 Disappointing
Submitted on: 2009-10-17 |

| I was excited to see Crispin Glover in a remake of the HGL classic The Wizard of Gore. Unfortunately, this movie bored the heck out of me and was not the least bit interesting. Take a pass on this one. |

 Not Much of an Homage

| The updated Wizard of Gore has the look of an episode of Tales from the Darkside or one of those movies that I used to watch on cinemax at midnight on a Sunday night in the late 80's because I wanted to somehow prolong the weekend. Rather than pay homage to H.G. Lewis, this film sets a dark mood, with low lighting and looming shadows, and attempts to put the plot first, over the gore. The gore is actually very well done, but is not nearly as prevalent or gratuitous as portrayed in Lewis's films. While the acting is much, much better than anything in a Lewis film, lead actor Kip Pardue gets way too much screen time, while Crispin Glover is somewhat wasted. Glover comes off suitably demented as Montag, but the bulk of his performance is on stage performing his act. I would have liked to have more verbal interaction with other characters. Ultimately, I became bored with the various plot twists and especially Pardue's character. This isn't a horrible film, and seems fairly ambitious in gore fx and casting (Brad Dourif & Jeffrey Combs both perform admirably as usual) given the obvious budget limitations. The problem is linking it with H.G. Lewis. This Wizard of Gore looks nothing to me like anything Lewis would ever come up with, which makes it fairly misleading as far as I'm concerned. It's too bad, because there are some things to appreciate here, just not enough for me to recommend. |

| Mr. Glover made it so! I really liked this one, especially cause I thought I'd hate it. The original film was cheesy and awesome and fun in its own right. But these old films have something of an advantage over the remakes. Time. In my humble opinion, remakes usually suck. Especially with the crutch of technology. Somehow this one worked for me - not crazy about the all the cgi in the more recent movies, but Mr. Glover brought it home! Good for the collection. |

| if your a big suicide girls fan you might like this movie but I say might cause they are only in it for such a short stead the "magic" that is performed is was kinda interesting but at best I'd say rent this or rip it cause it is really weakly acted and I don't know I just get the feeling with the video/"film" quality it should have been way better like the director spent his royalties on blow and hookers while he "directed" the film... and I'm sorry be crispin glover just couldn't carry this film alone |
