About what you'd expect from Herschell Gordon Lewis

Aside from Frank Kress (who played Abraham Gentry),an appearance by Henny Youngman and the last seconds of the movie, there really wasn't anything particularly good about this film. Why it is currently rated 5.3 and adored by some reviewers is beyond me--the film is 99.44% crap...and exactly what I would have expected from director Hershell Gordon Lewis. In the 1960s and 70s, Lewis was known for making a string of incredibly low budget exploitation films, such as BLOOD FEAST and MONSTER A GO-GO. However, in recent years he's been christened "the father of gore" and he has many, many fans--fans who ignore the ineptitude of his work and only focus on how groundbreaking some of his films were. But apart from the liberal use of fake blood and real guts, at heart, his films are pure crap--and don't believe scores of 9 and 10 for his films. This would be like putting a velvet Elvis painting in the Louvre!!

The film is about a string of very grisly murders that happen to strippers. When I say gruesome, it's very bloody and sick for 1972--though by today's standards the special effects look amazingly lame. So, while some very deviant and cruel murders happen in the film (I'd rather not explain them--they ARE from a pretty sick mind and show a particularly sick disregard for women),at least they won't nauseate you because they were done so poorly. It's obvious that in many cases they are cutting apart rubber dolls and mannequins. But to have them doing some of the sick acts, even if unrealistic, is pretty nasty and shows a lot of misogyny.

The only hope in the film, as the police are all idiots, is a guy named Abraham Gentry--whose mannerisms and style of speech are very close to the stock actor, David Lochary, from the early John Waters films. While his acting is bad, he is so flamboyant and funny that he kept my interest. He could be pretty funny and oddly this is the only film he ever made!! It was also odd that so many women wanted him--especially because they just didn't seem like his type.

As for the rest of the folks in the film, they are cretins and idiots who could not act. In fact, I was kind of hoping MORE would be killed--they really had it coming! None of their acting was the least bit believable and apparently the director NEVER re-shot a single scene--as most of the scenes in the film were worse than any of the ones in Ed Wood's masterpiece, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. In fact, for many of the women in the film, the only prerequisite for their appearing in the film is that they be willing to take off their clothes. Now I know this will sound pretty mean, but most of them were incredibly unattractive and looked like drug addicts who strip to get their next fix. When these ladies take off their clothes, men in the crowd give them money to put it back on (wow--Henny Youngman SHOULD have said that in the film)! But, considering Lewis' budgets, these were probably the best "actresses" he could get.

Overall, a sleazy bucket of bile that manages to be worse than most of the director's other films...and that's saying a lot! It's violent (yet dumb),anti-women (treating them like meat and things to be mutilated) and is thoroughly incompetent from start to finish.

Entertainingly tawdry horror splatter junk

Various sexy gals who work as go-go dancers at a seedy nightclub are murdered in assorted gruesome ways. Obnoxious and sarcastic stuck-up private eye Abraham Gentry (an amusingly smug performance by Frank Kress) persuades spunky reporter Nancy Weston (lovely Amy Ferrell) to pose as a stripper in order to catch the killer. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and writer Alan J. Dachman treat the sleazy premise as one big sick and nasty black joke; the wickedly funny gallows humor at work here is certainly cruel and mean-spirited, but nonetheless still often uproarious in its very cheerfully unapologetic crassness. The gleefully over-the-top gore set pieces are truly something to behold: one gal's face gets smashed into a mirror, another has her head smashed into a gooey pulp, one lady's buttocks are savagely spanked with a meat tenderizer, a fourth victim has a hot iron pressed on her face and her nipples are cut off so her breasts can bleed milk (!),and yet another woman has her head dunked in a bowl of French fry grease. The fact that the make-up f/x are extremely cheap and shoddy only enhances the pervasively scuzzy atmosphere. The acting for the most part is laughably awful, with stand-out stinky contributions by Hedda Lubin as sassy waitress Marlene, Russ Badger as the dim-witted, hot-tempered Lt. Anderson, and Ray Sager as fruit-smashing ex-Marine Vietnam vet bartender Grout. Of course, we also get a pleasing abundance of tasty bare distaff skin on display. Henry Youngman as jolly strip club owner Marzdone Mobilie tells plenty of hysterically bad jokes. Alex Ameri's crude, unpolished cinematography, Lewis' wonky redundant score, and the ragged editing all further add to the picture's considerable scroungy charm. A total schlocky hoot.

They say this is banned in Australia(the same country that sells porn magazines to 15 year olds).

I have so much to say about this movie but I must start by explaining that the plot summary is completely wrong.The reporter isn't ditzy, the private eye isn't sleazy and she only asks him to solve one murder. I will submit a correct summary, maybe they will use it. Anyway, the on screen title of this movie was Blood Orgy, even though this site doesn't list any alternate title. It also says the rating is X and that too is false.So the movie....I really don't know what to think of it. There was so much dumb stuff that it's hard to know if they were purposely trying to make it dumb. It starts off with the private eye putting his cat in a cupboard and then he is never home again for the rest of the movie. Then the reporter knocks on his door and above the knocker there is a piece of paper with his name on it that is taped to the door. The tape is under the paper and you can still see it.You can tell his "home" is really a hotel room even with the constant tight shot. He goes to a strip club and is rude to the waitress. A different waitress brings his drink but she acts like the first one. Are we supposed to think it's the same person? And he doesn't pay for the drink, even though he pays lots of other people just for information. Later the same exact thing happens with the waitress again. For the first half of the movie it sounds like the microphone is too far away from the actors, while most of the second half appears to be dubbed and sounds like they had their faces pressed against the microphone. At least a third of the movie is average looking women dancing like idiots to stupid music. They have them stripping to circus music and military marches and it's just a silly waste of time. At one point the guy flags down a taxi(the only other moving car in the entire movie),he walks up to the drivers door, opens it and tells the elderly driver to take the passed out drunk girl home. And the driver does it! Did I mention that he's making bad jokes all the time? Or that he talks to the camera a few times? Or that the gore effects may be the worst ever put on film? I didn't even get to the story. Oh well. Despite all the silliness, it's not a bad movie. Give it a chance.
