Rating: - I Drink Your Blood - I Eat Your Skin!!!!
Directed by David Durston (Stigma). A band of Satanist hippies lead by Horace Bones (Bhaskar) roll into a town and begin terrorizing the local folk, raping a local girl who's grandpa goes after them. He fails and is given LSD. This bothers his grandson and he gets back at the hippies by feeding them meat pies infected with blood from a rabid dog. They turn into crazed lunatics and begin killing and/or infecting everything in their path. I DRINK YOUR BLOOD is also know as PHOBIA. The movie is like NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD meets Charlie Manson in this gore-drenched 1971 drive-in classic. After consuming rabies infected meat pies, an LSD-addicted hippie cult goes on a vicious murdering rampage! Heavily censored since its original release, this infamous landmark of cinematic brutality is being presented uncut in all its blood-splattered glory!

Rating: - One Wild Movie!
I first saw this movie in a drivein movie theater in Pasadena,
Texas.It was part of a twin bill witl "I Eat Your Skin".I first
thought the mpvie was going to be a vampire movie.Was I ever wrong.I turned out to be a movie that I have never forgotten.
The movie takes place in a small town.A band of Satanist
hippies set up camp in the town.The hippies first rape and beat
a girl.Her grandfather goes for revenge and is beaten and fed
LSD.The grandfather owns a bakery where his grandson works.He
decides to gain revenge.He kills a rabid dog and draws blood from the rabid dog.He injects this blood into the meat pies that he then sells to the hippies.Shortly thereafter the hippies
become violent and wild.They start foaming at the mouth and
begin attacking each other and people that live in the town.They
commit murders in many various ways such as decapitations.The
whole thing is very gruesome.You will never see scenes like these.Order is finally restored.The movie ends with the little boy walking off into the sunset.I am glad that this cult classic is now available on DVD.I never thought thatI would be able to watch this movie again.Be sure to watch this movie.You
will never forget it.

I Drink Your Blood is one of the best Drive-In /Grindhouse flix of the 70's.Still packs a punch and a few kicks.Twisted,Bloody,and funny.Yes, b-movie funny.Manson-like/Satan/Hippy Cult on L.S.D infected with rabies attacks small town.Yep,could happen.
Rating: - this movie kicked my butt
i thought this was insane,the pace this film moves at is way faster than some of the other drive in nightmares of the 70s.
you could say this film lives up to its cover art,well maybe not but what film in the 60-70s did.the only reason the art today lives up to the film,is they just take a picture of the crew,amp it up on a computer and another crummy modern day poster yuck!!!!!!!!well the extras where ok the interviews etc.
i liked the trailer, but the trailers for other films was not my thing.the lost scences from the directors cut where stupid.
i like the theatrical cut,forget the directors.
Rating: - Simply Amazing
Wow, where to start? Well first off I should say that I love the horror/zombie/gore stuff. Although this was totally exploited by Fangoria, this is still not a mainstreem movie, and those seem to be the better ones.
Anyway, this movie is really spectacular. One of the biggest problems I, and other fans, seem to have is that most horror movies don't keep us interested, until the last fifteen or twenty mins. But this is an exception. Although the whole movie is not one, big climax it still keeps your interest.
The movie is not as gory as a Lucio Fulci, or H.G. Gordon Lewis film, but it is still has more blood and guts than Friday the 13th or a thriller type of movie.
So basically a hippie cult stays in this tempoary ghost town, due to the construction of dam, and they end up teasing and terrorizing a small boy and his grandfather. To get revenge on them the kid goes out to the woods and kills a rabid dog. He just happens to work in the only bakery left in town, for the time being, so he infects some meat pies with the rabid blood from the dog. The hippie cult eats them, bcomes infected and basically go insane. Pretty original if you ask me.
So anyways, this movie is very well directed and pretty decently acted for a low budget. The main leader of the cult, Horris, probably gives the best performance out of all of them.
The movie has some pretty creepy shots, what with dead bodies, severed heads, blood, and of course the foaming of the mouth. It just has a generally eerie feel to it, as horror movies should. So I can definitly see why Fangoria picked this for a midnight classic. But don't be fooled by their website, you can get this DVD at other stores besides theirs.
So all in all this movie is terrific for the true horror fan. If you choose to pass on this one, well, your loss my friend.
Thanks for reading.
