Review of Blood Freak (1972) by Alyssa N — 19 Dec 2008

I can appreciate movies that are "so bad they're good", but despite all the hype, I don't think this is one of them. It's just bad. The guy doesn't even turn into a bloodthirsty chicken until well into the movie, and by then you've already suffered through way too many scenes of sleep-inducing dialogue and plot developments that can barely be called that.

I doubt the actors are all as talentless as they seem. It's obvious that they just don't care enough to try, and neither did anyone involved on a technical level, especially the cinematographer, since some shots are out of focus.

Or maybe that was just my eyes glazing over from boredom. At least if I'd fallen asleep then I would have missed one of the worst cop-out endings in B-movie history. But on a positive note, the chicken head never gets old.
