Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Rainey Dawn Horror film? NO. Thriller film? NO. Good story? No. Soft-porn? Sorta - mainly yes, and a terrible one to boot. Cheap wannabe soft-porn trash.The film's summary reads: "A sex-crazed nympho helps speed along her father's death so she can use the inheritance to help out her depraved boyfriend." - and that's exactly what the film is. The problem with the film is there is way to much focus on the sex-craze and not enough focus on a halfway decent story and plot. About every other scene is a soft-porn scene. Really boring. If I want to watch soft porn I'd find a soft-porn film to watch - I was wanting a horror film. This is supposed to be a horror film not a terrible soft-porn film that it turn out to be.Worse than cheesy horror -- the real horror is the film itself and not the story as we are lead to believe. This is a real trash fest.1/10

NickStricharchuk Blood Mania: A scumbag doctor is blackmailed by a former associate to fork over $50,000 in hush-money for performing illegal abortions. To make matters worse, one of his despicable bed-ridden patients has a slutty daughter that won't take "no" for an answer-- she just wants some scumbag doctor sex! It doesn't take long for the daughter to realize the doctor needs a lot of cash--stat. Finally, she has the opportunity to make the doc her personal sex-slave boy-toy: murder dad! This movie seizes every opportunity to take the low road: it has a great deal of nudity, perhaps to distract the audience from the fact that the characters are all generally nasty and repulsive. It's more of a sleazy, soft-core porn/soap opera than it is the horror film it bills itself as. Pay no attention to the opening credit sequence, as it has nothing to do with the rest of the film. For cartoon fans, there is a wickedly cool animated title card at the film's opening.

kevin olzak 1970's "Blood Mania" was, like its companion feature "Point of Terror," a showcase for writer-producer-star beefcake Peter Carpenter, who always made sure that he'd score with every beautiful babe within reach (sort of a poor man's Paul Naschy, minus talent). Despite the titles and ad campaigns, neither film remotely qualifies as horror, although those who consider each to be 'horrible' shall receive no argument from me. This film seems to have the more notorious reputation, but features far more nudity than the other feature, particularly from the stunning Maria de Aragon, who effortlessly steals it as Victoria Waterman, dutiful daughter of a wealthy invalid (Eric Allison) whose will leaves all his money to her younger sister Gail (Apr 1972 Playboy Playmate Vicky Peters), despite the fact she'd been away for seven years. A major plot point easily missed is that the reason she left was because she'd had an incestuous affair with Daddy, eerily depicted in the nonsensical dreamlike sequence behind the opening credits. There is of course Daddy's doctor, Craig Cooper (Peter Carpenter), being blackmailed by a scumbag who won't even be put off by the naked advances of the buxom Mrs. Cooper (Oct 1967 Playboy Playmate Reagan Wilson), who is abruptly dropped after being raped. Little is made of Gail's older lesbian companion, played by Jacqueline Dalya, busy 1940s actress and veteran of "Charlie Chan in Rio" (Joel Marston, of the 1949 Charlie Chan finale "The Sky Dragon," appears in "Point of Terror"). Both Maria and Jacqueline had worked with Carpenter before in "Love Me Like I Do," which, unlike the others, was not misleadingly advertised as a horror film. The lighthearted nurse is played by Leslie Simms, who received the bulk of the new footage shot for the TV version of this film, 24 excruciating minutes altogether. In for two brief scenes is Alex Rocco, soon to graduate from low budget affairs like "Blood Mania" and "Stanley" to Coppola's "The Godfather." The nudity is frequent and gratuitous, but frankly that's all this feature has to offer; still, no one can dim the luster of the luscious Maria de Aragon (who again worked for director Robert Vincent O'Neil on 1973's "Wonder Women"). "Blood Mania" debuted on Pittsburgh's Chiller Theater on Nov 27 1976, paired with second feature "Gargoyles" (1972), appearing as a solo feature three additional times through 1982 (like the rest of the Crown International TV package, "Point of Terror" followed closely, in Feb 1977).

Michael O'Keefe Robert Vincent O'Neill directs this low budget exploitation flick about greed...and sex. A young sex-crazed woman plots to kill her bed ridden father for his money. There is some complications. Her own sister is actually the beneficiary and she has uses for the inheritance. Plus the dying man's own doctor would like to get his hands on the money to pay a blackmailer, who is wanting to out him for some abortions in his past. The young sleazy Dr. Cooper(Peter Carpenter)has more than enough scenes shirtless and in the company of a pretty topless or nude admirer. Not a lot of gore, but some moderately disturbing images in the film's final moments. Pretty lame and forgettable, except for the nudity. Others in the cast: Maria De Aragon, Vicki Peters, Eric Allison, Reagan Wilson, Arell Blanton and Alex Rocco.
