The Wizard of Gore Revisited


After watching that scene in "Juno" yesterday, I just had to put on "The Wizard of Gore" for kicks. It was a nice viewing last night, as I understood the movie a little bit more. By no means was it well made in a technical sense. The acting was terrible, and the plot holes were plentiful. Regardless, the film is fascinating in the way the extreme amounts of gore were put in to movie this early on. It is actually one of the bloodiest horror films I have ever watched. The plot itself is also pretty original, and the twists are mind boggling. I totally recommend watching this film, not because it is a masterpiece, but because it is a very important part of horror history, and one heck of a good time.
