a couple of clarify comment be in order . herschell gordon lewis contribute a brief introduction to the video release of doctor gore ( aka the body shop ) and wherein he touch upon his collaborative effort with j. g. pat patterson and director and star of doctor gore . patterson concoct the gore effect for the gruesome twosome and a few other lewis movie in the late 60 . lewis remark that whereas 2 and 000 maniac be a five gallon film ( refer to the amount of stage blood require ) and the lewis patterson production be fifteen gallon picture . lewis do not describe doctor gore a a fifteen gallon film he only talk about the film he and patterson make together . lewis have confess ( elsewhere ) that his introduction to doctor gore be improvise before he would even see patterson film . so take it with a grain of salt . this may be an unfinished film and but like some unfinished novel it do have an end . it just miss some connective tissue . patterson have definite stage presence and a dry sense of humor and help to make this simplistic show somewhat more watchable than it should be . there an extremely bare bone plot even blood feast be more complex and a gratingly repetitive musical score by william girdler . a bit of nudity and lot of skin . the entire middle section of the film involve the construction of a perfect woman while this be concentrate gore for the bloodthirsty and and laughable . patterson the director be in way over his head and but he try hard to tell his story creatively and if it possible to use frankenstein clichés creatively . but the best reason to see this film ( on something weird dvd and if possible ) be that it feature a perfect nashville weeper and bill hicks a heart die every minute . ain not it the truth .
