Summary: Worth renting- if only once
Review: This was a decent midnight movie- my friends and I definately got a kick out of it. 2 am, crammed in a small college dorm, and completely blazed is the way to watch a film like this. H.G. Lewis, "The Godfather of Gore," certainly knows how to cram together as much graphic violence and gore as he possibly can during the murder scenes. The detective, although irritating at times (okay- many times), can be entertaining to pay attention to. The real gems, of course, are the cheesy strip shows. This movie must have been shot in super 8, because often all the white comes in as bright lime green (I love his car in that shade). Overall, "Gore-Gore Girls" is worth a rent sometime. Anyway, we watched this as a companion to Dario Argento's "Suspiria"- which is without a doubt the supirior film. Reguardless, it was an interesting double-feature...everyone's got to have a midnight movie marathon once and awhile.

Summary: Best of the HG Lewis' Saga
Review: What a movie! When watched in the right state of mind and in the right context, it's very campy, unique, and entertaining. I was delighted to see it come out on DVD. The picture quality is much better than the VHS tape at my video store. The commentary by HG Lewis, the HG Lewis gallery and "Love Goddess" scences are great bonuses, for us hard-core HG Lewis fans. I believe Gore-Gore Girls is the best of the HG Lewis films (followed by Wizard of Gore, and Gruesome Twosome). Some of the more memorable moments are outlined below: 1. The most outrageous and original murder scenes. Some of these scences are accomanied with really sick humour. The special effects are sometimes very bad and sometimes quite good (considering the low budget). The really bad, very obvious effects are more fun to watch. 2. The use of Strauss' "Radetzky March" as background music for go-go dancing (fittingly, very bad go-go dancing) and pummelling a go-go dancer's backside with a meat tenderizer. 3. The character "Grout", who sits at the bar all day long smashing fruit with his fist. 4. The Cameo appearance by Henny Youngman, who suppose to be the owner of the club, couldn't help throwing in some "one liners" to the script. 5. The extremely bad acting 6. and many subtle things that one picks up by watching Cult movies like this over and over. Many thanks to "Something Weird Video" for putting this out on DVD. TG

Summary: Abraham Gentry makes Liberace seem Butch!
Review: Wow! Tell me what movie you've seen where a woman's nipples are clipped off with scissors and white milk spews from one and choclate milk from the other? You could ponder all day and never think of one. I love this movie. Although this is considered Lewis' worst and most violent, You can find charm in all this drudge. The story centers around a string of murders involving go-go dancers in Chicago. A newspaper reporter named Nancy Weston is sent to hire a world class detective named Abraham Gentry to solve these hideous crimes. So they start on their investigation by lounging around go-go bars while Nancy makes goo-goo eyes at the obviously gay Abraham. You see every attempt for any woman to seduce him is turned down with a queeny remark or a painful bruise caused by his ever present cane. The murders are inventive, Face in pot of boiling french fries, A meat tenderizer to the buttocks, Face smashed into a mirror, Slashed throat, Etc. The whole atmosphere of the film is almost like a parody of a slasher flick before they even existed. Their is plenty of dry humor and nonsense. Some of the strippers are eyesores, Particulary the black dancer who has too many stretch marks. And Abraham Gentry, Geeze, This guy makes Liberace look butch. This queen should be ON the stage instead of infront of it. Reporter Nancy Weston is definitely barking up the wrong tree. Henny Youngman makes an appearance as a club owner so of course you have to hear his ancient humor for about three minutes. How he was coaxed into doing this kind of movie is a mystery. I guess it was more appealing to talk into a camera instead of a crowded room of mob bosses. GORE! GORE! GIRLS! Is a must for people who love senseless violence, Nude women, And gay detectives.

Summary: It could have been so much worse!
Review: Yes this movie was awful in every way. Bad acting by actors who were drunk or just some yahoo pulled off the street to say a line or two. Bad editing and no continuity what so ever. The effect could have been done by Mrs.Brown's third grade class from household items from around the kitchen. The movie may have been bad, so bad in fact it's fun to watch! Better than Ghost Dog that's for sure! This is just the perfect movie to sit around with a bunch of friends and have a good laugh. then pick up your camcorder and make your own better movie. This movie isn't a horror movie...unless you think about the clothing, but more of a comedy spoof. Want a big laugh. Watch the commentary the director thinks he's a genius. Now that's a hoot!
