I Drink Your Blood - The Inzomniac's Movie Madness Review.

I Drink Your Blood
USA 1971. Director: David Durston
Cast: Jadine Wong, Ronda Fulz, Lynn Lowry, George Patterson

A gang of Manson-type hippies moves into a small town where they begin to practise weird rituals. An old (very old) sheriff comes knocking on their door and the hippies immediately start to humiliate and nearly kill him as well. The old sheriff's grandson witness the whole affair and decide to mix rabies virus in the hippie's food. Fun joke. It's not long before the hippies are turned into long-haired drooling mad mutants and goes on a bloody and hillarious murder rampage.

You yourself can mix together Night of the Living Dead, The Crazies and Shivers and you have this extraordinary cheap Jerry Gross production shot in New York. Director Durston is not George Romero, though, and his cast is made up of nobodys. Except for lovely Lynn Lowry who is the wife of legendary director/producer Dick Lowry and was also seen in, surprise, both The Crazies and Shivers as well as Cat People. Anyhow, I Drink Your Blood is okay as a pastime. And it's at least a little cool watching slobbering ugly hippies running around killing hillbillys violently. And the rat chase at the beginning is a hoot. Unfortunately I can't say much more about the film, I seem to have thrown away my tape.
