South of Hell Mountain (1971)

Review by udar55

South of Hell Mountain

5/10

Twang, twang, twang

This promised horror on the box but this Cannon release is more of a backwoods action-drama. Bible spouting Pa and his two sons kill a bunch of people at a mine and steal the gold. On the run, they come across young Sally who is living with her mean step-mom Helen. Sally is smitten with one of the young boys while Helen sees gold in them thar hills. All of this is told via flashback as Sally is visited by a psychiatrist in a dingy insane asylum. This is a really odd movie. It is almost like they finished the main film, found out they didn't have enough footage for a full length movie and added the asylum bits. This is all but confirmed with an opening credit that says, "Asylum scenes written and directed by William Sachs" (of THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN infamy). The main body of the film is credited to one Louis Leahman and it is his only credit. On the downside, this film features more Jew's Harp (twang, twang, twang!) than one should ever hear in a lifetime. I'd actually like to know more about this movie as it has some interesting parts and well done, downbeat ending.
