just to get this out of the way represent just because i give this a low score do not mean it isn not an enjoyable movie . it simply mean it inferior to other movie . 1970s horror cinema seem to be in conflict with itself . it obvious that a lot of horror director of the time want to make serious and mature and realistic and truly terrify pieces straw dog and alien and the exorcist . it also obvious that a lot of horror director of the time want to make immature and cheesy and ridicule piecessuspiria and the omen and the wizard of gore . it almost impossible to believe the two polar opposite could come out of the same decade . but i guess every generation have filmmaker who grow up and those that do not . with all of that say and the wizard of gore be the only movie in the latter group that i can actually find pretty cool . it no masterpiece . i be not even sure it even worth a watch and but if you do watch it and it not that bad . the plot be very creative for a 70 movie and and that throw me off guard . i be plan on type this section of the review rant about how unoriginal the movie be and but i can not do that and for which i be grateful . the first 20 minute be an absolute blast . however and sadly and after that point the plot take a predictable average man turn detective turn strait into a pit of boredom . the scene that be initially pretty cool just turn repetitious and even a little annoying a they replay over and over again throughout the movie . by the end of the movie and you will easily start to see that you have just watch a predictable episode of the twilight zone and complete with cheesy reversal of expectation end . the acting be laughable and a you probably expect . it really sadden how such a great premise receive such terrible execution . speaking of executionshow be the gore . well and first and foremost and the gore effect be some of the bad i have ever personally see in a 70 movie . people be replace by obvious mannequin . the blood look more like ultra red clown paint than realistic plasma . gut be represent by what appear to be red and black wad of paper and look about as much like real organ a jelly doughnuts do . the actually amount and intensity of the gore isn not even that special . this be an exploitation film and so and obviously there be go to be a decent amount and but it nothing compare to today standard whatsoever . the pretentious loser who call this the gory movie of all time and or even one of them and really need to watch popular movie . just because a movie be obscure like this one do not mean it gory . just because a movie be popular doesn not mean it make by weak pansy . in this case and that generalization i just make prof true . but regardless of all that and this be still a decently fun movie . it isn not go to make you throw up and but it will make you laugh and and there nothing wrong with that . if youre a hardcore horror fan that must see any and all horror film and this isn not go to be the bad you see . if youre just a casual viewer and there be no reason for you to even waste your time here . go watch a takashi miike movielike gozuand you will get the same experience and but with a much good story and much good production value . if you want over the top gore in similar style and check out brain dead . there be just no reason to watch this movie unless you absolutely be force yourself to do so . overall and the wizard of gore be fun and but not fun enough . it gory and but not gory enough . the story be creative and but quickly fall into clichés . i give it credit for try and and i be glad i view it and but it no classic . then again and neither be most of the movie that be label such . negative .
