15/02/12 Blood Freak (1972)

When I was growing up it was often mentioned how permissive, 'free' and drug-culture-influenced the late '60s and  early '70s were. On the whole, this is largely wank. For the majority of people, that era was just as drab and grey as any before or since. They worked hard, in shit jobs, for little reward and were vaguely aware of a distant counter-culture who appeared to be frequently sexing each other in flared trousers on Haight Ashbury rooftops. Or something.

One thing from that period does bear true, the drugs were potent. Well, that's the only explaination I can think of for this film; some people dropped some serious acid and decided it was a good idea.

A biker riding a seriously cabbage chopper (I LOVE cruisers/chops/vintage bikes, but this thing is total splash) briefly rides up next to a dolly bird who pulls over, smiles at him, then drives off again...

He follows her.

They go to a wildcrazyyoungfolkhippy party where five men in their forties and three hot chicks share a spliff.

People talk babble about Jesus. The sound quality is bumholes.

He's then in someone's lounge and an old guy offers him a job on a turkey farm.

He turns up at the farm and the REALLY hot hippy doris gives him a spliff.

Then some Denzil Dexter types ask him to try out some experiment drugs.

He turns into a vampric serial killer with the head of a turkey. Yes.

He kills people who all seem to die using the same repeating scream sound files.

He then wakes up in some dirt with a human head.

It ends.


It's shit.

Seriously! Look at the rake of the forks the tilt of the frame and the mid-set foot controls. Fucking shite.

Bit drunk, so I'll shush now.
