroines Uma Thurman, Ellen Page, Farrah Fawcett and Kathleen Turner did it much better with more believability.
