In "Shocking Cinema of the Seventies", author Xavier Mendik writes that "blonde Sally survives, and she's still intact. Bruised and cut, but still intact. Her hair is matted and dirty now, her tight vest is torn, her hip-hugging jeans no so white, but she's still alive. Whether this is a good thing, she does not yet know. For now, tied up, face to face with maniacs she thought she'd never see again (Hitchhiker: "I thought you was in a hurry?!"), it is all too much. Her eyes go wide before she blacks out. And then she wakes, from one nightmare into another".
