## Description

'Pulsating, terrifying, with a grip like steel' - Empire From Walter Hill, legendary director of The Warriors and The Long Riders, comes this gripping cult classic. A routine training exercise in the Louisiana bayou becomes and all too real war of attrition when a unit of brash National Guardsmen unwittingly upset a group of local Cajun hunters. Lost in unknown territory and armed with little more than blank ammo, the weekend soldiers face a terrifying battle for survival against an unforgiving enemy hidden deep in the heart of the swampland. BONUS FEATURES: 'Will he live or will he die?' - a newly commissioned interview with director Walter Hill (45 mins)

Review: Brilliant, just as good as Deliverance - Southern Comfort (1981) is an American action/thriller film directed by Walter Hill and written by Michael Kane, and Hill and his longtime collaborator David Giler. It stars Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe, Fred Ward, T. K. Carter, Franklyn Seales, and Peter Coyote. The film, set in 1973, features a Louisiana Army National Guard squad of nine on weekend maneuvers in rural bayou country as they antagonize some local Cajun people and become hunted. Members of an undisciplined patrol of Louisiana National Guardsmen are meeting in the bayou swamps for weekend manoeuvres. Corporal Hardin (Powers Boothe), a cynical transfer from the Texas National Guard, is disgusted with the behaviour and arrogance of his new squad. A married man, he wants no part of a date with prostitutes that Private Spencer (Keith Carradine) has waiting for the men. Nevertheless, he is befriended by the amiable Spencer, the two seeming to agree that they are the only level-headed soldiers in the squad. This film starred the following actors as their respective characters: Keith Carradine as Pvt. Spencer; Powers Boothe as Cpl. Hardin; Fred Ward as Cpl. Reece; Franklyn Seales as Pvt. Simms; T. K. Carter as Pvt. Cribbs; Lewis Smith as Pvt. Stuckey; Les Lannom as Sgt. Casper; Peter Coyote as Staff Sgt. Poole; Alan Autry as Cpl. "Coach" Bowden (billed as Carlos Brown); Brion James as Cajun trapper; Sonny Landham as hunter; Dewey Balfa, traditional musician, in a cameo role as a Cajun singer and fiddle player; Marc Savoy, traditional musician, in a cameo role as a Cajun accordion player; Frank Savoy, traditional musician, in a cameo role as a Cajun singer and triangle player. I never saw Southern Comfort before getting it on DVD (like Deliverance, I got this film as a Christmas present for my dad after he heard from a colleague at work that the film was supposed to be very good, and I tell you something, he's right about that). Southern Comfort is a very entertaining film which has a similar plot to the classic 1972 film Deliverance as both of these films see soldiers fighting for survival. Very highly recommended.
Review: 'my friends, they not nice like me!' - Superbly tough and atmospheric Vietnam allegory from Walter Hill. Hill's films often have a theme in common - running the gauntlet, and 'Southern Comfort', like 'The Warriors' Warriors - Ultimate Director's Cut Edition (1979) [DVD ], falls into this category. A group of US National Guardsmen on exercises in the Louisiana bayou 'borrow' some boats from the local Cajuns. Unfortunately, the owners of the canoes return mid way through the pilfering. To top things off, an intellectually subnormal Private first class Stuckey (Lewis Smith) fires blanks at the already miffed backwoodsmen from a machinegun. Suffice it to say that things go rapidly downhill from there, as the disdgruntled (hairy, massive, and well armed) locals swap hunting mink for hunting weekend warriors. The interplay of characters is well developed, with Powers Booth excelling as the outsider who's tougher than he looks, and Keith Carradine as a joker turned survivor. Thrown together in a nightmare scenario, bickering turns to deadly score settling as the ill prepared soldiers turn on each other. For many viewers, this film will be all about atmosphere - the claustraphobia of the almost featureless bayou, the dream-like slogging through knee deep water, never knowing when things will get grizzly. This atmosphere is of course enhanced by Ry Cooder's memorable score. The film builds to an almost hypnotic climax at a lively party deep in (seemingly friendly) Cajun country - but should our surviving heroes let their hair down and 'allez, danse!' as their hosts suggest, or should they keep a firm hold on whatever weapons they can lay their hands on? A favourite film from my childhood that's as fresh as ever today. Critical Social Theory and the End of Work (Rethinking Classical Sociology)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watch it!
*by E***E on 30 April 2025*

This is a criminally under-rated film. It tells the story of a group of US reservist soldiers who go on a training exercise in the Louisiana swamps, and get into a murderous conflict with some local Cajun hunters. The soldiers soon realise that their military training is no match for the skills and knowledge of the blood-thirsty locals who are operating on their home territory. Even the swamp itself starts to become a hostile force to the soldiers. The film reminds me to some extent of "Deliverance" - the themes are similar, though this piece is more action-driven. There are strong performances here, and each of the characters in the squad of nine has a distinct personality - not all of them pleasant. Part of the appeal of the film is seeing how the group functions, and fails to function, when it comes under extreme pressure. I've seen this film several times over several decades, and it's been good every time. Watch it, and you'll have an appreciation of dry footwear forevermore.
