1964 saw the release of both KITTEN WITH A WHIP and LADY IN A CAGE, two films that dealt with suburbanites being terrorized by rampaging young punks.
Part of the horror is that the adult suburbanites are simply in the path of the punks. Taken together, the two 1964 films depict people being victimized essentially at random, rather than for deliberate reasons.
Definitely a day one purchase for me.
