Deadly Strangers

Every year I give part of my bizarre stocking-stuffers to Jimmy. This year it was 250 temporary tattoos. Last year it was a million erasers and a Zac Efron pen. I believe the year before that was a bunch of discount horrible 1970s horror movies. Last night we actually watched one.

I picked the one with the most star power- Hayley Mills! It was 1974's Deadly Strangers. The film is all about you (kinda) worrying about our young Hayley as Ms. Belle as she hitches a ride across the British countryside with an excaped mental patient on the loose. All the while we are battered with fantasy sequences from her driver companion, Stephen, about his inability to orgasm and delight in being a peeping tom AND flashbacks of Belle's early childhood and sexual abuse by her uncle. Mmmhmmmmmm. Oh man and then this old scottish fisherman show's up and tries to mack it on Belle. After all of this I don't think it actually ever made a statement on sex or gender or the criminally insane. Everyone was just a pervert.
