Review by Roger Carpenter
In October 2016, Arrow Video USA released an astounding, 17-disc Blu-Ray package of films by exploitation king and Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis. The package contained 14 of Lewis’ finest—as well as some that were not so fine—exploitation gems of the 1960’s and 1970’s. The package focused on Lewis’ gore films, for which he is mostly remembered. However, the set also contained many of Lewis’ most beloved non-horror exploitation opuses such as Moonshine Mountain, Scum of the Earth, and She Devils on Wheels. Loaded with hours of documentaries, commentaries, and other extra features as well as a hardbound book, this set represented the pinnacle of collector’s items for hardcore Hgl fans, but at a cost that many fans could not afford. Shortly thereafter, Arrow began releasing the films in standalone packages that were priced in such a way that everyone could afford the discs.
