I managed to get an uncut copy of this movie back in the eighties just after the UK went barmy and started banning the so called "video nasties". You're right, it is pretty disturbing especially considering it was made in the early seventies and the subject matter was fairly taboo.
It has been re-released in the UK but I've read that it has been cut so I don't know how that has affected the strength of the film.
I have noticed the DVD packaging though and is very misleading to anyone who doesn't know about the film.
So basically if you don't like violence,degradation of women and low budget exploitation then you need to avoid this film.
For information this film was based on a 1950's Swedish production entitled The Virgin Spring set in medievel days and is a very good film,again considering the time it was made.
