What better way to celebrate the holidays than by examining the late Seventies feature Death Game (1977)? Actually, almost everything would be better. For those brave at heart, join the Grue Crew as they share their thoughts on the film recently remade as Knock Knock (2015) by Eli Roth. The film stars Sondra Locke, Colleen Camp, and Seymour Cassel. Directed by Peter S. Traynor, is the film filled with complex social commentary or gratuitous exploitation?

At the time of this writing, Death Game is available to stream from Shudder, AMC+, and Flix Fling. The film is available on physical media as a 2-disc Blu-ray from Grindhouse Releasing.
