just for the hell of it isn not exactly the cinematic masterpiece herschell gordon lewis will be remember for . lewis make himself immortal among horror or cult cinema fanatic a the godfather of gore while a nickname he earn because he be the first one to direct horror movie where blood and gut and gore literally burst from the screen . movie like blood feast and two thousand maniac and the gore gore girl and the gruesome twosome truly represent hg lewis repertoire and lifework and whereas just for the hell of it be merely just a rapidly produce and nonchalantly elaborate story to cash in on the contemporary popular trend of juvenile delinquency thriller . there no actual story and particularly the first full hour of the film feel like a compilation episode of america funny home video represent the bad kid edition . it basically just a series of amateurishly edit together clip show a gang of youthful thug pull prank and commit petty crime in their area . at first their prank be quite pitiable and laughable ( wet people with a garden hose and smear pie in a salesgirl face ) but they gradually turn into harsh crime and near the end of the film they even turn to gang rape and murder . the gang member refer to themselves a destruction inc which be quite the apt name since they surely like to break all kind of stuff and vary from people mailbox and living room and snack bar and boat and even baby carriage . the plot only just start to unfold itself after an hour into the film and when a courageous boy stand up against the vicious gang but then get falsely accuse and threaten and target for vengeance . moral of the story represent look the other way when violence be be commit near you . just for the hell of it be an okay film if youre into cheap and extremely low budget 60 exploitation and but it definitely contain too many overlong sequence of padding and repetitiveness . it just plain boring to watch a bunch of people demolish all the furniture in one and the same room for five whole minute . the acting performance be below par and a to be expect from this type of poverty row film production and but it nevertheless quite funny how these juvenile delinquent be depict by actor and actress whore all at least in their late twenty . the gang last crime on the beach and particularly the denouement form the undeniable highlight of just for the hell of it because these sequence be shock and vile and and the use of make up effect in these scene finally state clear that youre watch a h. g lewis flick . the theme song be also very exhilarating and catchy and so i will give an extra point for that as well .
