Herschell Gordon Lewis is widely recognized as the father of splatter cinema. His "Blood Feast" introduced audiences to shocking, gory scenes (it must've looked especially grotesque way back when, as audiences had gotten used to the limits imposed by the Hays Code).
Lewis died in 2016, but not before gracing us with one last movie, released after his death. "BloodMania" is an anthology film, with the segments (each introduced by the master himself) ranging from the bland to the lovably gory, and even one functioning as a satire on the media.
It's no match for Lewis's directorial debut, but horror fans will probably enjoy it, if only for a couple of shots of the girl group. I hope to see more of the guy's movies in the coming years.
