Review of Blood Freak (1972) by Jack G — 27 Dec 2008
Oh my god. I just got done watching this on TCM(!) and it's so hilariously awful and perfect. This unintentionally hysterical exploitaiton film from 1972 stars Steve Hawkes (who also wrote, produced, and co-directed) as a biker who gives a religious girl a ride home, stays with her hippie sister, becomes addicted to pot, tests bad turkey at a poultry farm, and becomes a half-man-half-turkey who goes around drinking the blood of potheads.
This is so perfect because it's basically an anti-drug/pro-God movie that includes a bunch of crazy murders by a guy with a turkey for a head. And the other director narrates the movie from time to time, it shows him sitting at a table chain-smoking and obviously flipping through the script so he can remember his lines, and his final narration is so perfect.
This movie is just so beautiful, it needs to be seen by everyone.
