A Gun for Jennifer is a 1997 rape and revenge film directed by Todd Morris and starring Deborah Twiss. It follows a feminist vigilante group who castrate suspected rapists and batterers while a female police officer attempts to stop them.[1] It is shot in a retro grindhouse style and premiered at the Fantasia Festival in July 1997,[2] where it was sold-out an hour before screening and received a standing ovation. The film has not left the festival circuit; Fangoria reported that it had been picked up for distribution by Mondo Macabro, but the release never came to fruition.[3]

The movie was covered in the documentary In the Belly of the Beast,[4] which detailed Morris and Twiss's discovery that their financier (whom Twiss had met while working as an exotic dancer)[5] had been embezzling money.[6][7]
