The Wizard of Gore (2007)
The Wizard of Gore… wow. I don’t know what else to say. This movie is a shining example of how to do a remake. It isn’t a carbon copy of the original. It tries to add depth and meaning to the story and characters and while it may be debatable as to whether or not that was a successful attempt, kudos to the filmmakers for trying.
The cast is phenomenal. Brad Dourif (the voice of Chucky in the Child’s Play series, Rob Zombie’s Halloween), Jeffery Combs (House on Haunted Hill, The Re-Animator series), Crispin Glover (Nurse Betty, The Doors, Willard), Bijou Phillips (Hostel II, Venom, Almost Famous) and Kip Pardue (Driven, Undiscovered, Bitter/Sweet) are just some of the fine actors who turn in incredible performances in this deliciously gory and twisted tale. And definitely check out the appearance by the Suicide Girls – gorgeous.
The Wizard of Gore is an admirable remake of a slasher movie classic and a must see for all bloodlusting gore-hounds.
Quick Review: Nudity, violence, gore… what else do you need? Necessary viewing for anyone and one of the best slasher movies ever made.
