This is one of the first movies i saw on video when i bought my first VCR and it has always had a special place in my heart.
All it is a compilation of some of the goriest, violent images ever produced in motion pictures. What makes the film so entertaining other than the decapitations, dismemberments and extreme bloodletting (hey its all fake folks and i was a 21 year old testosterone filled young man when i first saw it) is the story line behind it that ads a clever and humorous if i may say so touch.
SPOILERS
Cameron Mitchell plays an owner of a video store. Patrons come in and ask for a scary movie to rent. Something that is going to make their skin crawl because they claim they have never been scared before. Then the owner (Cameron Mitchell) shows them clips of movies they might like which you the view also see on your screen. The violent images escalate as the patrons range from a bookwormish nerd , construction worker, and female dominatrix who claims she has never been scared her entire life.
The film contains scenes from from little known B level horror flicks and a few of the more violent mainstream movies but your guaranteed to not ever see anything in it this film or like it anywhere.
A classic that should be brought back to DVD for halloween parties and the like but then again it just might be too violent for this day and time, who knows.
