Sleeve art for DeliriumWATCHdeep cut

Delirium

1979 · USA · 88m

A Vietnam veteran, a vigilante group and a plot that gives up. Not the Lamberto Bava one.

Sleeve art for Blood RitesWATCHobscure

Blood Rites

1968 · USA

Andy Milligan shooting in Staten Island with a hand-held Auricon. An acquired taste nobody acquires.

Sleeve art for Night of the DemonWATCHobscure

Night of the Demon

1980 · USA · 96m

Bigfoot tears a man's genitals off. That is the scene, that is the film, that is why it was prosecuted.

Sleeve art for ExposéWATCHobscure

Exposé

1976 · UK · 84m

The only British film on the DPP list. A novelist, a typist and Fiona Richmond in a farmhouse.

Sleeve art for Frozen ScreamWATCHobscure

Frozen Scream

1975 · USA · 85m

Every line is dubbed, including scenes with nobody talking. Almost hypnotically incompetent.

Sleeve art for The SlayerWATCHobscure

The Slayer

1982 · USA · 90m

A painter's nightmares kill people on an off-season island. Genuinely atmospheric and badly underrated.

Sleeve art for UnhingedWATCHobscure

Unhinged

1982 · USA · 79m

Three women, a mansion, rain, and a twist. Shot in Oregon and stranger than its reputation.

Sleeve art for AxeWATCHobscure

Axe

1974 · USA

68 minutes, shot in nine days, and oddly melancholy for something on a banned list.

Sleeve art for Forest of FearWATCHobscure

Forest of Fear

1980 · USA · 89m

Marijuana growers, a herbicide and some very slow zombies. On the list by accident of title.

Sleeve art for Terror EyesWATCHobscure

Terror Eyes

1981 · USA · 88m

A motorcycle killer in Boston with a kukri. Rachel Ward's debut and a real giallo influence.

Sleeve art for EvilspeakWATCHcult

Evilspeak

1981 · USA · 89m

Clint Howard, a military academy, a computer and a lot of pigs. Better than it has any right to be.

Sleeve art for Human ExperimentsWATCHcult

Human Experiments

1979 · USA · 78m

A women-in-prison film with a brainwashing subplot. Linda Haynes deserved better material.

Sleeve art for Island of DeathWATCHcult

Island of Death

1976 · GR · 108m

Mastorakis watched Texas Chain Saw, counted the perversions and wrote a list. It shows.

Sleeve art for MadhouseWATCHcult

Madhouse

1981 · USA/Italy · 93m

A deaf teacher, a disfigured twin and a rottweiler. Shot in Savannah and better made than most of the list.

Sleeve art for Visiting HoursWATCHcult

Visiting Hours

1982 · Canada

Michael Ironside stalking a hospital. A real cast, a real budget, and no business being on the list.

Sleeve art for Love Camp 7WATCHcult

Love Camp 7

1969 · USA · 94m

The film that started the nazisploitation cycle. Lee Frost, a backlot, and no defence available.

Sleeve art for Prankscult

Pranks

1982 · USA · 84m

A dorm over Christmas break and a plot that runs out. Notable mainly for an early Daphne Zuniga.

Sleeve art for Devil HunterWATCHcult

Devil Hunter

1980 · Spain/France · 80m

Franco at his most indifferent. Ninety minutes of jungle and a monster with bulging eyes.

Sleeve art for Cannibal ApocalypseWATCHcult

Cannibal Apocalypse

1980 · Italy/Spain · 92m

Vietnam veterans come home with a bite that spreads. A better idea than the film delivers.

Sleeve art for Deep River SavagesWATCHcult

Deep River Savages

1972 · Italy · 94m

The first Italian cannibal film. A Man Called Horse relocated to Thailand with mondo bolted on.

Sleeve art for Nightmare MakerWATCHcult

Nightmare Maker

1981 · USA · 96m

Susan Tyrrell as the aunt, giving a performance far too committed for the film around it.
