Put On Your Raincoats | Wet Wilderness (Cooper, 1975)

What's scarier? A murderous maniac in the middle of the woods, or your annoying coworker on Casual Friday? By dressing its villain in a ski mask, a polo and five-pocket pants, this movie poses the question, what if they were the same person?!? As you can probably guess by now, despite running through such transgressions as rape, incest, racism and murder, this isn't a terribly frightening affair. Some of that is, as I alluded, due to the appearance of the villain. Some of this is due to the slapdash filmmaking involved. When the villain finally kills one of his victims, he rubs his prop machete on her with all the firmness of putting out a cigarette. Later, another murder victim is seen clearly breathing. And a frantic chase scene appears to have been shot against a black backdrop with leaves being patted on the actors' faces in lieu of any actual running. (It goes without saying that the camera setups are crude and lack variety.)

And some of this, and this is where my garbage viewing habits become painfully evident, is the lack of forcefulness in executing this scenario. This is ostensibly a roughie, and you could argue that the machete the villain threateningly wields is enough to scare the other characters into submission. But when tablecloths are laid out on the ground before any of the sex scenes, it greatly undermines the supposed surprise of any of the proceedings. And when a character leisurely jogs away in plain sight to escape from the killer, it greatly undermines any sense of danger he might possess, especially when she does it multiple times.

If there's something provocative about the movie, it's in furthering the roughie's sense of audience complicity. The average roughie is designed to get the viewer off on sexual assault, inviting us to identify not with the victims, but with the perpetrators, with evil instead of good. This arguably goes a step further, in that the villain doesn't just rape his victims himself, he forces them to have sex with each other under the threat of death, ordering them through scenarios coloured by incest (most of his victims are family members) and later racism (he forces one of them to have sex with another victim, a black man, while making demeaning remarks about the man's race), blurring the lines between the viewer, star and director. It might seem silly given all that transpires, but admit I was a little bothered when he dropped a racial slur, as it dispelled a little the overall goofiness of the affair. Geez, I wish these murdering rapists weren't so racist.

The proceedings lack any of the charge a better executed roughie might have, the movie's incompetence, Southern accent of the villain and relaxed energy of the sex scenes greatly diffusing some of its more noxious qualities. Although the rape scenes not being mean spirited enough probably makes this an easier, or at least funnier, watch than most roughies, and I thought the daughter playing the actress was pretty cute, so the movie is not without its charms. I will say, if you wanted to take this to the movie mechanics and "fix" this, there's just one thing you have to do. You don't need better acting or better production values, although those would help. All you gotta do is add at least one more maniac. (And maybe send them to diversity training. Okay, that's two things. Geez, I wish these murdering rapists weren't so racist.) When you have all these scenes where one maniac is barking orders at the family to bump uglies and what have you, it's hard for him to keep an eye on more than one at a time and make sure nobody tries to get away. But when you add another maniac, it's like having a spotter at the gym. He or she has your back. And who knows, if you add a few more, the maniacs could tag-team their victims, maybe even go for one great big gang bang. With multiple maniacs, the possibilities are endless.
