Thrill Deviates is one of those roughies that just sticks with you, you know? It dives darkly into the psyche of its main character, Dale, a real disturbed figure who's obsessed with stalking and killing. The gore is pretty graphic but has a raw quality to it, making it feel unfiltered and true to its era. The second story, with Glen McKay and his drug-induced escapades, ramps up the unsettling tone even more. The practical effects, while not overly polished, have a gritty charm that adds to the grim atmosphere. There's something about the pacing that draws you in—it’s like a slow burn that ultimately leads to these jarring moments that stick in your mind long after the credits roll.
Thrill Deviates has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. There are a few variations of VHS tapes and DVDs out there, but they often come with varying quality. The film's rawness and thematic depth have garnered interest among collectors who appreciate the gritty side of 60s cinema, although finding a good copy can be a bit of a hunt.
