Review of Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) by Richard L — 07 May 2010
The so called second film in Herschel Gordon Lewis' and David F. Friedman's infamous " Blood trilogy" really makes the viewer yearn a littie more from Two Thousand Maniacs! due to the inresting plot line involing a former conferatde small town that was burnt to the ground by a squad of uinon troops in 1865.
Then in 1965 the towns ghost unleash a cenetianal celebration involing a series of brutal touture games involing 6 inconcent present day notherns that took a wrong turn. However suspene is non existant due to two thousand and six terrible over the top bad actors including the present of a playboy playmate , thats right HGL had a playboy bunny in one of gore films.
Speaking of the gore is it worthy act of HGL " the king of gore "? , you bet ya with scenes like a bolder crushing a woman, a man being killed by rolling down a hill in a barrel filled of nails and a woman having her arm hached of and babracued.
A nice entry to the blood trilogy ( which featured Blood Fest, Two Thousand Maniacs and Colour Me Blood Red). 4/10.
