Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
nly cult enthusiasts will appreciate The Godfather of Gore as cinema history. The rest of us are left with a bunch of great stories about cheerfully unsavoury characters.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
This entertaining portrait of the legendary exploitation filmmaker is probably more fun than actually watching his films.

Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com
While I can't say I learned a lot about the man behind the boobs and blood, I learned a lot about the boobs and blood.

Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies
It would be naive not to expect bad taste in a movie about bad taste.

Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto
Initially enjoyable, the doc grows overindulgent of its subject.
