>>I love old scary movies! >> >>>Well, it's almost that time of year again, when scary >>>movies are all over TV and in theaters. Even though >>>it's not Hallowen yet, most stores have already got >>>goodies and costumes up for sale. So I'll begin my >>>annual reviews of fright films just a little bit >early >>>with an oddball movie, "Horror of the Blood >Monsters." >>> ><a rel=nofollow target=_blank >href="http://fuckingmachinesbondage.com">girls fucking >machines</a> ><a rel=nofollow target=_blank >href="http://sexbondagesex.com">bondage sex</a> ><a rel=nofollow target=_blank >href="http://femdomlesbianbondage.com">femdom lesbian >bondage</a> ><a rel=nofollow target=_blank >href="http://ropebondagesex.com">rope bondage</a> >>>This is one of the B-movies made by schlockmeister >Al >>>Adamson, who directed numerous low budget films >>>throughout the 1960s and 1970s, everything from >horror >>>to biker flicks. Though he did work along the same >>>lines as Ed Wood, he never gained the >name-recognition >>>that Wood did. Part of the reason was certainly >>>because some of his films were unsavory or downright >>>reprehensible. But they also tended to be confusing >>>and baffling as well, due to Adamson's tendency to >>>pile on unneccessary sub-plots. >>> >>>"Horror of the Blood Monsters" (1970) is just about >>>the only film of his that's gained any kind of a >>>"cult" following, and even some decent reviews. It's >>>even had a special DVD edition with commentary and >>>special features, perhaps because it's one of the few >>>movies he did that had a half-way understandable >>>storyline. It also has a likeable quality, and even >a >>>strange low-budget charm, that's in sharp contrast to >>>the normally grim atmosphere of his other films. >>> >>>The movie begins with an amaturish introduction, >>>showing various people wandering around in the dark >>>acting like vampires. A narrartor, doing a clumsy >>>Bela Lugosi imitation, explains that people of Earth >>>are turning into vampires due to some sort of virus >>>from outer space. >>> >>>Then we quickly switch to more professional looking >>>sequences involving the launch of a spaceship.

What's this got to do with >vampires, >>>you might ask? Well, apparently this is the planet >>>the virus is coming from. Most of the cave people >>>sport fangs, showing that they're slowly turning into >>>vampires. There's also some weird looking flying bat >>>people in a cave. But as it turns out, the disease >>>will eventually kill them all and evidently the virus >>>will die with them. >>> >>>In real life, Adamson actually purchased footage from >>>a cave-man movie made in the Phillipines and never >>>released here in the USA. Then he filmed the scenes >>>with American actors as space cadets and pasted them >>>into the Fillipino movie. It's a clever use of stock >>>footage. And the American cast deliver some >>>surprisingly engaging and in some cases even touching >>>performances. >>> >>>"Horror of the Blood Monsters" is no masterpiece, but >>>it does show how a low-budget movie can rise above >its >>>material. It's a shame that Adamson didn't do more >>>enjoyable films like this in his career, rather than >>>resorting to "shock" value in his other work, which >is >>>very seldom shown anymore. If he'd made more films >>>like "Horror of the Blood Monsters" he might have >>>become as well known as Ed Wood is today.
