The Horror!? 05: Savage Weekend (1976?)

This is a prime piece of Seventies nastiness I hadn't heard about before. The movie is a surprisingly clever and stylish take on the "evil country people kill city folk" sub-genre, but plays out as a rural American variant on the Giallo. Which not only means creative, but sloppy (try to count the number of times you see a boom mike) directing, but also more strange sexual overtones and undertones than one could hope for.
And all this brought to us by a future Dallas writer. The world of weird movies is truly wonderful.
