Review of Bloodeaters (1980) by Dc F — 10 Mar 2014

The basic story of this film, and yes, it's pretty basic, is that the evil government decides to ruin a fun time for some hippies by spraying their hidden pot crop with an experimental crop poison. Yes, this idea has been done before and better. Anyway, some of the hippies get the dust on them and turn into zombies. To their credit, they take a cue from Burial Ground--Nights of Terror and utilize weapons and even torches! That's pretty much the plot, with some dummies running around trying to avoid being killed and partially eaten. The acting is non-existent, but I was somehow able to get over that. I was disappointed by the level of gore(aren't I always?). The musical score was, by and large, totally inappropriate for the action, although occasionally it was creepy. Often times, it sounded like a comedy score.

Also, the director was killed in the 9/11 attacks, if you didn't know. That might actually give the movie more fame than being on the Nasties list. This film is not nasty, it's silly. But, that doesn't mean you won't be entertained.
