For me, Blood Beach is one of those early 80's horror's that I can watch repeatedly and not get bored and It's one of the rare unintentional horror comedies as this is so poorly filmed and acted with almost no plausible special effects, that the seriousness in which this is shot comes off as hilarious.
Basically someone or something is making beach goers disappear. Initially the police either assume that they've either drowned or are the victims of a serial killer, however when a search of the beach turns up nothing, police are puzzled. More and more people go missing, but the attention of the police is renewed when a young girl is buried in the sand by her friends and is attacked in full view of everyone. She is pulled from the sand with bloodied legs. That coupled with a potential rapist getting castrated right in front of his would-be victim, has police realising that they are after something other than human.
A further search uncovers the beasts lair along with various dead bodies and body parts and they decide to set an explosive trap for it to blow it up. The monster is captured on camera and once it is in the right spot the charges are set off and the beast is killed. However as people start to return to the beach, sinkholes start appearing in different parts of the beach indicating that the beast either spawned or that blowing up a large carnivorous plant is not the best idea, but that's where the movie ends.
As said earlier the movie is very silly but it's a lot of fun. It's supposed to be a serious outing but it's almost as if the film-makers were deliberately poking fun at themselves. The monster itself looks like some kind of rubbery mutated man-eating cactus. The only actors I recognise in this is Burt Young from Rocky and John Saxon who seems to love being overly serious and angry in every B-grade movie there ever was.
Blood Beach is an 80's gem that is actually begging to be re-made by someone who will give it a proper budget and updated special effects as the original film is very grainy, it at least deserves to be touched up and re-released. Not many people know of this movie and those who do don't give it much consideration which is kinda sad as it's a great horror story. If you manage to track down a copy of this then grab hold of it.
