Review of I Drink Your Blood (1971) by Jason R — 03 Sep 2009

It's 1971 and for one small town having their backwoods city visited by a van load of hippies is no big deal, but wait these aren't normal hippies. No, they are devil worshiping hell raising social miscreants. After the LSD loving, Devil lovers attack an old man, and a girl, a angry young boy takes a rabid dog's blood and bakes it into pies at the bakery where he works, and when the Manson-like clan of hippies comes looking for food, you guessed it a nice slice of rabid meat pie is what they get.

Take eight hippies once mild and very misguided, and introduce rabies and you have crazed flower children murdering, and reeking havoc everywhere they go.

I Drink Your Blood is a horror classic in every sense of the word, a great genre piece with lots of gore and sub-par acting to wet any horror hounds whistle. The DVD box says that I Drink You Blood is Night of the Living Dead meets the Manson clan and I couldn't agree more.

If you love the watching the old Drive-In horror films from the 70's then this is one of the best, and is require viewing for anyone who loves the genre.
