Hey! I was right!

Only picture I could find from the movie that wasn't awful.

The Criterion Channel is showing how open-minded they are by making several gore movies by Herschell Gordon Lewis available.

For some reason, I liked Lewis's movies better than Ed Wood's even though Ed Wood put some effort into it. Lewis's earlier movies were just an excuse for series of nude scenes. His later movies were an excuse for a series of gore scenes. And, this apparently works pretty well if you have no talent or ability.

But I just watched most of The Gore Gore Girls (1972). He put some effort into this one and it was terrible. It was more repulsive, but he also put some effort into the plot and characters and he was just no good at it.

You know how you watch a zero budget movie, and you think that if the people who made it just had some money to work with they could probably make a pretty good movie? I never got that feeling from Herschell Gordon Lewis. The Gore Gore Girls proved he couldn't do it.
