Nothing so shocking in the annals of horrors… The Godfather of Gore's original splatter masterpiece was a huge influence on everyone from John Waters to the makers of Friday 13th - a mad mix of the kitsch, the weird and the downright deranged. A psychopathic caterer is preparing a meal for Egyptian goddess Ishtar and needs body parts - cue limb lopping, tongue tearing and eye gouging galore. Newly restored and soon to be re-released to new audiences by Arrow!
“The films of H.G. Lewis are impossible to defend, and therefore he automatically becomes one of the great film directors of all time.” John Waters
Preceded by:
GWILLIAM (5'45) // Dir. Brian Lonano
The outrageous new short film from Brian "Crow Hand!!!" Lonano.
