GATOR BAIT

6/13/2011 | No comment

title: GATOR BAIT
year: 1974
cast: Claudia Jennings
rating: ***

There are revenge flicks where the protagonist seeks revenge on the villain or villains. These are the most common. Then there are those reverse-revenge flicks where the villain seeks revenge on the protagonist. This film serves up both, hot not cold, as a Cajun Fox played by b-movie vixen Claudia Jennings gets falsely accused for murdering a man attempting to rape her, and his family, and the local cops, take to the swamp to find and kill her.

Along the way they kill her younger sister, cult starlet Janit Baldiwn, and now it's Claudia's turn for vengeance. She leads them further into the swamps, where she has the upper hand, and hunts 'em one by one. It's that basic, folks. And believe it or not, some of the acting isn't horrible. The camera moves around nicely and gets you involved with the action. And there's Claudia Jennings wearing close to nothing. Need I write more?
