The Gore-Gore Girls (1972)

aka Blood Orgy

How bad is it? It verges on self-parody.
Should you see it? If you have a strong stomach or sick sense of humor.

 There weren't any other photos I felt I should use.
Herschell Gordon Lewis' last film is his goriest and also his campiest, as it tries to go for black humor. He managed to get a real celebrity for this film, Henny Youngman, who plays the proprietor of a strip club (and who obviously didn't know what he was getting into). The girls are getting killed - in ways never used in film again. One has her nipples cut off by shears... and milk comes out... white from one, chocolate from the other. In the worst scene, a girl gets her face in the boiling oil of French fries. Youngman does his one-liners, as expected.
