Gator Bait (1973)


Another swamp girl movie. A sheriff, his deputy son and a family of degenerate swamp dwellers hunt for the elusive swamp girl (Claudia Jennings) who the deputy falsely blames for killing the swamp family's son/brother. The swamp brothers seem intent on raping her. One was sexually assaulting his own sister when the sheriff came to tell them of his brother's demise.

They attempt to rape but then murder the swamp girl's sister (Janit Baldwin). The swamp girl's younger brother (Tracy Sebastian) runs to get her and the two of them set out for revenge. 


I assume this was a movie aimed at an exclusively Southern audience. I heard this about Burt Reynolds' movie White Lightning and such movies as Walking Tall, that any money they got from non-Southern audiences was icing on the cake. Is this how Southerners see themselves? Are cruel Southern stereotypes their self-image?

Free on Movieland.Tv.

Here is an article about the makers of the movie. Claims he got some interesting advice from Walt Disney.
