The Gore Gore Girls(1972)


Director: Herschell Gordon Lewis
Rating: Unrated

A reporter investigates the mysterious and heinous murders of dancers from a club in his town. Along the way, he is helped by employees of the club, old friends, and new acquaintances. 

The film stars Frank Kress as Abraham, Amy Farrell as Nancy, Hedda Lubin as Marlene, and Russ Badger as Lt. Anderson. 

I have been watching "The Wizard of Gore" for a while now, and while I love the movie, there are many flaws that throw me off. While "The Gore Gore Girls" is not a cinematic masterpiece, all of the problems from the previous film were fixed. While "Wizard of Gore" felt like gore with a plot, "The Gore Gore Girls" felt more like a good movie with some awesome gore. The plot was interesting, the characters had personality and memorability(even though the acting was nothing high class), the gore was out of this world and very creative in the ways it was used, the overall atmosphere was very cool and appropriate to the story, and the mystery and revealing of the murderer both had me very surprised. To top everything off, this movie was both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious to the point that I was laughing my head off 90% of the time. I was extremely impressed by how much this film improved upon "Wizard of Gore," because this was a much more entertaining and lively project in Lewis' catalog. 

Any lovers of B-Horror flicks will go crazy about how awesome "The Gore Gore Girls" is. The genre doesn't get much better than it. It is an outrageous, hilarious, and entertaining movie that kept me occupied the entire time. I highly recommend. 

Grade on a B-Movie Scale: 9.5/10(An excellent low budget horror film).
