the seducers (1977)

aka Death Game.
"I'm a happily married man."
A happily married man (Seymour Cassel) is home alone when he takes pity on a couple of young women when they knock on his door during a storm. They tell him they are lost, need directions and are soaked, so he invites them in. Jackson and Donna (Sondra Locke & Colleen Camp) flirt with their host and seduce him. The next morning he is surprised that they are still there, and things rapidly turn nasty, as they tell him they are underage and threaten him...
The creepy-crawly, home invasion theme, could have been seriously scary, but is instead turned into something mildly irritating. An opportunity wasted.
