Review of Hardgore

Hardgore (1975)
7/10
psychedelic roughie
15 February 2012
Made in the heydays of porn this flick surely has something to offer. It's an utterly 'roughie' and it shows in so many ways. It is really a weird flick on all accounts. First of all it doesn't has any credits, not in the beginning as at the end, it suddenly stops. Secondly, none of the actors in it made it in the scene, most of them stopped around 1976. The only name that made it as a producer/director is John Seeman. Finally the film was almost unfindable but Alpha Blue released it years ago on DVD but even that version went into obscurity. And if you can find it than you will see that the reel had a lot of scratches.

If you want to get some info surrounding this flick you will not find anything. Who directed it is a mystery but he surely knew his stuff. One scene were the doctor has sex with the victim is really beautiful filmed and the part were the victim walks into a corridor towards a room is done like they did in the horrors from the seventies.

The score used was surely made on a LSD trip. Most of it is pure psychedelic and some did remind me of Cannibal Holocaust. To look to this flick for the script isn't worth it. It do has a bit of a story but some scene's are well done by filming, others are just without directing especially the orgy scene's.

I have seen the uncut version and that clocks in at 62 minutes, still it is sometimes a bit too long. But what make sit notorious are the scenes with the satanic rites. Guess they were on LSD when shooting that. On the other hand this is the roughie with the most amount of blood. There is some actual slicing of a throat and one part is even a decapitation with a guillotine were a girl is taken from behind and just when she wants to cum, bang, she looses her head. Talking about giving head. There's a bit of semen coming out of that dick but it must have been tricked because a bit further our main actress is getting a bukkake by some dildo's on the run. In between a lot of lesbo sex there are some nasty horror elements too. One is the necrophilia were ones the necro has cum the dead bodies come alive. There are even girls hanging on a hook by their neck and some intestines are shown.

You see, sick as hell this is. Still magazines like Cinema Sewer or dedicated compilation DVD's with trailers never mentioned this flick because it's really sick. I thought that Water Power (1977) was brute than I surely recommend this sleazefest. Rougher then Forced Entry (1973) the original one. straight from the sewer, Hardgore
