I've seen Last House on the Left, I Spit on Your Grave, Island of Death, Torso, and a few more, but I need more! Can anyone recommend any good exploitation films of the '70s?

I've seen a ton of 70s exploitation, but one of my consistent favorites is Strip Nude for Your Killer. something about it (and not just the neckid ladies) is really cool and really good. I would recommend that one highly.

Man I wanna see this I've been having a real prick of a time finding it over here especially since I don't have a credit card :mad:
Here some I dig a lot...
Deranged
Blood and Lace
Switchblade Sisters
Lady Snowblood
Last House On Dead End Street
I'll add some later my mind is blank and I gotta go to work.

Savage Weekend is surprisingly cool. Lady Snowblood is good, but for true grindhouse Sukeban sexploitation fun I recommend Sex and Fury or Terrifying Girl's High School:Lynch Law Classroom. Love those two.

I picked up Sex and Fury and Female Yakuza Tale last week I'll have to let you know what I think when I watch 'em in the next couple of days.

It's a fun genre, really gonzo exciting stuff. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

True, but it was the first exploitation flick that really stuck out in my head.

You have to see Satans Cheerleaders.

I recommend Bloodsucking Freaks, aka The Incredible Torture Show. It's very OTT, verging on rather misogynistic, with lots of scenes of naked women being tortured and killed in various ways - by the two main male characters, who are a guy who looks like a magician and his assistant who's a black dwarf with an afro hairstyle! To give you an idea of how high-brow and sensible the film is, there's a scene of a naked woman's bottom being used as a dartboard. Certainly not for the politically correct viewer!

^^ Great flick for sure... you seen the HG Lewis film The Wizard Of Gore? Kinda similar.
That doctor in BSF is really fucked up :D

Haven't seen Wizard of Gore, but yeah, I've heard it's a similar idea.
That doctor was perhaps even more twisted than the other two main men in the film, I seem to remember even they looked a bit disturbed when they were watching him!

There are some FINE movies from the 70's that you have to see. Everyone has their favorites.
I personally am fond of a lot of these...BLACULA is cool, as are CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, BEWARE THE BLOB, THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, SQUIRM.......there are simply a lot of wonderful, weird, cool exploitation horror flicks from the 70's. Don't forget BEAST OF BLOOD and DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN! And some 70's Paul Naschy films too...THE WEREWOLF VS. VAMPIRE WOMAN is one of the best of those.

If this is the one also known as Werewolf Shadow, then I agree this is a very good film! Not very graphic compared to a lot of 'exploitational' movies, though, but still good fun and re-watchable.

Yeh dude they had that look of "What the fuck is this cunt into?"
I dig Blue Sunshine a lot more than Squirm. Dead of Night (Deathdream) is great... I really hated Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things although the ending is cool and the zombies look great.

Yes, in its uncut form, known as WEREWOLF SHADOW...you get a little more nudity in that version. It's a fun movie with hot vampire girls, werewolf attacks, drafty old castles and grave-robbing...all that fun stuff.

I think Driller Killer is very underappreciated as a 70's exploitation film. Watched it again the other day, after hating it forever, and I was really smitten with it. Having seen Ms. 45, Driller Killer made a lot more sense. It's legitimate down and dirty punk cinema.

All of the above plus:
Women in Cellblock 9
I Spit on Your Corpse
The Beast
Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things
The Love Thrill Murders
Eugenie De Sade
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (art or exploitation?)
The Night of the Sorcerers
Drive In Massacre
Emanuelle in America
Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals
Satan's Cheerleaders
SS Hell Camp
Sugar Cookies
Werewolf Woman
So many great films in this era.

I agree completely, Doc. I'm a big Abel Ferrara fan and Driller Killer is one of his best.

I'm really excited. I just got a query approved on an article about him, so I'm going to be watching his movies for the next couple days and hopefully turning out a good one.

Bad Lieutenant is my favorite flick of his.... it never gets the respect it deserves.
