  Gore-Gore Girls, The (HK - DVD) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive

 THE GORE GORE GIRLS - SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO/DVD
At a time where many imitators were saturating the film market with gore films, Lewis decided to make his most extreme movie (until he came out of retirement in 2001 with Blood Feast 2), The Gore Gore Girls.

When one has plumbed the kind of depths reached by Blood Feast and Color Me Blood Red, one feels a little self-conscious when claiming that The Gore Gore Girls is even worse, but I watched Color Me Blood Red a week before this one, and it looks like a masterpiece by comparison.
But be warned that even by Lewis' standards, the gore is quite astonishingly extreme - the fact that no-one's ever bothered submitting it to the BBFC comes as no surprise, and it's all too likely that Customs probably won't look especially kindly on it if they intercept and watch this DVD while it's in transit.
The harsh shadows and extreme contrast between the often overexposed foreground and grossly underexposed background suggests that lighting was somewhat minimal - when Gentry looks at one of the strippers and says "that is the sexiest woman I've ever seen", all I could see was a whitish pink blob gyrating in the background.

 Gore Gore Girls review
He was last seen talking with a friend of Suzy's, a girl named Candy Cane, and Gentry and Nancy arrive at her place just in time to discover her corpse, also hideously mutilated.
The blood and gore, though rendered in what Lewis is fond of advertising as "In Blood Color", is not all that realistic, but effective none the less- it is, as they say, the thought that counts.
H.G. Lewis, " The Wizard of Gore" is known for quick, brutal trashy flicks like this, but I think this was his finest- it was also his last film before retirement, although rumors of a sequel to Blood Feast still abound.

This is H.G. Lewis, the Godfather of Gore.
Released in 1972, the "Gore Gore Girls," a stomach-churning and brain-twisting follow-up to Lewis's infamous "Wizard of Gore," is one of the first horror films ever to be rated X! While assembled upon a generous budget of $63,500, "The Gore Gore Girls" is a cult masterpiece of blood, fl humor, and burlesque.
The "Gore Gore Girls" is an anarchic, nihilistic parody of its times, and it would be enjoyed by followers of Sade, Hobbes, and Malthus today.

 The Gore Gore Girls (1972) aka Blood Orgy
There is still one or two scenes left in this version - the opening where a girl's face is shoved into a mirror in her dressing room and an incredibly fake-looking scene where a head is split open with a machete - but even these have clearly been trimmed.
And with the main purpose for which the film was made almost entirely removed, it is impossible to really give an objective opinion of whether it is a good or a bad splatter film.
is regarded as the film where Lewis takes his gore to some of its most sadistic extremes, while others also regard Lewis's clearly having planted his tongue in his cheek and not taking too much of it seriously as a redeeming factor.

 Review for The Gore-Gore Girls
The murders are usually committed with a slicing knife cut to the throat, after which the rapidly expiring girl is subjected to something outrageous like boiling oil or a hot iron.
To be charitable the girl did have a line of stage blood laid across her throat by the knife before the mallet went to work.
In fact, during a scene in which the killer absolutely mangles a girl's face what suspiciously looks like half a walnut appears in the mess.

 Images - The Cinema of Herschell Gordon Lewis
he final gore film (and the final film to date) of Herschell Gordon Lewis was a reaction to the level of competition the director had come to face in the arena.
His go-go girls suffer unspeakable fates without warning, and it's up to private detective Abraham Gentry (Frank Kress) and reporter Nancy Weston (Amy Farrell) to save the day (and the lives of the few remaining dancers).
The characters populating the club (Ray Sager of The Wizard of Gore is an employee) are a rather odd bunch themselves (one man obsessively smashes fruit while watching the go-go girls strut their stuff).

The Gore Gore Girls, directed by Herschell G. Lewis, tells the story of a string of serial killings of go-go dancers and the efforts of a detective and reporter duo to track down and stop the killer.
The acting is wooden, campy and silly, the dialogue inane and tongue in cheek.
The strength of The Gore Gore Girls lies within its creative murder scenes and sheer raw pounds of brutalized flesh.

What could have been an awesome concert experience was unfortunately ruined by an inept sound engineer that seemed to believe the concert would be no good if anyone could actually hear the music and the volume therefore had to be cranked to uncomfortably loud levels.
Their set suffered from some unfortunate monotony in the music and delivery which was rather surprising as all four members showed the musical talent to cover a wider musical spectrum.
