10 Outrageously Gory Horror Films You Need To See

The Wizard Of Gore demonstrates Herschell Gordon Lewis’ developing skills as a filmmaker – his gore still looks cheap and fake, but this time there’s much more of it than was seen in Blood Feast. Women are sawn in half, eyeballs are ruptured and spikes are hammered into heads – all by a psychotic magician known as Montag The Magnificent (Ray Sager).

Montag, you see, has hit upon the perfect way to murder comely young starlets. After his audience gasps in horror as he drills a hole in a woman’s stomach, she’s revealed to be completely unharmed but is then found dead several days later, her body bearing the exact same wounds.

After one girl is set ablaze and another is crushed in a press, the magician comes to the attention of TV presenter Shelley (Judy Cler). Because the police are unable to find any evidence linking the murders to Montag, Shelley decides to investigate, but if you think you know how the story will end, you’re wrong.
