This Stuff'll Kill Ya! is a 1971 film directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis[1] and starring Tim Holt and Jeffrey Allen. It features Holt's final film appearance.[2]

Plot

A con artist acts as a preacher to run his moonshine distillery in a small town in the Deep South and clashes with a number of locals and a federal agent bent on shutting his operation down.

Production

This Stuff'll Kill Ya! was filmed in Checotah and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Critical reception

Film Threat described the film as "long, dull and boring" with "stilted dialogue and static direction."[3]; critic Jeffrey Kauffman, as an "oddball entry," "patently silly," and "Uneven at best and hilariously inept at worst (in the Lewis tradition)."[4]; and DVD Talk, as "unyielding creepiness,"; the same review stating that "[i]t also doesn't help that Allen's performance - which permeates almost every frame - is grating to no end, while the story absentmindedly stumbles around with no clear focus."[5]
