Jan 21 Whenever I hear the term “Drive-In Theater” this is exactly what I think of. Nonsense violence, trashy acting, and nonsensical story lines that promise more to bring in an audience of teens. I love it. 3.5/5 stars. See more 07/05/2017 Really schlocky, but campy fun. There's not quite as much gore as his other films, but it's quality gore and quite gruesome, funnily enough. See more 07/13/2013 Typically ridiculous Herschell Gordon Lewis opus, with a mercifully short running time. See more 01/20/2013 When some college-age girls go missing, their friends start to investigate when the police aren't much help. The focus appears to be on an address which leads the investigators to a home occupied by and elderly lady and her mentally-challenged son. The lady runs a wig business and it is learned her son kills and scalps young ladies to help his mom's business. Pretty funny with good gore. Watch with 2000 Maniacs, Wizard of Gore, and Blood Feast. See more 11/11/2012 Insane! Hilarious! A colored version of Psycho! See more 05/27/2011 This H.G. Lewis movie didn't have as much blood and gore as his other films, I think there are (ironically) only two scenes with blood and gore. And the rest is the silly main girl sneaking around like she's Velma from Scooby-Doo, except that she never solves a crime. Overall, it's entertaining, but I think this movie could have been better, even by 60s b-horror standards. See more Read all reviews
