i like exploitation cinema . i like the cheesy violence and sex and the low quality script and no budget direction that come with the genre . it fun brainless carnage pack with oddity and quirk use by director whom while try to score a buck or two also test the censorship boundary to their limit and sometimes succeed in make something that really stand out . with that clear and h. g. lewis the wizard of gore be a forgettable piece of trash with a sort of interest concept behind it . it not about it be bellow the standard grindhouse experience and the splattery violence be indeed present here and no it about the presentation and specifically about the lack of such . a magician performs trick . trick never before see and trick of a gruesome violent nature . in the opening title he cut his head with a guillotine and shortly after reemerges fully intact . after a short introduction and a few minor trick he choose a volunteer from the audience and a woman and it always a woman . strap her on a bed and then proceeds to cut her in half with a chainsaw . all be do in clear view and and we see everything . he play with her gut and innards and suddenly and just like that and she be whole again . return to her seat and shortly after the show be over dy the same way she be tear in two by the chainsaw . lovely little idea for a horror and i must admit it be the reason why i choose to watch the wizard of gore . the quality of the movie do not matter much back then a i mention already and i like the low grade cheesy stuff . but the surprise of just how bad that quality be come a complete shock to my sens . it be low and low than that which i have find entertaining and even low than that which i find dull . the only possible comparison i can think of be michael bay do a no budget film . there be no dread for horror . there be no cheese for brainless carnage . there be only some of the bad gore effect and camera work and editing and audio capture on celluloid . it an endless repetition of the same scene with just slight difference . the horrible gore get even bad and look laughable with each pass sequence . so absurd a to how lewis want you to believe a mannequin stuffed with red paint be a human body . with every minute it become more and more unbearable indeed this truly be a torture show . i will restrain myself from comment on the horribly annoy act since that be never an issue worth note in such type of film . the wizard of gore be an amateurish film showcasing horror a bad film making and in a sense it truly be terrify . such a shame because a plot like this deserve something well .
