Plot:
A meek and mild woman called Bella moves into a flat in Brighton and finds herself being harassed by a male neighbor. Having committed a violent act against the neighbor, she is transformed into a murderous femme fatale who embarks on a mission of revenge against other mean and nasty men. Much like his earlier DEATH WISH films, director Michael Winner's film DIRTY WEEKEND focuses on the story of a person who goes on a violent mission of vengeance against those who they have been wronged by. Banned in the UK for two years, DIRTY WEEKEND is a violent and menacing film that features a strong performance from Lia Williams as Bella, who has been repeatedly threatened by a number of men and opts to dispense some violent retribution.
