DEATH GAME (1977). Decent albeit nasty film that has elements I'm sure inspired parts of FATAL ATTRACTION (1987) and THE STRANGERS (2008). Seymour Cassel plays a content family man left alone on his birthday who hears a knock on the door and finds two lost Young women out in the rain. He invites them in to dry off and one thing leads to another with some steamy action! Problems arise the next day, as for reasons that become clear, His two Houseguests just aren't ready to leave yet...
Many trials/tribulations kept this in limbo for a couple of years (saw Sissy Spacek and Bill Paxton names in the production credits) and not a big success. Thought it was decent with good performances by SC and the two women, played by Sondra Locke (a couple of years before the Clint Eastwood films) and adorable Colleen Camp (always have liked her spots in many films like POLICE ACADEMY 2, THE VAGRANT, WAYNES WORLD ), even if they are both crazy as Shithouse rats! My copy wasn't the best and a little too much noise (scraping/yelling/laughing), but worth a look and another film showing what happens when You let the little head do the thinking for the big head! ***
