    NICELY CREEPY LOUISIANA-SET HORROR-ADVENTURE ALLEGORY.
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2020*

This is a review of the 2019 Region B2 Blu-ray from Second Sight Films. Regarding comments in other reviews about the quality of this disc, we found the picture good but not as sharp as one might expect on Blu-ray, and the sound OK but not brilliant. This is not a cheap product, so one might expect better.Walter Hill is a California-born screen-writer, director and producer with a long list of films to his credit, largely high-octane Westerns and action movies, such as ‘The Long Riders’(1980) and ‘Extreme Prejudice’(1987). With David Giler, he founded Brandywine Productions, which bought the option on ‘Alien’(1979); Hill and Giler were heavily involved in the screenplays and production of the first 4 Alien films. In 1981, they asked writer Michael Kane to produce a 1st draft of a ‘survival story’ that would be cheap to make, which they then re-wrote; Giler produced, and Hill directed. They chose to make it in Louisiana, which Hill was familiar with.‘Southern Comfort’ (the title was used under an agreement with the drinks manufacturer) is, like the earlier and more famous John Boorman film ‘Deliverance’, a horror-adventure set in the backwoods of rural America. Both are predicated on the collision of urban Americans (ostensibly civilised) arriving in unfamiliar and hostile terrain, with rural back-woodsmen. In fact, this film is an unmistakable allegory relating to the US military’s disastrous mismatch of a war in South East Asia. The film pits a group of 9 Louisiana National Guardsmen, out in the Bayou on exercise, against a shadowy group of local Cajun hunters. For Cajuns, read the Vietcong, shadowy resistance fighters in the jungles and villages of Vietnam.The movie was filmed during December around Caddo Lake, a vast area of wetland on the Texas-Louisiana border. It produces one of the most miserably monochrome vistas of any film I can recall. The characters spend their entire time wet and muddy, and half of it walking or wading in murky water. It must have been a beast to film, for both the actors and the crew.The sheer brutal physicality of the landscape sets the scene admirably for the action. The choreography ~ now you see it, now you don’t ~ is excellent. The suspense is fed by superbly atmospheric music from the musician and songwriter Ry Cooder. And the ensemble cast, many then unknown, enter into the spirit of the action with gusto. Only Keith Carradine was previously well-known, in ‘Nashville’(1975) and ‘The Long Riders’. He and Powers Boothe (who had a distinguished film and TV career, particularly in series such as ‘Deadwood’, ’24’ and ‘Nashville’) are good.This is a nicely creepy film, with a chilly, disturbing feel. It should be watched with a large mug of Hot Chocolate to hand!

    Classic film from 80s
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2019*

Good to see this 80s classic on Prime. Vintage Ry Cooder of course on slide guitar providing atmospheric soundtrack with some kick up cajun courtesy of Dewey Balfa.  Sensitive animal lovers beware graphic close up live shots of hogs being slaughtered on screen about 15-20 mins towards the end. Otherwise gripping ‘deliverance’ feel film of Louisiana Army National Guard squad having a FUBAR time with a few of the locals they p*ssed off.

    his finest hour. Far superior to the often compared Deliverance
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2016*

Walter Hill has been responsible for some sublime movie-making such as 48 Hours, The Warriors, the cruelly ignored Crossroads, and this...his finest hour. Far superior to the often compared Deliverance, Powers Booth and Keith Carradine turn in sterling performances as National Guardsmen lost in deep Louisiana trying to fight their way to safety from local backwoodsmen.The Ry Cooder soundtrack simply adds to the menace as the squadron are picked off one by one in the unforgiving Southern swamps. A masterpiece which has stood the test of time, as suspenseful as the first time I saw it 35 years ago. See it, just see it.
