I always suspected that someone made a movie like this, and am psyched to see that not only does it exist, but also, that it totally rules. Although I Drink Your Blood lacks many of the elements that makes a movie awesome like guns shooting, explosions, car chases, and dudes being dudes, it whoops serious ass on some other levels. I suspect that my readers who are way into art and books, will really like this movie.
I Drink Your Blood was made in 1970, and it's uncanny how accurately it portrays what I'm pretty sure the 1960s were really like. It's about a bunch of hippies who go to a mostly abandoned town of 40 people and try to create a society of their own, where they can be free. But they're evil and worship Satan, so beat up an old man then dose him with LSD. They also have a rat killing competition. One of them is pregnant and she smokes. Then they get rabies and the movie gets pretty crazy.
All the acting is really good, everyone is real wide eyed and very shiny looking. The soundtrack is really good too, it's all this rad 60s synth stuff. Mostly laser sounds. I wrote Lord of the Rings in my notes while I was watching, but am now having a hard time figuring out why. There's a couple of really dark free love parts. In conclusion, this movie is Totally Awesome and everyone should see it.
This review does not do the movie justice.
ReplyDeleteThe kid kills the rabid dog with a gun. I think that should count, plus there's the total dudefest at the dam that the baker woman's foreman dude works at.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw this one in a literature class based on horror films. Worth it for the soundtrack alone.
