In his act, the Wizard makes it appear that he's eviscerated lovely volunteers from the crowd, though in the end they seem unharmed. Or are they? After all, they show up eviscerated later, with huge doses of a weird drug in their systems.

There comes a moment in every teenage horror nerd's life when she discovers the work of Herschell Gordon Lewis, and spends several consecutive weekends watching freaky shit like 2,000 Maniacs, Wizard of Gore, The Gore Gore Girls , and many other amazing freakouts featuring vaguely subversive plots and lots of animal entrails. At least, there came that moment in my life of horror nerd-dom, and maybe that's why I'm so excited about this remake of the Lewis gorefest featuring nubile ladies and sheep guts. I think what appeals most is that this is one of those rare remakes that does justice to the original by updating it both in terms of plot but also production values.
