Bloodsucking Freaks

[thedokta@yahoo.com]

In my humble opinion this movie is to bad movies what "The Godfather" is to good movies. Any time a movie features a scene in which a naked woman wearing a sex toy flashes an art critic who is then shot in the neck with a dart by a dancing, afro-wearing, sadist midget.. well you've got yourself one hell of a movie. Master Sarduu is definitely one of the sickest celluloid villians ever. His prediliction to keeping naked women as pets/theatre victims is nearly as atrocious as his twisted sexual deviancy. His one endearing quality is that he hired Ralphus on as his help. Their onscreen rapport is comparable to the great screen couples of the past Bogey/Bacall Tracy/Hepburn Ralphus/Sarduu? My one question about this movie is this... Is there any way Ralphus could have survived and if so could "Different Strokes: The Next Generation" be far off?

If that one guy's mother makes better movies, now THATS the kind of woman i want to meet.  
Seriously though, where do you get a bunch of semi attractive (plus 1 hot blonde) girls to parade around as a bunch of naked madwomen, smearing themselves with raw flesh and blood?  I've seen the old Dwarves album cover with the girl covered in rabbit blood--but it still can't top bloodsucking freaks!
I first saw this movie on a lark, i rented a bunch of weird movies to watch when i got this sack of 'shrooms, i watched it 3 more times when i was sober just to confirm what i saw.  Changed my life!  I used to spend all my extra money on underground comix and zines--but Bloodsucking Freaks made me a convert to the whole low-budget-no-budget-independent-horror genre.  Plus, you can rent movies, comix and zines you have to lug around with you in bulky protective boxes until you die.

I give this movie the Infinite Star Rating, forget just thumbs up, every organ on my body that can point is up for this one!

This flick was the lamest cheeziest s**t I ever saw. Bloodsucking Freaks has the charm of low-grade porno. It has no noticeable plot, sorry-ass acting ,and confusing scenes. Bloodsucking Freaks can only be apreciated while doped-up(the only way I prefer to watch cheeze like this).   NOTE: I never said I didn't like it.

The film has a couple of links with the "real world."  There really was a Sardou who wrote plays, guided by a belief that the women in plays should be "tortured."  Alfred Hitchcock took some pointers from this playwright.  Also, Louis de Jesus played an Ewok in one of the Star Wars sequels!  I saw BF in college and, like others, had to watch it again to verify what I thought I had seen the first time.  Ralphus and Sardu have great onscreen chemistry.  The movie reeks of bad intentions.  Check it out.

If only Ralphus and Sardu had directed the Tonya Harding Honeymoon tape. I see Tonya lifting up her wedding dress and Ralphus shooting a blowdart into her ass.

This is one of the best movie's I have ever watched.  The funniest thing in the movie is the scene about three minutes in the movie that showsa chain dangling in front of a bright light for a minute and fifteen seconds.  The sad thing is you know that when they were making this movie some guy (probably Kaufmann) was saying, "I've got an idea for this great shot of a chain in front of a light.  It's going to look so cool."

I think your mouths would make interesting Urnals

Who really likes this trash-epic? BLOODSUCKING FREAKS is one of the most god awful films ever. And I know it is even though I have never seen it. And I will never stoop so low to see this trash flick. Just crap filmaking at it's best. Whoever likes this film is a pervert, psycho, and a Snuff film fan auteur. The people who like this film (and I am talking about these people on this site who reviewed it and said "I loved it") should be ashamed. To those on this site who have said this was a bad film (and I know their are few people who said that), the more power to them for avoiding this trash-cinema. Let this be a lesson: horror and nudity harly work in films anymore. The director, and the critics on this site, should realize that the porno years of the 1970's is over. Porno's are dead! In fact, nudity really sucks in films. Thank God I have avoided watching this God awful film. I can make a better film than this. I'm all for peoples own opinions, but I can't believe that these reviewers like this flik just because of the nudity. Really pathetic.

