The Sex Victims, 1973 – ★★★

A slightly grubby offering from the short sharp Shocks boxset, ‘The Sex Victims’ is a fine enough way to kill 37 minutes…but it’s not only one of those movies where, if you think about the ending for more than a minute, the whole film falls apart. And it REEKS of toxic masculinity.

The plot follows a 70s truck driver, looking to get his end away who, while on a new route, gets accosted by a gorgeous naked woman riding a horse.

Our driver thinks nothing of it, until the next time he runs the route it happens again. And this time the woman seems to know his name and act a little inviting.

Our driver (who can also ride horses) decides to find the nearest stables to the route and, if you couldn’t have guessed the owner of the stables is non other than our beautiful naked woman…now fully dressed and in ‘professional’ mode.

And what follows is a near enough 10 minute ‘prey being stalked by big macho man’ runaround in the woods, as our lady turns up in lingerie and our man becomes ever hornier. With a twist you’ll probably get almost immediately honestly…

Kind of predictable and a little icky by 2024 standards, I don’t really have any flaws perse for this one…its just kind of average for the 70s…though, it did give me a great idea for a horror movie called ’70s man’ in which a stereotypical chauvinistic sexist 70s man is transported to the modern day and chases women for ‘nookie’…a genuinely haunting concept.
