Review of A Bucket of Blood (1959) by Robert B — 28 Jul 2008

"a bucket of blood" is an occult flick made by enlongating one episode of "twight light zone".

The story begins with a nobody with an absurd artisitc ambition to gain himself some respects from the beatnik artists in local cafe, then he achieves that by casting clay on real corpses that means he's got to continue murdering people to maintain his status of genius. then his final work would be himself hung around a rope.

If you always feel the twight light zone episode is not long enough to linger, "a bucket of blood" would be a good passing time entertainment. one sentence to term rod serlying's eccentric beings under his wondrous creations: the vain peculiar struggles made by petite people whose lives are demeaned by their charater flaws, so their seek another dimension to escape their miserable existence of insignificance, the twight zone. you witness an odd mercy bestowed upon those people while the audience secretly emphasize with them, indulging in such soothing morbidity where its popularity prospers. hopefully my term would be adequate.
