Herschell Gordon Lewis "Month" trudges along with She-Devils on Wheels (1968)

Wow. And I thought Something Weird was bad. At least that, while unbearable, was still recognizably a HG Lewis film; this thing looks like it coulda been done by any hack with a camera and access to a lot of hogs. Most noticeably, it's missing Lewis's half-cocked sense of humor -- and Christ, this film needed some humor. Even unintentional humor would have helped salve the bleeding. Notable only for a weirdly abrupt ending which cuts the movie off about twenty minutes short of the running time listed on the DVD. Thanks to whatever higher powers may be for small miracles like that.

Grade: D-
