William Fruet's Death Weekend (The House by the Lake) (1976) The House by the Lake (perhaps better known as Death Weekend) is an intense survivalist suspense drama helmed by Canadian auteur William Fruet (who also created the 1972 drama Wedding in White, the spooky Funeral Home, and the telepathic killer snake extravaganza Spasms) and featuring a fantastic Brenda Vaccaro (fresh from her Oscar-nominated role in Once Is Not Enough) and a truly menacing Don Stroud (Bloody Mama, The Amityville Horror) playing a deadly, harrowing game of cat and mouse. Death Weekend achieved some small critical acclaim at the time of its theatrical release in 1976, but was nevertheless considered repugnant by many who couldn't handle its brazen violence and sexual brutality. (Interestingly, the film's American theatrical release title of The House by the Lake was a marketing attempt to cash in on the success of the equally brutal Wes Craven film Last House on the Left.)
