Turkey Shoot (1982)

This Ozploitation classic is directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. It is set sometime in the near future of 1995 when "social deviants" are sent away to re-education camps. These prisoners will supposedly be released one day when they have been rehabilitated. However it doesn't seem likely, as the guards torture and kill inmates as they please.

Newly arrived at the camp are Paul (Steve Railsback), a political dissident and Chris Walters (Olivia Hussey), mistaken as a rebel sympathizer. They happen to show up just as the camp commander has arranged for a little game with his sadistic friends. Simply, it's a turkey shoot: the prisoners are let loose and the hunters just pick them off.

Alternative Titles: Escape 2000, Blood Camp Thatcher
