"Death Weekend" is a more complex film than it appears on the surface.
The violence is initially against Harry's property which he values more than anything else. Even though Diane has spurned him one gets the impression that he considers her his property too. Her resilience against the grotesque mob of ugly greasers is exhilarating to watch and is comparable to the revenge actions that take place in the later "I Spit On Your Grave".
The film's closing images are unnerving, keeping in tone with the somewhat excessive terror factor of the second half.
Stroud and Vaccaro are excellent.
7/10
