Dear Dead Delilah

1972 · 95 min

A creaky, overheated Southern Gothic that lurches between mansion melodrama and sudden axe mayhem, more lurid curiosity than genuine scare.

Tagline: You Pay For The Whole Seat - You Only Use The Edge!
Overview: The stern matriarch of a family that lives in a creepy mansion finds that a killer is hiding in the house, searching for a $600,000 fortune rumored to be hidden there and chopping off the heads of anyone who gets in the way.
How it feels: Dark, campy, eerie and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Greed, family, betrayal, death
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
