THE CREEPER(AKA: RITUALS)(1977)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
Kind of has the feel of "Deliverence" but not as
creepy! In this case it appears that a man who's
had a bad run-in with doctors is taking it out on
some doctors who are on a camping trip! C-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This is a powerful,surreal and frightening film.
Like Deliverance, It's mostly about the very thin
veneer of civilization. Shot in a cinema verite
style, the brutality and horror seems almost
documentary like, unlike Deliverance where there
are practically signposts saying "meaning" per
24 frames, this film allows the horror and absurdity
of itself unfold itself slyly around the edge of
the frame.( consider the brilliant satire of
having the surgeons chant "take him apart! take
him apart!" as they dance around the campfire.
And the eerie shot of the forest dwelling killer
standing on top of the hill, a shadow against
the sun.) Wheras Deliverance was all about
northern white guilt, the doctors in this film
have something to be guilty about. I think
"Deliverance" is great but this film reveals
it's limitations, it's lack of guts, and it's
prettifying of nature. Ultimately this is
a superior film. - acky
