Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
videorama-759-859391 God forbid, if they did a remake of this. Bloodsucking Freaks is one distasteful torture show. Sardu, a sadistic theatre host, runs these macabre shows with his midget helper, only the participants aren't that willing. They're slaves, forced to perform. One harsh critic gets his just desserts, which may'be too, you audience will for watching it. Bloodsucking freaks is disgustingly sick, features some real graphic violence: frying eyeballs, be headings, a sledgehammer, bashing a skull in, sending forth a a gross expulsion of blood from a mouth way, drilling a skull, then sucking blood out of it with a straw, as if it was one of those coconuts drink. Do you want me to go on? The film is just downright sick and nasty, the depraved midget creating a few laughs, where it's great to see Sardu and his small friend get it at the end, where they're fed to the brainwashed freaks, like pieces of meat. An eye for an eye. These freaks once human, have been broken down, hence the title. The movie does have some comedy going for if partly a saviour, but really no saviour at all. This cultish film is just sick, for an audience of the lowest denominator, and the hardcore fan, where this piece of crap may just make their night. One scene has a teen nude girl, bush showing, losing her head, where the others have lost their mind. Checkout the killer cover. Sick with a capital S.1.5/10
Fuad_Ramses_IV Blood... Sucking... Freaks. Now there's a title that's an understatement, evoking the mental imagery of a vampire smoking crack and prancing in the fields, but this isn't that, at all. This incredible torture show is an intricately preposterous tale of sadism, theatricality, and deception; deceptive in that it markets itself as a forgettable "the-title-is-the-best-part" type of movie, but it deviates from that formulaic cliché of a just another horror movie and becomes a comic exploitation fiesta of pure depravity.First off, the film is spiritually comprised of three films. It's the ill intentions of "The Wizard of Gore", the theatrical delusions of "Theater of Blood", and the sadistic endeavors of "Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS". It's a series of B-quality sensations that unfold in a fascinatingly implausible way, where as our protagonist Sardu is an arrogant sadist whose delusions of grandeur send him nonchalantly on an overlooked killing spree disguised as "art".Sardu kills women on stage in front of an audience, but it's only a show after all, albeit that severed hand sure does look convincing. And so does that gouged-eye, that drilled finger, and pretty much every act of sadistic violence towards women on the stage... Though after an overly- stubborn critic denies Sardu of this simple reality, Sardu decides to convince him the hard way, but once an actor, always an actor, or so the critic believes, in his refusal to believe Sardu at all.The sheer daftness of the premise deems it hypnotic in its way to seamlessly bring you from one act of mind-boggling murder to the next, and it does this on a perfect balance of serious demented cruelty to laughably sadistic fetishist behavior. Played brilliantly (and as an unexpected swan song) by Seamus O'Brien, Sardu is cocky, cruel, and downright debonair as he gambles women's digits, narrates acts of murder, and brainwashes bimbos to kill more bimbos. Together with what's either his black or Mexican midget sidekick, he truly is an unsung hero of the exploitation circuit, who had an undeniable charm as he balanced his cues and contingencies perfectly.Blood Sucking Freaks is a film like you've never seen before. It laughs at its audience while laughing WITH its audience, since you know you'd have to be a little off-the-wall to enjoy a movie like this, but if you're already privy to the infidelities of cult films and B-movie beauty, then this torture show delivers on all accounts exceptionally. A debonair jerk and a black-ish midget try to convince a stubborn critic that they're *actually* killing the naked women that they torture and humiliate on stage in front of a live audience. Yes, this movie does exist. No, I didn't make up that plot. Yes, sobriety of narrative may not seem present. No, it's not condoning you do drugs. And yes, this movie is irregardlessly THE most awesome movie ever released, in the history of time and space.
deepfriedbaloney333 Lets face it, for 1976 there were probably no movies around like this. The exploitation and overall rediculousness of the movie is quite ahead for the time. The movie has an insane amount of torture and nudity, which is... OK? The movie did not have good acting, and I thought the plot was weak. There's over the top movies, and then there's the point where your skipping ahead cuz its getting too repetitive.In the end, if you wanna see a movie with 1976 grade torture effects and lots of nudity and over the top exploitation. See it. If you're looking for a movie with decent acting, plot, or simply diversion its not your movie.
toyman1967 I just got done watching this vile, disgusting, utterly repulsive piece of cinema............and I loved it!!!!!! This MUST be the inspiration for Eli Roth's Hostel. There are MANY OMG moments in this "movie" but my favorites were the "doctor" drinking the brains and blood out of a woman's skull with a straw, the midget getting "head" from a decapitated body and the "ass" dartboard. Listen for the sound effects when the midget pulls the darts out. UGH!!!!! The makers of this movie are not what we call normal. They set out to make a nauseating, sick, perverted movie and they succeeded on doing just that. I like my horror movies off-the-wall and that describes this one to a tee. If that is your type of horror film, then this is for you. The Jason, Freddy and Michael Myers type need not apply.
