"Filmgore" is another of those horror compilation tapes that turn up in bargain bins and older video stores. As such, it does its job, but leaves much to be desired. First off, I think Elvira really needed some new material for this. Her jokes are beyond lame for the most part and more an annoyance than anything (I ended up fast-forwarding through them). Second, many of the scenes used on the tape are not particularly gory; more suitable clips from more suitable films would've been nice. However, what this compilation DOES have are condensed versions of several notorious gore flicks: "Two Thousand Maniacs", "Blood Feast", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (notorious but not gory), "Driller Killer", and "Snuff". Basically, if you are unable or unwilling to find copies of these films, you get the condensed versions of them here- if you want to see any of them in their entirety, however, be warned that most clips give away the films' endings. Of course, in the case of "Snuff", that is a good thing: you can see the infamous ending without wading through the rest of the film. Several other films are represented here, including the god-awful "Carnival of Blood" (which will most likely make you fall asleep even in this edited version) and the unintentionally funny "Drive-In Massacre", which features a REALLY funny decapitation and a great ending that must've been hilarious when it was shown in actual drive-ins. So if this material appeals to you, by all means go out and rent "Filmgore". Just don't expect a very polished or well put-together presentation.
