Hard going for viewers who aren't fans of creative bloodletting and bad acting.

Wes Craven and the survival horror genre owe a lot to this shlock gem!

If you consider southerners to be a race, this is the most racist movie ever.

very clever - the ol' nails-through-a-barrel thing.

Blood Feast is horrible, but this one's the real deal. Contains an actual (wait for it) plot and a lot of tongue in cheek humor. Thomas Wood is the man, and Connie Mason's lack of acting chops is exploited wonderfully here. One of the better HGL films.

After the glory of Blood Feast, anything short of a masterpiece would be a disappointment, which Two Thousand Maniacs is anything but.

Lewis' masterpiece (I guess)...at least, of the ones I've seen. The giddy hilarity of the proceedings had a certain demented charm, and were a welcome change from the usual on-ice atmosphere of his stuff, where it's like you're looking at everything through a wall of glass. The bluegrass band was fine, but the HGL presence could definitely be felt in those organ-heavy riffs throughout. Oh yeah, and the Twilight Zone ending was fun.

Perverted and almost unsettling in its silliness.

Largely mindless fun, and the acting is as wooden as you'd expect, but with surprisingly visceral gore effects for the time period.

Stupid little funfilled early goreflick. Has some imaginative killings and is crammed with inept acting.

Filmed with a shoestring budget and awful actors, there are a lot of awkward and clumsy moments in the film. But it has a decent plot, some nice gore effects, and a quirky charm that make it an interesting, though not very good, movie.

A huge improvement over Blood Feast.
