My newest favoritest movie is Meredith Lucas' 1988 Blood Orgy of the Leather Girls - a story about a gang of teenage punk schoolgirls who take no shit & spend their time in violent mischief making. When one of their members is victimized, their violence becomes more focused & revenge is had with .45s, shotguns, LSD, straight razors, power drills and meat cleavers.
Lucas' first movie is crude & awkward as one might imagine but is also primal, visceral, passionate and strangely poetic. Unfortunately it was also her last. Despondent over debt & the inability to find a distributor for the film, she eventually committed suicide. source
Eventually her brother got the movie released on VHS tape. Amazon hosts 2 copies for just under $80 here. I downloaded a bit torrent here.
In this blogpost, however Michael Lucas comments that he will still send duplicate tapes for $12 (in the comments section).
This saturated noir movie, dedicated to Susan B. Anthony, is a must see for all hard core, weird grade Z movie fans.
