"Scum of the Earth" truly belongs to the best of what Herschell Gordon Lewis directed at the beginning of his career and it doesn't bother at all that this film lacks nudity. This is a story about what people are like, what they pursue, and how they stop at nothing. It's not a story that is excessively brutal, but it has that destructive edge that fully manifests itself in the end. Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed this from Herschell.