Truly the Citizen Kane of the sleaze genre. I have watched it over 50 times
unfortunately with Mark Hollyoak ( see above ) and JESUS!!! HE'S EVEN GOT A DOG
CALLED RALPHUS!!!
See it once and be shocked, see it twice to be repulsed, see it 50+ times and call
your dog Ralphus.
If you like John Waters and Herschell Gordon Lewis, thi is the film for you.

Okay, I like a fair number of "bad", sick movies -- Japanese tentacle porn, early John Waters, Redneck Zombies, and so on -- but then there's Bloodsucking Freaks. I've only turned off two movies in my life due to depravity, and this is the only one of the two that was interesting enough to remember. Hell, I even had the poster in college, but I'll be damned if I ever sit through more than the first half of this crap.

God help me, I love this movie! They used to play it at the $1.00 Show in my hometown every year (and under a different name each time). I remember it was a huge deal to get in because the show was only for 18 and over; It took me a few tries to get in on a fake I.D., and was it ever worth it! This move has scarred me for life-I can't eat a hot dog without thinking of the final scene.
P.S. Amazon.com has a DVD "Directors Cut" for sale-I can't imagine what the hell they left out.

   Oh for Gawd's sake -- they made a point of punishing the bad guys in the end, so can't we just get over all the moral scruples stuff already ?!?!? What more could you need ?

   I saw this movie in the mid-Eighties, when it had the reputation of being the holy grail of must-sees. I asked the local video library, but the guy there (who resembled the vampire in Fright Night) said "Absolutely not -- I refuse to have that filth in my shop!"  I then asked his co-worker, and smoothly borrowed this flick and took it home !

   I watched it with a copper and his fiancee.  The copper was making a point of turning up his nose at it for a while, but then he saw the "operation" scene, where a "doctor" drills open a girl's skull and sucks her brains out.  The copper laughed manically, incontinently, unstoppably, and we had to pause the tape for a few minutes to let him finish ! His fiancee bravely managed the sort of two-second smile that Miss Elizabeth used to do whenever Macho Man Randy Savage was getting carried away, and that was her sole comment on the entire film.

   The standout for me was not so much the bumcheeks-as-dartboard scene, but the guillotine blade held open by the rope being placed in a girl's mouth... while she has her head on the chopping block and while someone is spanking her... No, prospective viewers, I won't tell you whether she screams....  You should all be ashamed of yourselves for reading this far anyway.

I don't care what anyone says, this movie is really good considering its obvious budget and poor acting.  My friends and I had a lot of fun with this movie!  It's a shame that there are so many prudes in the world who'll write this movie off as having no entertainment value.  After all, none of it was meant to be taken seriously!

This film, along with REDNECK ZOMBIES, BLOOD SALVAGE, and many other classic(k) B-Movies, is the definitive trash epic. I just finished watching it, and it is a Natural classic. RENT IT, BUY IT, STEAL IT. Do whatever it takes to see this hilarious masterpiece.

P.S.
For all of you people who didn't like this flick , dismissing it as sleazy-crap, remember this- IT IS ALL DONE AS CAMP!! IT IS A J-O-K-E!! I'm 14 and if I can see that, surely you can.

Sick and twisted. It would be disgusting for me to say I loved this film but I bought it and I watched and I watched it again. So I guess I liked it. What a sick piece of trash though. Naked chicks getting tortured by a midget! I don't know what to say. I'll give this one a 3.5/5.

I watched this once with a friend who enjoyed violent sick films. After it had finished he said he "felt dirty" and "violated" and ashamed to have watched it. I mean the guy actually acted as if he'd been raped. I just absolutely laughed my ass off for days afterward.

What can you say about a film so over the top that it produces such reactions. It just proves how stupid prudes are in todays society, the more you laugh during this film, the more sense you have - it's fantastic.

It has the most nudity I've ever seen in a movie, the most sickening torture I've ever seen in a movie and the greatest bad acting maniacal midget that will ever appear anywhere. Thats got to be good for you.
