Self Defense a.k.a. Siege (1983) Kinda amusing how the poster for this tries to paint it as some Death Wish wannabe when the actual movie is about people coming under attack from a right wing hate group after a gay man fleeing a massacre seeks shelter there. A seedy little Canucksploitation action / siege horror hybrid -- it’d make a solid double feature with Assault on Precinct 13 -- with one of the ballsier final shots I can remember. Wouldn’t be surprised if the makers of The Purge movies were fans. It’s on Shudder and on blu-ray from Severin under the title Siege.
