Review of Dear Dead Delilah (1972) by Jay N — 07 Nov 2010
Superbly-sleazy Grade Z cheeseball-horror-buffet as only the 1970's could produce, with fountains of copious ketchuppy-blood generously applied with reckless abandon. The greedy heirs of the dying southern matriarch Delilah (Played with thick slices of schmaltzy ham by the great Agnes Moorehead-) initiate a scavenger hunt for a cache of the family fortune hidden somewhere on the grounds of Delilah's decaying estate.
One-by-one, the participants are knocked off in hilariously-amateurish ways by an unseen assailant, although it's inferred that the housekeeper, a recently-released inmate of the local booby-hatch, is the culprit.
A joyously lowbrow & low-rent romp in wretched excess.
