been watching walter hill films, the driver and southern comfort.
walter hilll done the warriors, his whole thing is about hunting, almost all his movies are hunting films .
southern comfort is a total masterpiece, an allegory about vietnam or any film where a powerful state invades a smaller state who know the territory, the overconfidence and the incompetence of the war machine.
it's one of those 'local' films like wicker man or straw dogs, except you dont get the corniness, it's genuinely scary too, not knowing what's going on around the corner all the while, knowing that the goodies are the baddies and they're not bright and they're going to get killed horribly, its in tune with the whole revenge film culture that sprang up in the early 80's and got caught up in video nasties etc.
