As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Ambitious low budget fare that despite the obvious enthusiasm of all involved never quite comes together as a whole. The ritualistic Manson like cult opening is promising and certainly much more satisfying than seeing a bunch of hard hatted construction workers running around with white foam around their lips.This should probably have been even more apocalyptic and far reaching or kept down at a much more manageable level and stuck with the hippies in the woods scenario, even if they didn't seem much like hippies. I can't really recommend this except for the fact that the movie undoubtedly has real fans who consider it 'great' and will travel miles to see it. That in itself is interesting and maybe it would be possible to get drunk with mates and sit around and laugh at it. But is that enough?

Like basically all low-budget exploitation flicks (which are all of them) the movie starts off like an incredibly bad one but by the end you're absolutely taken by its insane and extreme events.And this movie is real crazy, which is saying much, since this isn't exactly the first silly exploitation flick that I have seen. It has such an insane concept, with lots of exaggerated violence in it. The movie features a bunch of terrorizing hippies that deliberately get infected with rabies and start to go totally crazy after that, causing even more havoc in town.This movie is definitely an enjoyment to watch for the genre fans. They won't be disappointed with any of its blood, gore and violence as well as some other typical exploitation elements in it, such as the obligatory rape and nudity.But I of course can't really claim that this is a great movie. It's still a very simplistic, cheap looking and clumsily done film but at the same time this of course really still adds to the overall charm of the movie, so it shouldn't prevent any of the fans of the genre from ever seeing this movie.Really not the best or most recommendable exploitation flick out there but it sure is still entertaining, especially more toward its end.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Revolting, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD is as good an argument as I've seen for censorship; it proves, again and again, that there are some movies that simply need never be made at all. What entertainment value is there in a succession of scenes of unbridled animal cruelty? (If you're one of those who pull over to examine roadkill just out of morbid curiosity, you'll feel right t' home here...) I won't soil my hands enumerating the atrocities to which viewers are made privy in this one, but I will say this: some very good production values are totally wasted here. Low budget, despite what these kind of films would suggest, does NOT mean "low brow." Unless your whole intent is simply to gross out the viewer. (In which case, this one's a howling success.)

I am one of those who will never forget this movie's ad campaign, which advertised a double bill of this film and a movie called "I Eat Your Skin". If you already know "I Eat Your Skin" contained no eating of skin, then it will not come as a shock to you that "I Drink Your Blood" is not about vampires, and aside from an opening scene where a little blood is swilled, the focus of the film is not on blood drinking at all. It does turn into a freaked-out pseudo-zombie film in the vein of "The Crazies".A weird hippie and his small band of followers spend their time taking acid and conducting Satanic rituals. Their Satanic, wanderin' ways bring them to a little town on the verge of being completely abandoned; when they begin to terrorize the locals, a little kid gets revenge on them by injecting meat pies with the blood of a rabid dog and feeding them to the hippies, who then go on a homicidal rampage. When a group of rowdy construction workers also get infected, the spit really hits the fan.The ultra low budget gives the film a rickety appearance; you will either love it or hate it for that reason. Personally I loved it and think it's one of the best examples of a crazy 70s drive-in flick. It makes no sense, but there's a definite uneasy feeling going on throughout the whole thing, not the least of which is due to the obvious Manson family references. The violence is also often disturbing, and if the special effects are not always convincing, the eager spirit of things is enough to get under your skin.
