Anyone who grew up watching horror films in the early 80s probably remembers drive-in staple MOTEL HELL, a satiric horror-comedy about cannibalistic farmers, but the real keeper here is 1974's DERANGED, directed by Alan Ormsby (CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS and DEATHDREAM) and starring Roberts Blossom (CHRISTINE, HOME ALONE) as Ezra Cobb, a murderer and grave robber base...d on the real life serial killer Ed Gein (also the inspiration for "Leatherface" from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE). This is a gritty, low-budget film that manages to balance out the horror with some sick humor. Considering it's budgetary limitations, it all works exceedingly well! Definitely one of the top-tier obscure horror films of the 1970s and a must-own for any collector!
