The narration says she was adopted “by the church,” so who knows exactly what that means. The whole thing is a tad incestuous since Grace is engaged to Patrick Bundy (Paul Prokop), who is technically, I guess, her adopted brother. Well, pretty much everything about the film is weird - and why not? We’ll all be dead soon enough, so we might as well blow our minds a bit, eh? The story concerns itself with the nightmare psyche of one Grace MacDonald (Brooke Mills), a woman who, as a child, was adopted by a church that uses carny ballyhoo to attract people to their roadside revivals. But this isn’t even the beginning of the weirdo mindfuck that is Dream No Evil. The pimp thing he seems to do on the side. You know, I’ve really got to admire any film that includes a character who is both an undertaker and a pimp. The first film is Dream No Evil(1970), directed by prolific exploitation auteur John Hayes. I had a lot of fun with these three films, each of which was new to me, though there was certainly one that I liked the least. Was it worth the wait? If you’re a fan of the golden age of exploitation then, yes, definitely. The first volume of three films was released in 2016, so fans had to wait three years for this second collection.
