[DVD Details]
 
 
  • An entire town bathed in pulsing human blood from madmen crazed for carnage! The 2000 Maniacs of a small Southern town celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Civil War by forcing a handful of Northerners to serve as "guests" for a variety of macabre, blood-crazed fun and games. The festivities include a screaming man placed in a rolling barrel lined with nails, a hit-the-bull's-eye carnival game with a pretty gal and a boulder, and a blonde sexpot whose arm is hacked off and barbecued! But before they can slaughter the only smart Yank (Thomas Wood), he and the lovely Terry Adams (Connie Mason, "Playboy's Favorite Playmate") try to escape. The second film in director Herschell Gordon Lewis' infamous "Blood Trilogy."

    It's boring, it's shrill, and it's obnoxious.

    Herschell Gordon Lewis' follow-up to Blood Feast is a lot better and offers some laughably cartoonish violence.

    Apesar de importante na gênese do gore, Lewis era um péssimo cineasta, roteirista, compositor e diretor de fotografia. Mas, como Ed Wood, seus filmes têm o charme da ruindade.

    It would be unkind of me to intimate that Herschell Gordon Lewis' cracker revenge fantasy is a documentary, but I can't help but see a little bit of truth in it.

    It's films like this that give B-films and Southern hillbillies a bad name.

    Notable only for its unconvincing gore and bad acting.
