Title: Blood Freak (1972)
Post by: Nukie 2 on October 17, 2008, 09:53:15 PM
Sorry, I know there is a comments section.
I just got finished watching it, thanks to my free netflix trial-- my conclusion: I'm baffled.
What was the target audience?
What was the moral of this movie?
So adultory is ok, or atleast its okay for women to dress in skimpy outfits?
So, I should become hardline-Christian, and not smoke pot and eat turkey or else I'll become a turkey-headed mutant?
Was this film serious?

BLOOD FREAK is Gawd's secret way to tell you that he loves  you.    :smile:

this would make perfect sense if TCM was going off theair as of dec 31 but otherwise is pretty ridiculous


QuoteA biker comes upon a girl with a flat tire, offers her a ride home. He winds up at a drug party with her sister, then follows the sister to a turkey farm owned by her father, who is a mad scientist. The father turns the biker into a giant turkey monster who goes after drug dealers.


hahaha some intern with a phd in filmography had to type that

That's the part I always wondered about.  The scenes with the narrator smoking and coughing while he lectures about the evil of drugs seem to indicate an awareness of irony.

But he quotes passages, and Herschell goes through with being saved.

However, for a Jesus freak, she certainly dressed provactively, and we saw her sisters pert ass.

Can somebody just explain in simple terms how this movie portrayed Christianity?

The hero Hershell is a confused young man who meets two sisters, one a bible reader (named "Angel") and the other a potsmoking slut ("Ann").  Hershell is tempted by the evil sister, slips up just once by smoking some super-addicting pot, and eventually becomes a turkey-headed killing machine (a not so subtle metaphor for sin).  Angel reads Bible verses to Ann and she repents of her sinful ways, and she and Hershell kick drugs together and apparently get married and live happily ever after. 

It's presented with apparent sincerity, but has brief nudity and gore and I'm not so sure nudie-film director Brad Ginter believed any of it.

It is portrayed as the best alternative to turning into a turkey headed, blood drinking monster.
