4. I Drink Your Blood (1970)
Some hippies are holding a Satanic ritual while a young girl called Sylvia watches from the trees. She is spotted and used by the hippies for their nefarious deeds, turning up the next day betean and raped. A woman named Mildred comes across Sylvia with Sylvia's younger brother Pete who is around the age of 12. They take her to the house where she lives with Pete and her Grandfather Banner. The hippies' van breaks down and they walk into town, going to where Mildred works in a bakery and eating her pies. The town is largely deserted and the hippies break into an abandoned house where they make themselves comfortable. Banner goes to avenge his granddaughter, but the hippies make him take LSD. Pete is very distressed at this and he takes his grandfather's shotgun. The first thing he meets is a rabid dog which he shoots and then injects the dog's blood into meat pies meant for the hippies. Of course the hippies eat the pie and become infected. Acts of violence occur and soon the town is overrun with them. Will the normals survive? A pretty nifty little movie for having been made on the cheap, I Drink Your Blood has a stupid script and is poorly acted, but is entertaining enough to amuse the viewer for its duration. It piles on the sleaze and gore in sufficient quantities to amuse lovers of grindhouse films. The casual viewer will be utterly baffled and turned off by the experience of watching such a seedy affair. It totally scrapes the barrel and the soundtrack is horribly screechy. A must see for lovers of half crappy/half marvellous low budget horror.
