I can suggest some *interesting* ones for you. Honestly, save for a couple parts, 'Mondo Cane' is the easiest introduction.<br /><br />That said, it doesn't truly prepare you for the insanity that would follow. It's tamer than the rest for sure.<br /><br />As for your Italian films, I have just one name: Argento.

I'm not too familiar with Mondo films but I'm slowly working through a lot of the Italian stuff that I need to catch up on. Some of it's hard for me to really get into but I've enjoyed most of what I've seen. Thanks for dropping by, fellow Midwesterner!Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-24941284377423908242013-08-29T19:22:28.211-05:002013-08-29T19:22:28.211-05:00Greetings from a fellow Midwesterner. A few days ...Greetings from a fellow Midwesterner. A few days ago I watched Blood Feast, having never seen HGL's gore films. Wizard of Gore was the first recommendation after that movie. It was so damn weird that I had to see what reviewers said; yours was the first blog accurately capturing the WTF-factor of this goofy little chestnut.<br /><br />Montag's speech about reality and illusion reminded me a little of the "Criswell predicts" ramble from Plan 9 From Outer Space. Even more than that were the jarring musical cuts between what the audience saw, and what Montag was doing to his victims on stage. They saw quiet tricks, while he was sifting through gibblets like a demented entrail panhandler.<br /><br />Have you considered reviewing any of the Mondo or cannibal films from Italy? Granted, not all Mondo films fit the horror genre, but they're certainly odd.<br /><br />-Matt from MNMatt from MNhttp://jdtheman.com/owvl/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-59745422949250346462013-08-27T22:06:03.872-05:002013-08-27T22:06:03.872-05:00Ugh.

Sure.<br /><br />Even the good Actors like Combs and Dourif did nothing for me. Trust me- you won't be missing much.<br /><br />That said, definitely check out more HGL films. Anything after 1972 comes with a warning of 'It may suck though.'Alec Pridgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857871218588846213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-80347171818688471922013-08-22T01:02:36.244-05:002013-08-22T01:02:36.244-05:00The is a an interesting remake of this one, which ...The is a an interesting remake of this one, which is worth a curious look for its attempts to update this film and does feature Crispin Glover on top oddball form, it even has both Jeffrey Combs and Brad Dourif aswell to a lesser extend members of the Suicide Girls trying to act convincingly. <br /><br />Worth a look especially for its corkscrew like approach to the plot, but like this one it is disposable fun at best.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-79992514418928801172013-08-21T13:31:41.061-05:002013-08-21T13:31:41.061-05:00Those movies are all in my Netflix queue (except C...Those movies are all in my Netflix queue (except Color Me Blood Red, I'll have to look that one up) so I'll get to them eventually!

WoG is one of the later ones - do check out his original trilogy (if you haven't already): Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs! and Color Me Blood Red. Gruesome Twosome would come next - and finish it all off with The Gore Gore Girls. (I can't WAIT to read your review of THAT one!)<br /><br />Spot on Michele!
