Yowza, here's a new old one I watched recently for the first time: Poor Pretty Eddie aka Redneck County, Black Vengeance, and Heartbreak Motel . This sleazy 1975 backwoods set hicksploitation flick stars Shelly Winters, Slim Pickens, and Ted "Lurch" Cassidy and was apparently produced by pornographers attempting to make a legitimate mainstream picture to avoid undue attention by the FBI! It knocked my socks so far off my feet I was inspired to write this capsule review entirely in haiku form.
Caution: spoilers ahead!
