I Drink Your Blood (1970)

Directed by David E Durston

Movie Review by Al Fleshrot

Summary
A group of Satan worshiping hippie acid heads rape a girl who is spying on their ceremony, and then set up camp in an abandoned motel. The girl's Grandpa decides to take care of business with a shotgun, but gets roughed up and drugged instead. The girl's little brother kills a rabid dog in the woods, and gets the bright idea to poison the satanists with its blood. He collects a sample, injects it into some meat pies at the bakery, and convinces the baddies to buy them. Back at the motel the hippies enjoy their meat pies and soon start feeling like crap. One of them wakes up in a rabid state and kills a sleeping comrade, and then chases one of the women. But she escapes into the welcoming arms of some horny construction workers. They have their way with her, then take her back to base camp and she does the rest of the crew. Next morning the entire construction crew has rabies and they run around with machetes and axes trying to kill everybody. Finally, the law shows up and kills all the infected people.

Review
This is Grade A cheese from start to finish - the acting, the music, and the story. And worst of all it's not even a real zombie movie! (I got roped in because the movie description mentioned zombies). I'm not an expert, but apparently people infected with rabies travel in packs seeking out healthy people to kill or infect. The rabid horde kept getting bigger, mostly thanks to an overzealous slut who sleeps with every man in the county. I guess the spread of infection and search for fresh blood sort of puts this movie in the zombie genre. Albeit extremely cheesy, the special effects are the best part of the film. Lots of blood and body parts getting hacked off is always a good thing. This isn't scary at all, mostly because you laugh at how stupid it is. You really don't need to see this movie.

Best Zombie Kill
After eating the meat pie, one of the hippies wakes up in a rage and stabs a sleeping acquaintance multiple times. Then for good measure he hacks off a lower leg, picks it up, and then chases one of the women out of the hotel.

Best Zombie Death
Two of the rabid satanists get in a fight - sword versus axe. After some extremely amateur fighting moves, one of them gets the upper hand and rams the sword through the other's back and out through his head.

Memorable Scene
Nothing is memorable! The whole movie was cheesy, and I guess I was laughing the most when they kept cutting to one of the rabid hippies running around with his axe while playing this goofy bass riff in the background.
