MCT:May 13, 2008Incisive if slightly hyperbolic film depicting grudge-addled southern rednecks reenacting their own small-scale Antietam. (or Sharpsburg, if you prefer, but then the film might as well be called Two Thousand Patriots.)

Most HG Lewis movies are dam near unwatchable....(and not because of the cheap ass gore effects). But this one is a keeper! Where elese can you witness cackling EC Comic book hillbillys hack up a woman with an axe-AND listen to some GREAT bluegrass music at the same time? Skip BLOOD FEAST...see this one!

MCT:May 6, 2008Two Thousand Maniacs" is a wonderful Brigadoon-esque film about two groups of Yankees who become guests of honors for the southern town of Pleasant Valley's centennial. What these "guests" don't realize, though, is that they are going to be murdered in bizarre (and I mean, BIZARRE) fashions because of a war lost by the south 100 years ago.
The festivities include a woman being dismembered and barbecued, a man being quartered with four horses, and the infamous "barrel roll" sequence where a man is pushed down a hill in a barrel that has nails driven into its sides.
The movie altogether has a wacky, feel-good charm (despite its gruesome nature) that keeps you smiling, and you'll surely be singing its theme song after the movie's over! I sure as hell was. -
MCT:April 25, 2008Only Herschell Gordon Lewis can come up with something as maniacal and silly as the racist white ghosts of the civil war era trick yankees into coming into their ghost town for a festival that is actually held for the murdering and bloodshed of said yanks. Lots of gore and red stuff flying around in this surprisingly violent 60's flick. Fun to watch.

Two Thousand Maniacs! is the second installment in the sleazy classic "Blood Trilogy" by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It is a superb film and very important to the gore genre. This early splatter fest features enough carnage(and very realistic-looking blood for its time) to compete with any of today's modern gross-outs.
The premise is simple enough. Travelers are lured to a small southern town full of blood-thirsty Confederates seeking revenge on Yankees upon the centennial of the end of the Civil War. Fooled into thinking that they are the guests of honor at the town's centennial celebration, the travelers soon find themselves in the middle of barbaric blood rituals with seemingly no means of escape.
While the acting is a little sub-par and exaggerated at times, it does not detract from the film but, rather, adds to the sleaze factor. The action slows down a little toward the end, however, the ultimate conclusion is unique and quite chilling. Overall, Two Thousand Maniacs! is a very worthy watch and a great addition to any gore hound's collection.
