Ms. 45 - Limited Edition [4K UHD]

"It will never happen again."

From Abel Ferrara, the director of The Driller Killer and King of New York, comes one of the most provocative revenge thrillers of the 1980s. A chilling blend of Death Wish and Taxi Driver, Ms. 45 (also known as Angel of Vengeance) delivers a relentless portrait of trauma, violence, and female rage set against the gritty backdrop of pre-Giuliani New York City.

In 1980s Manhattan, mute seamstress Thana (Zoë Lund) is assaulted twice in one day — first on the street, then again in her own apartment. After killing her second attacker in self-defense, she begins to unravel, dismembering the body and ultimately turning her trauma into fury. Armed with a .45 pistol and a new sense of power, Thana begins a vigilante spree through the city, targeting men who pose a threat.

Now available for the first time in 4K Ultra HD, Ms. 45 returns with all its controversial impact intact, anchored by a mesmerizing performance from Zoë Lund and newly restored to highlight the grimy glamour of 1980s New York.
