233. 'Gator Bait (1974)

May 18, 2014

Starring the beautiful Claudia Jennings (Unholy Rollers) who tragically passed away at the far too young age of 29, 'Gator Bait was a lot of fun. It was the kind of movie that shouldn't have been good but was actually really entertaining. Jennings played a young woman living in the Louisiana swamps, where she hunted gators and snakes and took care of her little brother and sister. When one of the local deputies and his buddy went out to the swamp to try to rape her, she threw a bag of snakes at them and the deputy accidentally shot his buddy. Of course, he blamed it on Jennings, which started a swamp-wide manhunt with the Sheriff, his son the Deputy, and the father and two brothers of the guy who got shot. Outsmarted by Jennings at every turn, they eventually found her cabin and took the brother and sister hostage. Things went south, as they do, and the sister ended up getting murdered while they were trying to rape her. The brother got away (they weren't as worried about him since he didn't have a tongue and couldn't tell anyone anything), and when Jennings found out about what they did to her sister she didn't feel so bad about killing the rest of the rednecks that were chasing her. It was a pretty awesome movie.
