The Gore Gore Girls
A young reporter enlists a top notch private eye to solve the murder of a female stripper at a Chicago nightclub.
Why it matters
A gleefully gory grindhouse whodunit that blends sleazy 1970s Chicago noir with outrageous practical effects and black comedy.
- Herschell Gordon Lewis, the godfather of splatter, cranks up the gore with inventive, unapologetically messy kills that still shock decades later.
- Part murder mystery, part exploitation showcase—expect lurid set pieces and a lurid dive bar atmosphere dripping with sleaze and neon.
- Perfect for fans of cult grindhouse who appreciate the lineage from early splatter to modern gore fiends.
- The film’s tonal swings between camp and carnage make it a fascinating time capsule of ‘70s underground horror aesthetics and DIY effects wizardry.
