This Stuff'll Kill Ya!

About This Movie

This Stuff'll Kill Ya! is one of those quirky gems that captures the raw, unpolished essence of early '70s cinema. You’ve got this redneck con artist posing as a preacher, which sets up a wild clash with the local townsfolk and a determined federal agent. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflective of its time, but that's part of its charm, really. The themes of greed and deception are wrapped up in a distinctly Southern atmosphere, making it feel genuine. And let’s not forget the practical effects—they're not overdone, but they serve the story well without taking you out of the experience. The performances, especially from the lead, really ground the film in a way that keeps it engaging.

This Stuff'll Kill Ya! has had a pretty interesting journey on home video, with a few DVD releases but nothing too extensive. The film's scarcity makes it a bit of a hidden treasure, particularly for collectors looking to explore the offbeat side of '70s cinema. Its unique blend of crime and drama, combined with a Southern gothic feel, has sparked a niche interest among genre enthusiasts.
