A mad killer targets the strippers of a famous nightclub, disfiguring and massacring them one by one. "The Gore Gore Girls" represents a kind of "manifesto" of H.G. Lewis' cinema: minimal script, debuting or little-known actors, irony and comedy (sometimes unintentional) but above all rivers of blood. Torn throats, faces dissolved in acid and burned in boiling water, severed limbs, and much more in this sort of catalog of atrocities; all realized with very artisanal and unconvincing special effects but, precisely for this, often funny. In short, Lewis' film manages to offer a bit of healthy fun, but if you want suspense and tension, look elsewhere.
