Terrible Delights #25: Inframan

Terrible Delights ·

2023/08/09

This week's pick, and our season one finale, is the extremely fun and excellent Shaw Brothers 1975 superhero film Inframan. If Sid & Marty Krofft tried to make Kamen Rider with the best 70s futuristic sets and costumes while having night terrors, then the result would likely look something like China's first superhero movie. Change! Inframan!

2023/08/02

Terrible Delights #21: Nightbeast

Terrible Delights ·

2023/07/12

The 1982 sci-fi/horror flick Nightbeast is this week's pick. An aggressive alien in what appears to be silk pajamas crash lands on Earth and begins killing people indiscriminately. It's up to a small-town sheriff with a perm and a small group of locals to combat the threat. An unnecessary love triangle adds nothing to this low-budget spectacle, but a high body count and uncomfortable sex scene make up for it.

Terrible Delights #17: Devil's Express

Terrible Delights ·

2023/06/14

This week's pick is the 1976's martial arts/horror mash-up Devil's Express. A tough black martial artist (Warhawk Tanzania) takes on warring street gangs and an evil demon with cartoon eyes that haunts the New York City subways. An accurate description for a rather messy, poorly acted, poorly directed movie. One plus? You get to see lots of how New York City looked in the mid-1970s.
