Dirty. Filthy.
24 May 2007
Dirty. Filthy. Those two words pretty much sum up 'I Drink Your Blood'. A band os satanist hippies are in the middle of a ritual when a young woman spies on them. She's caught and gang raped by our bunch of goons. The same band of hippies make their way into town where the girl and her family live. Grandpa becomes privy to whom it was that raped his granddaughter and he sets out with shotgun in hand to teach them a lesson. When he arrives at the abandoned hotel in which the hippies are holed up, the leader of the group (Horace Bones) has one of his hippie-chicks force feed grandpa a little LSD. Grandpa makes his way home and uses kitchen table wear to constitute a set of horns because he thinks he's the devil.

The next day, his grandson decides to get back at the group when he serves them meat pies laced with the blood of a rabid dog. They acquire rabies and the rest is history.

IDYB is a film that's not easily forgotten. It leaves a layer of filth on you that's reminiscent of films of its ilk, but there's just something ultra nasty about it. The hippies are grimy individuals who don't hold a sympathetic bone in their body. Do I recommend this film? You bet! This is a treat for drive-in/exploitation fans of 70's fare and is essential viewing for completists.

Is it a good movie? Well, it depends on how you look at it. It's competently made with some better than average acting, which makes the film a little better than it should be. Worth a view at least once.
