  1. Hi,

    I sounds like the movie “Open Season” made in 1974.

    Here is the story plot.
    The film follows three Vietnam veterans who are stimulated by violence, and by the subjugation and debasement of those they victimize. Every year they go on vacation in the wilderness, where they engage in a spree of brutality and violence. They choose unsuspecting pairs of victims and hunt them down like wild animals. This year, they decide to kidnap a middle-aged man and his young mistress. After enduring an intense period of sexual manipulation, beatings, and humiliation, the two victims are eventually given time to try and escape after which they will be tracked down and killed. Both make a break, separately, but are found and killed by their tormentors. At the end, one by one, the killers themselves are eliminated by an unknown stalker. He is revealed to be the father of a girl who was raped by the group prior to their military service, and who subsequently committed suicide after giving birth.

    Hope this helps

  2. I could have sworn he starred in a terrible movie called Run Rabbit Run in the early 70’s. So bad they probably destroyed all copies. Out in the country somewhere, he has hostages who he sets free but they would be hunted down and killed. Yeah, horrible movie script idea, I can see why they probably hid this one from lists.

    1. I went to see that movie and it was truly awful. I’ve never forgotten it. As a 13 year old girl it terrified me. I can’t find any info on it anywhere it must have been scrubbed.
