OPEN SEASON

a.k.a Los Cazadores (Spain); The Recon Game; Jaktoffer (Sweden video title)

UK / SPAIN / USA / SWITZERLAND / ARGENTINA, 1974

Starring Peter Fonda, John Philip Law, Helga Liné, William Holden, Richard Lynch & Cornelia Sharp

Directed by Peter Collinson

VTC (Sweden); Letterboxed; English with swedish subtitles

I really liked this Most Dangerous Game-exploitationer with an international cast and some nices 70s sleaze/terror/revenge-movie touches. The swedish VHS is uncut I believe, but cuts right to trailers after the last scene, which makes for a shorter running time.

DVD: Sandrew Metronome (Sweden); Widescreen; English language (almost)

Extras: Videodagbok, TV4 featurette, Fredzillas bakomfilm, Bortklippta scener, Outtakes/Bloopers, Special effects, Kommentarspår, Trailers

Pathetic swedish try at the teen slasher genre. It's so bad it's... just really, really bad. But I guess it's my patriotic film nerd duty to own a copy of this embaressing dud (found it at a flea-market for 2 dollars, just the right price)... not that i'm much of a patriot anyway, just an idiot for buying this. The line "you should have puked on his dick!" in broken english is classic though. Also see: Blödaren (1983)

Pretty good fullscreen print. Unfortunely it's the short 1h22m version. It's a really nice gothic peplum that deserves a better release.
