361. Doctor Gore (1973) aka The Body Shop

September 30, 2014

This was a fun movie. J.G. Patterson, Jr. wrote, directed, produced, did the makeup and special effects for, and starred in this film (as Don Brandon). Clearly an inspiration for films like 'Frankenhooker', 'Doctor Gore' featured a mad scientist intent on collecting female body parts and building the perfect woman after his wife died. Along with his hunch-backed assistant Greg, the doctor finally succeeded in bringing a body back to life to be his eternally devoted concubine, dedicated to fulfilling his every desire. Of course things went awry, as they tend to do when you kill a bunch of girls and reanimate a corpse. It isn't a benchmark in competent film-making, but it did have some quality special effects (as seen in the clip below). If you're looking for a good time, I'd call 'Doctor Gore' an entertaining place to look.
