Savage Weekend (1979)
|
A truly
reprehensible exploitation film, SAVAGE WEEKEND was originally shot in 1976,
but went unreleased until 1981 when Cannon picked it up for distribution
following the success of the slasher-movie cycle. Several couples
go off to a remote country house in upstate New York for the weekend. As the
couples engage in various soft-core sex acts, a masked killer begins stalking
and killing them one by one. While it
can be looked upon as a precursor to the mad-slasher films that would
dominate the horror genre in the 1980s, SAVAGE WEEKEND is a distinctly sleazy
and truly offensive effort. Ultra-low-budget and shot on grainy color
stock, the film is borderline pornography, and the gore effects are extremely
gruesome. Director David Paulsen would surface again with SCHIZOID (1980). |
