Viewing Notes
A cast full of guys you’d really expect to go hunting together (Henry Silva, Cliff Robertson, Ernest Borgnine) end up spiraling into a nightmare of an existential crisis after running into a group of hunters who look shockingly like them. Shots are fired, a man is killed and paranoia takes over. The final act is out of its damn mind in the most wonderful, Canadian way possible.
