Blood Sucking Freaks

Love this movie it's 1 of my favorites. I have watched this movie 20 times and played it for friends drinking beer. It's a must own for fans of sick gross out humor. I don't think anyone had ever made a film mixing torture,sex,gore and disturbingly dark comedy the way this laugh riot did prior to 1972. Can stand the test of time even in todays films. A complete trash piece of art.The dvd also has a ton of extras from troma.

Bloodsucking Freaks is a very sleazy and gory low budget 70's exploitation flick directed by Joel M.Reed, the film was sleazy as hell but if you don't take it to seriously then you might actually like it but it depends cause its an acquired taste, there was some truly sick and disgusting stuff in it and it was done in bad taste but I still thought it was great and not to mention utterly hilarious but some might find this film to be offensive so I only recommend this to hardcore horror fans especially if your the type of person who enjoys this kind of trashy entertainment. A theater owner named Sardu along with his midget assistant Ralphus (who likes to dance and seems to be talented with a blow dart) attempt to create a production that will be critically acclaimed, he welcomes his audience to the stage show which is sort of like an S&M; torture chamber or something featuring naked young women who are sadistically tortured and killed and what the audience doesn't realise is that the mur...

Bloodsucking Freaks is one of those rare exploitation movie's that actually surpassess my expectation's as far as sleazy content is concerned. I mean it really has everything you could ask for in a movie; A crazy dwarf that run's around chopping off limbs, a guy who suck's brains out of peoples head's, torture/S&M; show's, human dart board's, human trade ring's, ton's of gore and perversion...I mean it's all here. If your one of those people that laugh's when a girl rips off a dude's member and eats it, then Bloodsucking Freak's is for you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!! *This Troma release has an audio commentary by Eli Roth of which is pretty cool also.

This film handles such heavy subjects as insanity, torture, abduction, corrupt police officers, white slavery, and much more and still manages to be entertaining. Much of this is due to the performance of Seamus O'Brien, who, as Sardu, delivers the sometimes surreal dialog completely straight faced. It is a shame this actor was killed by a burglar in his house early in his carreer, as I believe he could have been as great as Christopher Lee. The interaction with his assistant Ralphus (played by Luis De Jesus, who later found his way in the Star Wars universe as Ewok in Return of the Jedi) is very light-hearted, especially during some gruesome scenes of extreme horror. The music score also adds to a strange atmosphere by using very light themes during the heaviest scenes and rather disturbing sounds during rather comedic scenes but especially by not always using this technique, so that the viewer is constantly disoriented. The production value of the film is enhanced by director Jo... Read more

The great Seamus O'Brian stars as Master Sardu, the owner of the Theater of the Macabre as well as an underground white slavery trade. He and his black midget assisstant, Ralphus (played by Louie DeJesus) hold shows at the theater in which nude women are slowly tortured and killed. That's the whole show! Sardu spies prima ballerina Natasha DeNatalie (played by Viji Creme)and plans to kidnap her for his greatest vision yet: a ballet featuring a combination of sadism and eroticism. The ending of this film is particularly funny. I love the music in this film as well. Eli Roth does an excellent commentary!
