He was a pioneer of avant-garde theatre, trailblazer of early Queer cinema, and remains one of the most divisive talents in exploitation/horror history. But what is the truth behind Andy Milligan and his legacy?
Milligan’s low-budget productions – such as The Ghastly Ones, Bloodthirsty Butchers, and Torture Dungeon– were predominately period melodramas fuelled by themes of sadism, incest and misogyny bathed in bottom-of-the-barrel gore effects. Yet via revealing interviews with Milligan’s performers, enablers, co-conspirators and his biographer, a portrait emerges of a gutter auteur who battled and antagonized his own demons to become one of the most transgressive outsider artists of the 20th century.
