BIZARRE, YET STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

I saw this film on video when it was picked up by Something Weird Video and distributed as LOVE HUNGER. Back in the 60's there was a popular sub-genre of film, called the `Swamp Movie,' another good example is Jack Weis's `Crypt of Dark Secrets.' LOVE HUNGER concerns a group of runaway crooks who shack up at an old man's cabin in the swamp, where the leader of the gang sneaks away each night to watch the daughter of a local bath. Soon the leader, Joe, and the daughter, Mara, fall in love and have to combat Joe's comrades who want their share of the loot and Mara with it. A pretty in depth love story, and lots of action and snappy dialogue to carry it along. Worth a look.
