The Grousers

Actors:  Tab Hunter, Cherie Latimer, Nadyne Turney, Linda Leider, Isabell Jewell
Rating:  2 out of 10, the Grousers AKA The Arousers AKA Sweet Kill was a joke gift from my friend who remembered this from our high school days as a racy film from the “naughty” drive in located in a nearby town.  It acquired the name Grousers when the drive in misspelled the name on its marquee and we were all trying to figure out what a “Grouser” was.  We watched it together on Saturday and marveled at just how bad this movie was and how tame it seemed by today’s conventions.  This was a Roger Corman produced movie with no real plot other than 1950s heart throb Tab Hunter killing girls.  Interestingly this was written and directed by Curtis Hanson who went on to have some real success in main stream Hollywood.  A really bad movie that brought up a lot of really funny memories from my youth.
MVP:  Whoever the actress was who was drying her hair in front of a mirror– still scene stealing
