Terrible Delights: Grindhouse Film Reviews

This week's pick is the 1975 blaxploitation (with a side of Nazi overtones) film the Black Gestapo. The staff leader (Night Court's Charles P. Robinson) of a black community-service militia organizes a private army and initiates a violent war against white mobsters.

This week's pick is the 1984 slasher flick the Mutilator. Years after the accidental death of his wife by his son with a hunting rifle, a deranged man begins to kill his son's friends at his beachfront condominium during an impromptu fall break weekend, which is conveniently stocked with an array of murder weapons.

This week's pick is the 1975 melty Satanic film the Devil's Rain. Watch as Ernest Borgnine forcefully converts William Shatner to Satanism and Tom Skerritt blows away cult members in a spray of orange and green blood!

This week's pick is the 1981 slasher film Madhouse. A deformed woman escapes from a mental institution and organizes a morbid birthday surprise for her twin sister with the help of her deranged priest uncle, who can carry a tune pretty well.

This week's pick is the 1981 horror film Evilspeak. Relentlessly bullied by classmates and treated poorly by every adult staff member he encounters, a pudgy military-school student fights back using computer technology to summon a devil worshipper and his demonic powers to exact his revenge on those who have wronged him. Starring a toupee wearing Clint Howard, Richard Moll of Night Court fame and Don Stark of That 70's Show fame!

This week's pick is the 1975 supposedly revenge horror film Satan's Children. Teenager Bobby has had enough of his abusive stepfather and evil, weirdly horny stepsister. He runs away only to be assaulted by a group of unsavory men, who leave him in a ditch. He is then taken in by a Satanic cult and spends most of the movie trying to escape their compound in his tidy whities.

This week's pick is the 1974 Duke Mitchell crime thriller Massacre Mafia Style. IMDB describes it accurately: "The ruthless son of a Mafia kingpin blasts his way through Hollywood on a bloody crime spree." You're in or you're in the way!

In this special episode, Greg and Dan from Stabby Stabby literally stumble into the Terrible Delights realm through a wall and in a wild coincidence watched the 1980 artsy fartsy monkey fantasy film Tanya's Island, just like Scott and Bill had. What's left to do but to talk about the movie with these unexpected visitors!

This week's pick is the 1976 natural horror film Squirm. A storm causes downed power lines that touch the ground, drawing millions of man-eating worms out of the earth, and into town where they quickly start devouring locals.

This week's pick to kick off season 4 is the ass-kicking Return of the Street Fighter. Sonny Chiba is back to breath weird, make weird facial expressions and destroy everyone in the Street Fighter sequel.
