Southern Comfort

Curious cross between Deliverance (which came out nine years earlier) and Predator (which came out a lot later) has National Guardsmen on a boring weekend exercise in a Louisiana bayou, only to find themselves under attack from local redneck Cajuns, all due to the troop's own stupidity. The dysfunctional group dynamic is far more compelling than the traps the group will face en route to death or freedom (and there's a lot of the former), with a solid cast of notable faces that eventually add as many corpses to the body count as their attackers. Very intriguing film.

The cinematography is excellent. The desolate swamps are beautifully captured on film, with nice camera angles. You immediately feel that the soldiers are in a big disadvantage not knowing the environment (while the Cajuns do). Then there's the superb soundtrack by Ry Cooder. It sets the right mood. I won't spend many further words on the story, 'cause you all know the drill. They go down one by one, and it's just a matter of who will survive. And I loved the feeling I got when two survivors got rescued by that truck. You just know that it's not gonna end there. It was also great fun seeing Brion James as a French speaking swamp-redneck.There's not much gore in it, but at some point we do get to see some real living pigs being shot in the head and their throats slit (and their guts being spilled afterwards). So beware, the more fragile viewers amongst you (but then they probably won't see a survival-movie to begin with). And then there's the ending… It's very abrupt and I think you can interpret it in two ways, because the movie doesn't go on long enough to know for sure. I'm betting, based on the rather dramatic undertone that the final slow-motion shots were carrying, that it's not a happy end at all. Anyway, enough said, this is a must-see when it comes to survival-movies.
