Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

HumanoidOfFlesh A group of satanic hippies called the Sons and Daughters of Sadus after performing some black magic rituals decide to hole up in a small town.It isn't long before residents take notice of the group and their deviant behavior.After hippies beat and humiliate his grandpa a young boy Pete decides to get revenge on the group the best way that he knows by feeding them rabies injected meat pies."Satan was an acid head".Definitely."I Drink Your Blood" by David Durston is one hell of an exploitation classic.The film is filled with cheap gore and crazy scenes of carnage.The script is wonderfully weird and the characters are colorful and gleefully off-beat.So if you are into rabid hippies and construction workers and "Night of the Living Dead" bloody rip-offs "I Drink Your Blood" will certainly leave you speechless.8 hydrophobic killers out of 10.

Red-Barracuda I Drink Your Blood is an example of a counter-culture horror movie. It plays on people's fears of the love generation running wild. Not long before this one was made the Manson family crystallised those fears when they slaughtered a bunch of people at Roman Polanski's house. This flick is an exploitation movie that uses these concerns as its basis.In it a group of satanic hippies arrive at a small town. For a laugh they feed LSD to a young boy Pete's grandfather. Pete gets angry and devises a plan for revenge. He supplies these hippies with meat pies injected with blood from a rabid dog. Naturally, they turn into homicidal maniacs and run rampant.Perhaps the single most significant fact about this movie is that it was the first film to be rated 'X' for violence alone. By today's standards it's not much but there is much schlocky blood-letting in this one. The tone is more silly than sinister however and there are quite a few laughs to be had. One example is the rabid hippies hilariously over-the-top fear of water which results in them running in mortal terror at the sight of a puddle. Of additional note, the film features the feline cult actress Lynn Lowry as a mute hippy. She would go on to star in films by George A. Romero and David Cronenberg. Once again, she is a very welcome presence. She has subsequently talked about the making of I Drink Your Blood and the one thing she can remember for sure was that all the participants were out of their minds on hallucinogens the whole time. It's hardly surprising, it's a crazy film.

BigBabe0 Certainly Charles Manson deserves to be in prison the rest of his life, not just because of the murders committed by his "family" but for inspiring a bunch of movies about lethal Hippies, such as this one. (In the book "Fatal Vision," about an army doctor who tried to blame the death of his family on lethal Hippies, there's a line "Four people on acid couldn't even organize a trip to the bathroom, let alone a trip to go kill people.") The leader of this wild bunch is played by a 40-year-old Indian dancer (Indian Indian, not American Indian) who in fact is great, jacking far more enthusiasm into his performance than this flick really deserves. He detects the group ritual being gawked at by an outsider (as per the later and vastly superior "Race with the Devil") who then gets mauled by some of the group. This victim, Sylvia, staggers into the nearby largely abandoned town and collapses; the local baker woman, Mildred (this actress eerily resembles Audrey Campbell from the "Olga" series) assumes that the culprits are some nearby construction workers. Meanwhile the Hippies show up in the same town after their van breaks down, setting off the main revenge plot which is basically a reworking of "The Virgin Spring"/"Last House on the Left" (although the latter appeared a few years later). The "gimmick" here is that the Hippies and the construction workers get rabies, after Sylvia's younger brother Pete injects dead dog blood into some meat pies (Sweeney Todd, anyone?) eaten by the Hippies. According to a medical website, "contact with the blood, urine, or feces (e.g., guano) of a rabid animal, does not constitute an exposure...." But I guess we need to allow for some "artistic license..." As to whether "I Drink Your Blood" is worth your time, there's some nice violence, limited of course by the minimal budget; the mass shooting at the end is unfortunately all off camera. The actors playing the rabies victims have varying degrees of frothing at the mouth---by the way, according to that same medical website, "The rabies incubation period may vary from a few days to several years, but is typically one to three months"---in other words not an hour or less, as per the movie, but again, artistic license... Other than the Indian dude, the best performance is by Rhonda Fultz, who unlike most of the cast has a "real movie" on her credit list ("In Cold Blood"). Since she manages to inject some recognizable humanity into her character Molly, Molly's death (by her own hand) is more affecting than what happens to most of the others, plus her being pregnant and all. Bottom line, "Blood" passes the "free/beer" test---if you can see it for free and have plenty of beer handy, then yeah, go for it. By the way don't bother looking for that scary face on the video cover, it's actually from another movie....

Chrysanthepop Durston's 'I Drink Your Blood' was a Grindhouse release alongside 'I Eat Your Skin'. I couldn't get a hold of the latter but managed to find the first. It's not exactly true to its title but it delivers what it promises, for the most part anyway, which is tacky gory fun. I was expecting more gore and viscera but was a tad disappointed on that front as most of it is reserved for the final semi-bloodbath sequence. Also, 'I Drink Your Blood' gets quite slow at times (fast forward is handy in such occasions). I was a little grossed out by the white faeces spilling out of the mouths of the infected. The acting, sound effects, visual effects, cinematography and dialogues are laughably bad. Then again, the movie's titled 'I Drink Your Blood' which is funny enough.
