This dreary, almost hypnagogic slasher flick was shot on location in Portland, OR in 1981 at the historic Pittock Mansion, and follows three female college students who crash their car in the woods and are taken in by a spinster and her elderly misandrist mother. It was scantly released in the US, but did get a theatrical release in England. It is awful in so many ways, but the performances from the two older women are high camp—almost John Waters-esque. It also features a memorable synth score and a twist ending that is so unexpected and bizarre that you have to see it to believe it. I won't spoil it, but it DEFINITELY could not be made today. Any fans?
I've never seen it but it sounds up my alley. I'll have to check it out
