Nonsensical and illogical.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 6, 2019

This is a real odd duck -- inspired by Brigadoon, of all things, with a score that alternates between cheesy midnight-movie organ and high-spirited bluegrass -- but its bloodthirsty hicks have become a genre standard.

Having picked up a modicum of craft since Blood Feast, Lewis integrates the gruesome money-shots less maladroitly into the story. Still, his sideshow-barker shamelessness remains undimmed.

This is easily Lewis' best film.

| Mar 30, 2019

While as badly acted and technically inept as any Lewis drive-in exploiter, the cheaply graphic effects still carry a potent charge.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 30, 2019

A film considered essential by many filmmakers who clearly inspired in it to compose their horror symphonies, with a delusional premise and daring situations. [Full review in Spanish]

It's boring, it's shrill, and it's obnoxious.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 28, 2009

Sure, it's a splatter film with creative deaths, but that doesn't make up for the tedium, repetition, and plot holes that follow.

Herschell Gordon Lewis' follow-up to "Blood Feast" is a lot better and offers some laughably cartoonish violence.

A hilarious, rediculous mess of shock schlock cinema.

Camp classic grindhouse gore.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 3, 2005

Apesar de importante na gnese do gore, Lewis era um pssimo cineasta, roteirista, compositor e diretor de fotografia. Mas, como Ed Wood, seus filmes tm o charme da ruindade.

It would be unkind of me to intimate that Herschell Gordon Lewis' cracker revenge fantasy is a documentary, but I can't help but see a little bit of truth in it.

It's films like this that give B-films and Southern hillbillies a bad name.

| Original Score: C | Jun 14, 2004

The movie will have you cringing and smiling at the same time.

| Mar 10, 2003

Fun in a bad kind of way

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 20, 2003

Notable only for its unconvincing gore and bad acting.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 11, 2002

From the opening credits of banjo mayhem... things look set for a wild ride and the proclaimed 'Godfather of Gore' certainly delivers.
