Death Game1977
“The object is to stay alive.”
Directed by Peter S. Traynor
The premise
George Manning is a well-to-do businessman, husband, and father. While his family is away on his birthday, he invites a pair of rain-soaked young women into his house to wait out an evening thunderstorm. The two girls seduce Manning and ultimately kidnap and torture him in his own home.
Horror Vault's take
A prosperous family man finds his birthday night alone taking a sinister turn when he takes pity on two young women caught in a storm — a decision that rapidly spirals beyond anything he could have anticipated. What begins as a chance encounter in the comfort of his own home transforms into a sustained, suffocating nightmare of manipulation and cruelty. Director Peter Traynor crafts a grimy, provocative thriller that strips away the illusions of middle-class safety and masculine control. Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp deliver unnerving, feral performances as the agents of chaos who refuse to leave.
