The Suckers (1972)

The Suckers is another riff on The Most Dangerous Game, this time a West Coast sexploitation take. The actual hunt only takes up the final twenty minutes of the seventy-minute running length, with the first two-thirds of the film being sex scenes between the attractive females and the homely men (who must have invested money in the project). Sleaze veteran Steve Vincent (star of the camp classics Space-Thing and Thar She Blows) offers the most entertainment value, giving an eye-rolling and stoic rendition of the General Zaroff role. The hunt is where the film picks up, but overall, this is recommended only for enthusiasts of this era and scene of sexploitation filmmaking. Cult favorites Sandy Dempsey, Barbara Mills, and Laurie Rose play the pursued women.
