Trapped

In 1982 in South Africa we purchased the distribution rights for the above mentioned movie...on...video. A racy, fast moving thriller advanced for its time and great entertainment.This movie in South Africa on video was a smash hits and still continues to be requested by movie viewers here. A hill billy plot with an ending that leaves the viewers breathless is and was great entertainment. The picture did go down very well with the South African movie public,notwithstanding that we had extremely harsh censorship laws governing us. A lot of thanks to Henry Silver and Nicholas Campble. I would certainly like to be able to market this movie once again in South Africa.

Trapped, aka Baker County, USA, is a Canadian movie filmed in Georgia and set in Tennessee. Four college students are taking a break camping and hiking in the mountains when they come across a man being chased by a bunch of unfriendly rednecks. The guy slept with the wife of Henry Chatwill (well played by Henry Silva), a frightening psychopath who heads a small backwoods community. Henry kills the guy, the students witness it but when they try to report it to the Sheriff they then become Henry's next targets. This thriller/action horror is no Deliverance but it does fit nicely into the backwoods revenge genre, which also includes the likes of Southern Comfort, Last House on the Left, Hunter's Blood, etc. The acting is generally good, the scenery is nice. There is plenty of action, brutal violence and a smattering of female nudity, this movie never drags. I enjoyed it, even if it was on a grainy old VHS, I'd certainly watch it again.

The film stars Henry Silva as a country bumpkin who catches the power repairman having sex with his wife. He kills him, as a bunch of college kids (headed by Nicholas Campbell) witness to the killing. Campbell doesn't believe in violence, but finally realize he must battle Silva with a chainsaw. Fruet is Roger Corman of Canada give the same slick style of directing as he did in HOUSE BY THE LAKE. The films photography is dark, and the script pace is very slow. It's worth a look for those who like to see Canadian tax shelter films.

Four college students looking for a cave, stray into a Tennessee hollow inhabited by sadistic Henry Silva, and his backwoods clan. After witnessing a murder, the four are relentlessly hunted in the woods. The fact that the local sheriff is kinfolk, makes the situation even more desperate. Silva provides a strong presence as the villain controlling a nice assortment of barefoot babes, and hairy knuckle types. The film features sharp editing, creative photography, and appropriate twangy music. With the outcome always in doubt, interest is maintained throughout. Along with "Hunter's Blood", "Trapped" is a "Deliverance" clone that comes highly recommended. - MERK

This is a brutal movie about backwoods hillpeople who live according to their own laws. Their leader, Henry Silva at his unpleasant and sadistic best, takes the law in his own hands and lead a mob to hunt down his wife´s lover. Violent complications follow. The story is unoriginal but captivating and Fruet´s no holds barred directing keep a good pace throughout the entire movie. The dialogue is good and amusing. There is nudity, banjo music, humiliation, plenty of man hunt scenes and bloody violence. Highly recommended viewing for fans of Deliverance and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

"Trapped" is a fairly obscure rural revenge thriller in the almost same vein as William Fruet's earlier classic "Death Weekend".It was penned by the late John Beaird,whose only other screen writing credits were slasher films "My Bloody Valentine" and "Happy Birthday to Me".A group of college students accidentally witness a group of local rednecks killing another hillbilly.A deadly game of cat-and-mouse ensues,with the students trying to escape the area while the killer played by Henry Silva sets out to eliminate the witnesses who can tie him to the murder.Sleazy Canadian canuxploitation flick with enough nudity and violence to satisfy any self-respecting exploitation enthusiast.Recommended for fans of "Southern Comfort","Deliverance" or "Hunter's Blood".

I saw this for the first time recently. While comparisons with Deliverance, Southern Comfort, Rituals, etc r inevitable due to this film being about mountainous/rural fellas hunting city folks, this one holds the attention, moves at a steady pace n offers sufficient tension n mayhem. It has some lovely * n serene n secluded settings. We get to c Gina Dick's *, Danone Camden's * n the * of the busty babe from the opening scene. The best part is obviously Silva's character who has problems with his attractive n adulterous wife, but yet, he enjoys having sex with a busty young lady in a forest and that too near a river. Can someone pls tell me the name of that busty babe and the names of the movies she did. Dont miss Henry Silva in his rarest performance which will be remembered as one of the best villain from the backwoods hunting Nicholas Campbell n his friends. The hot tar thing does get insanely hilarious.
