THE DEER HUNTER Review On "Violent Maniac's Cage"

DEER HUNTER, THE

(1978, USA)

DIRECTED BY: Michael Cimino.

One of my favorite non-horror flicks of all time and an Oscar winning classic. Don't get me wrong even if it didn't win any awards I'd still love it. I watched Oscar winning Raging Bull, English Patient and The Piano and I thought they all sucked. At least this film actually deserved it. If you haven't already seen this then you should make it a point to do so.

It's about a group of small town steel workers and their daily trials at a local bar and on hunting trips. The men played by Christopher Walken, Robert De Niro and John Voight eventually go to the Vietnam war and it changes their lives for the worse.

The Russian roulette scenes are hair raising and the conclusion is heart breaking depending on how much you are into movies and if you appreciate good ones like myself. Keep your eyes peeled for this if you haven't had the pleasure of viewing it yet.

Rating: 5 Skulls
