Two Thousand Maniacs
Directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis
Psychotic Southerners torture six Northerners during a Civil War celebration in gore godfather Herschell Gordon Lewis' politically incorrect masterpiece. Lured to the centennial bash, the Yanks quickly realize they're to be subjected to macabre, blood-crazed fun and games. One's placed in a rolling barrel lined with nails, while another has her arm hacked off and barbecued! Will any of them live to see another day? Lewis' gleefully gross BRIGADOON-homage paved the way for the entire backwoods horror genre - from THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE to WRONG TURN. Contains violence and gore.

The grandfather of the backwoods slasher , this was Lewis' second film and a huge improvement on his first. Goofy , camp and real nasty, way ahead of its time
Excellent. Badly dubbed, badly edited, shot poorly in some places but excellent.

The confederacy will live on!! -Dangerous Dave
