The Wizard of Gore
One of Herschell Gordon Lewis' ("Blood Feast") most extraordinary movies, "The Wizard of Gore" takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the relationship between gore-demanding audience and stomach-churning spectacle. With his unique stage show, small-time illusionist Montag the Magnificent becomes an overnight success. As crowds flock to witness his incredible and fantastical act, Montag recruits pretty ladies from his audience, publicly disembowels, hacks, tortures and otherwise mutilates their bodies, only to have them return, unmarked and unscathed, to their seats. But all is not as it seems...when, as if by magic, these female participants start turning up as the victims of horrific crimes that exactly imitate his on-stage violations, Montag finds it necessary to conceive of a grander illusion to keep suspicion at bay... Art imitates life imitates death in this fine slice of blood-soaked shock cinema. And it ain't all done with mirrors!
