The movie involves a deranged and possibly imbred family who live in a house in the woods. They (I think) exlcusively terrorize women throughout the film. The scenes that stand out in my mind include a girl being kept in a dresser drawer, a woman tied to exercise equipment, and a woman (heroine?) dressed in a skimpy patriotic outfit. The woman wearing red, white, and blue loses control when she gets free and starts taking revenge to try and free the other captives. It felt like a movie from the 70s-80s but I’m not 100% sure. I remember seeing it on satelite over a decade ago and have been trying to recall the title for my horror movie obssesed friend. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. ---

It sounds like “[The Last House on the Left.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068833/)” ---

[The Hills Have Eyes](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077681/)? Don’t think it takes place in the woods (haven’t seen it in forever), but it sounds somewhat similar. ---

This movie is none other than the pride of the Joizey Pine Barrens. . . [Mother’s Day (1980)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081186/). Please, no applause. . . It embarrasses me. ---

Awesome! Thanks. I own Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes so I knew it wasn’t one of the two. I was suspecting it could be Mother’s Day recently after some searches but wanted some verification. This site actually came up in my searches and after perusing it seemed like a great place to receive a definitive answer. Thanks a bunch Snake-Hips! ---

It worries me that people know these movies 🙂
