A violent gang of teenage miscreants terrorize their city with a rash of cruel practical jokes, vicious assaults, and random vandalism. When one of the hoods threatens an upstanding young man named Doug (Rodney Bedell), the gang's leader Dexter (Ray Sager) nixes the fight. Some time before, Doug came to Dexter's aid during a street brawl, so he feels that he owes him a break, but only one. Doug isn't intimidated by the gang and doesn't shrink from a confrontation when he catches them bullying a group of children. With Dexter's obligation met, the gang begins a campaign of harassment that targets Doug's girlfriend Jeanie (Agi Gyenes), and the violence quickly escalates beyond control. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

Cult filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis directed this outrageously campy story of an all-female motorcycle gang called The Man-Eaters. The butch, chain-wielding women pick men to service them from a line-up, fight with male bikers, and hold orgies. Nancy Lee Noble (The Girl, the Body, and the Pill) appears as a naive recruit named Honey-Pot, and there are the usual decapitations and crucifixions which the viewer might expect from the director of Blood Feast. T-shirts bearing images of the film's flamboyant poster ("Soft, HELL!") became trendy among urban teens in the 1980s. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Disguised as a teen-warning film, this supposedly racy exploitation item from cult director Herschell Gordon Lewis seems charmingly old-fashioned today. High-school teacher Marcia (Pamela Rhea) lands in hot water for teaching sex-education, so she decides to hold the classes in her home. The parent causing trouble is overprotective because he had to get married young and feels trapped. He ends up having an affair with an old floozy who gets pregnant because her daughter Randy (Nancy Lee Noble of She-Devils on Wheels) has been replacing her birth-control pills with saccharine. There's a gang of hoods around, whose leader Pike (Roy Collodi) leads a gang-rape of Randy and tries to assault Marcia before he gets caught. Randy's mother has a bloody abortion on her sofa, there's a sappy love story, and the school principal talks to the camera, warning viewers that every high-school is like a keg of dynamite. Lewis himself wrote the loopy theme song, a teen father's lament featuring a crying baby set to surf music. A lot of laughs for fans of trashy camp. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Unseen for many years, this vampire epic from cult director Herschell Gordon Lewis runs over two hours in length. Bill Rogers (Shanty Tramp) plays John Stone, who becomes a modern-day vampire after drinking some imported brandy. The usual phony gore and wretched dialogue follow, and Lewis appears as a British sailor. The director considered this his masterpiece, which could be why he allowed minor scenes to go on for far too long and included more dialogue than in most of his other, more enjoyable gore trifles combined. Luckily, Lewis was yet to deliver his most outrageous and entertaining films, The Wizard of Gore (1970) and The Gore-Gore Girls (1972). ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
