TRAP ON COUGAR MOUNTAIN

Cinemavixion Review

Released in 1972, "Trap on Cougar Mountain" is a quaint, albeit somewhat simplistic, adventure film helmed by Keith Larsen, who also stars in and co-wrote the screenplay. The narrative follows a young mountain dweller's earnest efforts to safeguard the local wildlife from the encroaching threat of hunters and trappers. While the film may not boast the polish of larger studio productions, its earnest message about conservation and its straightforward storytelling resonate with a certain rustic charm. Keith Larsen, alongside Karen Steele and Eric Larsen, delivers performances that, while perhaps not groundbreaking, serve the film's earnest tone. The movie's G rating suggests a family-friendly approach, and its focus on the natural world offers a gentle, if occasionally slow-paced, viewing experience for those interested in this particular era of independent filmmaking.
