Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964)


Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964)

It was in 1963 when director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman decided to leave the production of nudist films and opted for making horror movies. In those years, independent cinema was on the rise and the two filmmakers took advantage of being out of the studio system to push the envelope further and give their audiences more in terms of violence and sexuality. With the release of "Blood Feast", Lewis and Friedman introduced graphic gore to American horror and inaugurated the "splatter" sub-genre, beginning a new style of horror that would become a staple of the drive-in theater market. While honestly "Blood Feast" wasn't really a well done film, it was only the beginning for Lewis, as 1964's "Two Thousand Maniacs!", Lewis' next venture in the horror genre, proved that there was real talent in the savvy businessman.

In "Two Thousand Maniacs!", Tom White (William Kerwin) and Terry Adams (Connie Mason) are traveling through the American south heading to Atlanta when suddenly they are lured into the small town of Pleasant Ville by the citizens, who want them to be the guests of honor in the celebration of the centennial of an important event in the history of their town. In Pleasant Ville, they find another two young couples who were also lured by the villagers, the Millers (Jerome Eden and Shelby Livingston) and the Wells (Michael Korb and Yvonne Gilbert). Together, the six guests are invited to participate in the town's festivities without any information about what exactly is the town celebrating, however, they find themselves seduced by the charm of the southern townspeople. But they don't know that as guests of honor, they'll become the victims of a town made up of two thousand maniacs. (IMDB José Luis Rivera Mendoza)































Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity (1987)


Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity (1987)
aka
Jäger der verschollenen Galaxie

Two attractive women named "Daria" (Elizabeth Kaitan) and "Tisa" (Cindy Beal) have been captured on their home worlds and are being sent by a prison spaceship to another planet as slaves. They manage to escape from their chains and steal a small escape craft which then crash-lands on an island of a nearby planet. Traveling through the jungle they come upon a castle which is ruled by a man named "Zed" (Don Scribner) who eagerly extends his hospitality. Also there are two other survivors from an earlier spaceship crash named "Shala" (Brinke Stevens) and her brother, "Rik" (Carl Horner). While Zed appears to be friendly they soon discover that his passion is hunting and they are to be the hunted. Now, obviously with a title like "Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity" a person shouldn't expect this to be a first-rate movie. And it clearly wasn't by any means due in large part to the extremely bad dialogue. Likewise, the acting wasn't that good but both Elizabeth Kaitan and Cindy Beal made up for it with their alluring attire throughout the movie. (IMDB Uriah43) V&D

The film was condemned as "indecent" on the floor of the U.S. Senate by North Carolina Republican Sen. Jesse Helms in 1992.
