In this week’s Play Horror For Me episode as we dive into Walter Hill’s Southern Comfort(1981) a tense, atmospheric survival thriller where National Guardsmen find themselves hunted deep in Louisiana’s bayou.
We break down the film’s gritty realism, haunting score, and how it captures Vietnam paranoia better than most war movies ever dared. Expect Southern Gothic dread, eerie stillness, and that creeping sense that nature — and the locals — are closing in.
