The Roommates [1973]

This movie is best described as a series of pornos but only the very beginning before anyone starts having sex. No exaggeration. Every scene is an interaction between two characters, talking about sex, and the implication that they might immediately bone right after. Then suddenly, someone gets killed at the summer camp where the film is set. We genuinely didn't expect it to be a horror film to the point that Adam made a joke about Freddy suddenly appearing and offing someone. 

Is it worth explaining the plot? Or should I say plots? One girl decides to sleep with a divorced rich guy and gets sad but rebounds with some blonde dude she was presumably screwing earlier. One girl has her younger cousin come over and the creepy dude who screwed her at 16 decides to go after her cousin. There's also a guy living in her woods. They don't screw but they do have a moment. There's a girl who works at the library and starts hitting it off with the town sheriff. Then there's a girl who is a camp counselor and ends up screwing one of the campers. Also all these girls might be college students? And the film started with an orgy? This is the most sexless sex movie ever, but the male gaze camera work is cranked up to 11. You will see boobs and so, so much midriff that it's basically the 2004 Teen Choice Awards.

Honestly, this movie was hilarious. We got a lot of joy out of it. What's not to laugh about when everything is a porn set up? It has a real Psycho ripoff of a conclusion to the killer subplot, but that doesn't stop the girls from joyously riding off after a crazy summer, hahaha! 

People died.
