Terrible Delights #25: Inframan

Terrible Delights: Grindhouse Film Reviews ·

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: Grindhouse Film Reviews ·

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.

This week's pick is the 1984 action revenge movie Alley Cat. A skilled martial artist tries to get revenge on the thugs who attempt to steal her tires and attack her grandparents. Featuring three separate scenes where she kicks the asses of would-be pervs while out for a nighttime jog.

Terrible Delights #17: Devil's Express

Terrible Delights: Grindhouse Film Reviews ·

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.

Terrible Delights #13: Portrait in Crystal

Terrible Delights: Grindhouse Film Reviews ·

2023/05/17

This week's pick is the insane 1983 Shaw Brothers action/horror/mystery Portrait in Crystal. According to IMDB, several mysterious killings take place in the underworld and a warfighter is trying to find the culprit behind these murders.
