The Strange Fetishes

About This Movie

The Strange Fetishes is an odd little 1967 horror film that dives into the dark underbelly of a swinging sixties subculture. With a narrative that feels almost like a fever dream, it follows a crazed killer targeting go-go dancers, which gives it a rather unsettling vibe. The pacing is pretty uneven; some scenes drag while others hit like a punch. What stands out are the practical effects—they’re low-budget but have this gritty charm that enhances the eerie tone. The performances range from over-the-top to genuinely unnerving, injecting a kind of chaotic energy throughout. There's a certain rawness that makes it fascinating, not to mention the bizarre thematic exploration of desire and violence that lingers after the credits roll.

The Strange Fetishes has had a limited release history, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. Original prints are hard to come by, and the film has garnered interest among underground horror enthusiasts due to its peculiar subject matter and execution. Its scarcity and the unusual narrative have led to a niche following, with some collectors eager to track down any available formats, especially for the practical effects that highlight its era.
