[Inspector Abberline]

Godfather of Gore: Herschell Gordan Lewis.
Anybody with even a grudging respect for Mr lewis should check out this documentary made by Basket Case director Frank Henenlotter. It pretty much goes over every film he and his buddy Freidman made from the early nudie cuties right up to GORE GORE GIRLS and beyond where he became a marketing guru.And While none of the info is particularly ground breaking or new to anyone who has read about him,its nice to see H.G Lewis and friends talking about the good old days...While most doc's get bogged down with too many talking head shots and a plethra of geeky fan boys paying homage, they manage to keep it to a minimum with the likes of David Friedman, Joe Bob Briggs, John Waters and Frank Hennenlotter.I have to say I find most film doc's fairly redundant,your either given regurgitated 2nd hand information verbatim or you just end up hearing someone gush about the first time they saw the directors film....well you do get that here also but with added tongue...
