Ms 45 Limited Edition Blu-ray

After enduring two brutal assaults in a single day, Thana—a mute seamstress in New York City—snaps. Armed with a .45 calibre pistol, she transforms from silent victim to vengeful executioner, prowling the city at night and targeting men who cross the line.

Directed by Abel Ferrara, Ms .45 is a gritty, confrontational exploitation classic that doubles as a raw feminist revenge thriller. Zoë Lund delivers a haunting, near-wordless performance that gives the film its cold fury and eerie elegance. With seedy Manhattan backdrops, pulsing synths and grindhouse grit, Ferrara crafts a portrait of trauma turned weapon.

Unflinching and provocative, Ms .45 remains a landmark of underground cinema.
