The Wizard of Gore

Probably Lewis' most ambitious movie, which is exactly as adorable as that sounds. Obviously, the man bites off more than he can chew, since his talents are virtually nonexistant but therein lies the fun. It's like The Holy Mountain for retarded people.

The same plot as The Last Temptation of Christ, but way less controversial.

And what, pray tell, would you do when entrails are buy one get one free?

One part in particular was revolting.

My FIRST HGL and holy christ was this fun dumb schlock.

Unforgivably bad film-making, but quite entertaining. The ending should stand as the dictionary definition of the term "psychotronic." If you're looking at this because you're interested in H.G. Lewis, start with "Two Thousand Maniacs!" instead.

"The Wizard of Gore" is a poorly shot film that essentially rehashes the same scene repeatedly, each time presenting a different gory spectacle. It was a struggle to watch until the end, offering no payoff for the effort.

This is an acid gorefest fever dream that works most of the time, and doesn't really have much of a conclusion. Drink everytime Montag is mentioned.

I feel like a group of high schoolers found some great special effects and then were encouraged to make a film around it. The crime drama story line was not persuasive. The acting, sound mix, pacing, and cinematography were awful. I was looking for a fun gory movie because I liked Peter Jackson's Brain Dead so much last year. This was not it. I learned a movie needs more than just great practical effects to be enjoyable.

If this avoided some of the extremely long and boring shots, it would be about 20 minutes shorter and a whole lot better.

Not really a good movie. At all. But like a lot of Hershell Gordon Lewis films, it has a certain charm to it.

Another batch of H G Lewis hokum, the usual cross between gruesome and goofy. Considerable amusement is provided by Montag's histrionics, the recurrent closeup of his eyes, not to mention some lurid and silly acting by the other principals. Then there's the fact that the audience seems to be seated in another room entirely. Add to that the incomprehensible finale, and this whole "Is it a dream?" and "The End?...Or Is It?" business, and you've dished yourself up a real bucket of guano.

Terrible and awesome all at once!

Bad Movie!

A great idea with tons of gore and strange twist ending.

Hahahaha the ending is spetacular!

One of the very worst horror movies I have ever seen.
