The Last House on the Beach (Italian: La settima donna, also known as Terror and The Seventh Woman) is a 1978 Italian rape and revenge-thriller film directed by Franco Prosperi.
The American title refers to Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left, and Alexandra Heller-Nicholas noticed how "combining the nunsploitation subgenre with rape-revenge, the film deviates plot-wise from The Last House on the Left substantially, but arrives at a similar ethical conclusion".
It was argued that the final scene of the movie inspired the final scene in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.

Synopsis
Après le braquage sanglant d'une banque, trois malfrats, menés par Aldo, s'enfuient en voiture pour trouver rapidement une planque avant la mise en place de barrages de police. Lorsque le véhicule tombe en panne, ils sont contraints de se réfugier dans une villa en bord de mer qu'ils pensent vide. Mais elle est occupée par une nonne, sœur Christina, ses cinq élèves en pleine répétition de la pièce de théâtre Le Songe d'une nuit d'été de William Shakespeare et une femme de ménage. En attendant l'arrivée du bus scolaire censé récupérer les filles, qu'ils veulent voler pour continuer leur fuite, les trois braqueurs se livrent aux pires exactions envers leurs otages. Après avoir tué la bonne à coups de fer à repasser, ils violent la nonne et certaines élèves avant d'en abattre une. Assoiffées de vengeance, sœur Christina et les autres victimes se vengent d'eux en les assassinant un par un.Actors

Howard Thorne is a rapist in Los Angeles: he meets women at work and at parties or he sees them walking down the street, and he follows them, terrifies them, and assaults them. He also dreams about these assaults, and he's unclear how much of what he's done is real and how much is fantasy. He ignores his heroin-using wife, Vicki, who tries everything she can think of to get his sexual attention. Howard and Vicki go separately to a costume party where she learns the full truth about his nature and where he is stalked by one of his recent victims. Individualized versions of Hell await Howard and Vicki.
