AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Stevieboy666 This starts with a Manson style cult performing a Satanic ritual, which was quite popular in horror movies from this period. But when they force feed young Pete's grandfather with LSD the boy gets revenge by providing them with rabies infected meat pies. Genius! The gang were already violent but now, with froth foaming from their mouths, they embark on a senseless & bloody killing spree. Plenty of gore & action here, fair bit of nudity, a psychedelic soundtrack & some memorable performances make this essential viewing for lovers of cult exploitation. Scream queen Lyn Lowry has an uncredited, relatively minor role (she plays a mute so doesn't even speak), yet she is given much recognition for her part by distributors wanting to capitalize on her name.

dworldeater I Drink Your Blood is a cult horror flick that was pretty original for its time and most famous for being the first picture to receive an X rating for violence. When satanic hippies rape a local girl and get the grandfather all wacked out on LSD, an angry kid injects their food with rabies. When the Manson like clan finish consuming their meal, they get sick and go stark raving mad, having the once quiet rural town going hog wild from a rabies outbreak. By today's standards, the violence and gore is quite tame. However, for 1970 I Drink Your Blood broke new ground for this stuff and was quite shocking for audiences in its day. For low budget grindhouse horror, I Drink Your Blood delivers the goods. This very campy and entertaining film has blood, boobs, devil worship and rabid lunatics foaming at the mouth, running around killing people. There is a nod to Romero's Night Of The Living Dead, but I Drink Your Blood kicks it up a notch and is a great and totally outrageous film that horror and exploitation fans should enjoy. If campy, old school hippie horror is your bag I Drink Your Blood will not disappoint and you will shout back, "right on baby" with this one.

tomgillespie2002 Originally shown as a 2-parter alongside I Eat Your Skin (you can see what they did there) in the Grindhouse theatres of the 60's and 70's, the film follows a group of Satanic hippies as they arrive in a ghost town, devoid of inhabitants due to a mining project nearby. They make themselves comfortable in one of the many abandoned homes and attack a young girl. Her grandpa goes apes**t and confronts the Manson family- esque group, only to be dosed with LSD and almost killed. The girl's young brother rescues the old man, and exacts revenge by infected a tray of mince pies with rabies (!), only for the remaining occupants of the town to one by one become infected by the disease and begin a rabid, frothy-mouthed killing spree.I thought I'd seen it all when I struggled through s**t-fest Island Of Death, but I Drink Your Blood is another example of how the genius of Grindhouse flashed an exploitative and lie-filled title in my face, only for me to giddily clap my hands in excitement only to be exposed to the cinematic equivalent to an anal raping. At least Island Of Death had a little bit of gore to appease my blood lust, but this just has a bunch of hippies waving their hands around and spitting what looks like soap from their mouths. Even though the film was one of the first movies to receive an X-rating due to violence rather than nudity, it spends most of its time painfully building up to violence that never comes. Utter crud.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

bababear Because I had some excellent chicken enchiladas for supper, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD gets eight out of ten. Probably a little high, but what the heck.The story starts with a group of inexplicably clean cut and well groomed hippies who aspire to practice the Dark Arts. Their charismatic leader is a young man from India. In the group we have one Black man, one Asian woman, one young woman who's a mute, and several rejects from suburbia. Imagine a lost touring company of HAIR. Somehow they go through about two thirds of the film looking freshly scrubbed and wearing spotlessly clean clothes. Amazing.The leader assaults a young local girl. The hippies go into town (what's left of it- it's a charming New England village that's abandoned due to construction on a dam)- and stay at the old, abandoned hotel. Grandpa goes to investigate and is beaten up. Worse might have happened but his grandson, Pete, comes along just in time.Nobody knows what to do about the hippies and, of course, nobody thinks about calling local law enforcement because nobody will buy tickets for a twenty minute long feature film.Pete shoots a rabid dog and then makes his decision. Grandpa is a veterinarian, so there's all sorts of medical equipment in the house. He'll draw blood from the rabid dog and inject it into meat pies, then sell them to the hippies.Now, this was no ordinary rabid dog. The incubation period for rabies can range from ten days to as long as a year before symptoms show. This is a Special High Speed Movie Rabid Dog. The hippies are soon foaming at the mouth and rampaging across the countryside.The tone of the film is, to say the least, strange. Obviously it's a comedy: what else could explain the hyperactive musical score? Most of the characters you expect to survive do so. Most of the ones you expect to meet a grim fate, ditto.I think everyone connected with the film has done better work, probably on stage. Many of the actors give what I think of as stage performances in that they don't so much overact but perform in a way that ignores that the camera is only a few feet away.This is one that could do with an updated remake. The plot idea is sound, especially the fact that the valley will eventually be flooded when the dam is constructed. That's the climax the writer/director probably dreamed about (remember that hydrophobia is marked by a fear of water) but didn't have the money to produce.Considering that I was able to rent this for 99 cents, I say the eight out of ten rating was well deserved.
