Review of Blood Freak (1972) by Justin H — 23 Aug 2008
This movie is bad. Remarkably, uproariously bad. Picture "Reefer Madness" with a lead character that looks like Elvis Presley, a bunch of poorly-implemented christian undertones, and a killer, bloodthristy turkey man. There is not a single redeeming quality to this movie, apart from its unintentional hilarity.
The acting is terrible in the way that only a film starring a bunch of the director's friends & family can be. Even when you CAN hear what the actors are saying, they often stumble in the middle of what they're saying, trying to remember their lines.
Which brings up another aspect of the film, in that the budget must have been south of miniscule. Leaving aside the short-bus "special" effects, the crew was apparently unable to afford such things as a boom mic or a single frame of extra film to re-shoot scenes that didn't play out right the first time.
"Blood Freak" would have made for a PERFECT experiment on Mystery Science Theater 3000. So if your sense of humor leans in that direction, and you can get a couple friends together, you will love this movie in all its ambitious awfulness. :).
