«This is great documentary on the history of exploitation movies in America. Director Ray Greene starts with the thesis that exploitation films actually are worthy of serious discussion. He’s aware that there a laughable moments in many, if not most, of the films he’s covering, but he never falls into the “Golden Turkey Awards” mentality and simply dismisses these films. Hell, the fact that genuinely entertaining films that people still watch today were made for ridiculously low amounts of money on incredibly short schedules is worthy of some respect, isn’t it? But beyond that, Greene shows how many of these films had something to say about their culture or the auteurs who made them. And he shows how Hollywood eventually co-opted the sex and violence of the exploitation movies, ultimately dooming them to extinction.
‘Schlock’ divides itself somewhat awkwardly into three segments – part one focuses on the teenage horror and sci-fi films AIP made in the fifties and sixties, part two wants to deal mainly with the sexploitation films of the sixties and seventies, but has to take a detour back to the forties for “birth of a baby” and VD films and the fifties for nudist camp epics. Finally, part three shows how exploitation eventually went mainstream as films like Roger Corman’s ‘The Wild Angels’ and the so-called “roughies” of the sixties sexploitation industry led to mainstream pictures like ‘Bonnie and Clyde’, ‘Easy Rider’, and ‘Midnight Cowboy’. What doesn’t get included, at least to the extent I would have liked, is the roots of exploitation in the thirties and forties. This is strange considering Greene‘s film begins with footage of a play based on ‘Reefer Madness’ as an example of how exploitation has influenced modern culture. The film version of ‘Reefer Madness’ and its contemporaries get only a brief mention in this documentary as a way of laying the foundation for the segment on sexploitation. That minor complaint aside, you really couldn’t ask for a better introduction to this subject for the average viewer, and even people like myself who have read countless books and articles on exploitation film will find ‘Schock’ well worth watching for the interviews and serious perspective Green brings to the subject.»
