Sudden Fury

Gay Rowan was a very good actress, I liked her in the TV show, The Starlost, with Keir Dullea. She seems to have stopped acting around 1984. Ms. Rowan gives a stellar performance in this film as the mistreated wife. This film is suspenseful all the way, and never gets boring. The farmers wife, played by Hollis Mclaren is an absolute hottie. Big on action, paranoia, and diabolical lunacy. Well made for a low budget film from the mid 1970's. The husband played by Dominic Hogan is a complete nut job. The costumes in the film are so 1970's they need to make a comeback. Hogans three piece suit is great. Though not a masterpiece, I give this an 8 out of 10.

I saw this movie when I was a teenager and always thought there was going to be a part Two. That never happened. I like movies with plots that are unpredictable and this movie is just that. It takes you in so many directions and has so many surprises. While you do hope things straighten out for the hero you never know what will happen next. It is very believable and the actors (none of whom I remember) are excellent. This is a movie I've longed to see again but never got the opportunity. Hope the Canadians see it fit to commit this excellent move to video. This is one of the thrillers that, once you see it, you'd never forget it. It's worth seeing and I intend owning it.

I found this film to be unusual in the sense that it wasn't a predictable, hollywood-type film complete with the obligitory happy ending. Tension builds slowly as the struggle between good and evil takes some unexpected turns. Low budget and largely unknown but well done.

Brian Damude wrote and directed this highly entertaining low-budget thriller shot on a very slender budget and using a number of personnel from Ontario's Ryerson University. Dominic Hogan,Gay Rowan,Dan Hennessey, Hollis McLaren and David Yorston star in this tale of a married couple whose weekend drive in the country takes a serious detour into bloody madness and murder.Very suspenseful and skilfully directed exploitation gem with several suspenseful scenes set in Canadian wilderness.The soundtrack is excellent and the acting is very good.A must-see,if you liked "Trapped","Death Weekend","Shoot" or "Wolf Lake".8 out of 10.
