I Drink Your Blood (1970)

Recap:

So the hippies are coming to town, and you know what hippies are like: they are violent and they take drugs and worship Satan and are a menace to society. After they have mistreated the big sister and the grandpa of Pete, the boy discovers a rabid dog, which comes in handy for his revenge plot.


What we have here is a nasty, gory exploitation flick cashing in on the Manson murders, and it’s a bun full of fun. Usually I dislike bad movies, but this is one of the few exceptions that are REALLY so-bad-that-it’s-good! It’s not just gross, there are also many (involuntarily) funny bits in it. Also, there is a black man (person of color) , an actor from India playing the part of an Indian (native American), several men with hard hats and, in the end, even some cops in uniform, so I had to remind myself several times that the Village People had their debut not before 1977.


What really grosses me out however is how youtube handles historic documents like this: on the one hand it is age restricted, which in a way is cool, let’s protect the youngsters and leave the fun to the adults.But what nasty things are they saying that even the age restricted version had to be muted for a minute or so?Also I am pretty sure that there are a few gory takes missing, so I must ask: why the age restriction when you censor it anyway?

The only thing that comforts me is that even the youtube version is quite entertaining.
