Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore (2010)



Craftily directed by Frank Henenlotter and Jimmy Maslon, this is a beautifully entertaining documentary for fans of Lewis's work.
It's like an outrageous ride through the wild world of exploitation films with often-hilarious back stories, this is a creative and enthralling documentary about the birth of the gore film, among other things, packed with great interviews, numerous clips, rare outtakes galore and testimony from the people who were there, delivers a brief experience of a decade of motion-picture madness, it's a fitting tribute to one of horror cinema's living legends; The Godfather of Gore.

Loved the final clips that taken from Chiller Theatre Expo, 2005, East Rutherford, NJ where the living legends of Two Thousand Maniacs! sings along with Lewis on the stage...."There's a story you should know from a hundred years ago..."
