Open Season (1974)
10/10
A rare cinematic gem
18 March 2005
This movie is great. I just wish the picture quality was better. I saw this in the theater in 1978 and again on TV in 1985 and the film quality was marginal both times. Technical considerations aside, this movie rocks. Ken, Greg, and Artie take a break from successful suburban lifestyles for some good old American big boy fun. Every year they abduct a couple and take them to their lodge in the north woods for a few days of fun and games. They crack jokes and laugh it continuously they force the male captive to clean their lodge while the girl is used for cooking and sex. An especially compelling scene is when the girl clings to Ken's leg begging and sobbing that "I'll do anything". Ken shakes her off like a leg humping dog. Excellent performances by Peter Fonda (Ken) and John Phillip Law (Greg) I forgot who played Artie but he was pretty good too.
