Featured review
I love grindhouse films, especially the gore of Herschell Gordon Lewis, horror like The Last House on the Left, and exploitation films, whether they be blaxploitation, women in prison films, and even nunsploitation.
I guess that makes me weird, but grindhouse films in various forms have existed from the birth of motion pictures. Films like Maniac, Reefer Madness, and more have titillated moviegoers for almost 100 years.
This documentary does an excellent job of reviewing exploitation from the beginning, complete with uncensored clips from the movies they talk about.
If grindhouse is something you are not familiar with, then this documentary will enlighten you. It is for all those who want to know more.
