Summary: eat your heart out!
Review: If the Marquis De Sade were around today he would be very proud of this movie. All the sickness, and all the S&M torture. This movie is definately a must see, producing shock value with each frame. However it is very obvious the blood was paint and the decapitations were of manniquins ,it still had a certain disturbing nature to it. the main character Master Sardu(spelling) plays the part of "theatrical collaborator" beautifully and lets not forget his midget sidekick! A funny little pimpish black man with an afro, this character gives sick humor to the mix, almost reminiscent of the movie "Freaks". This movie is great torturous fun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yesssss
Review: Cool Cool...i really enjoyed this fine feature film. It had plenty gore, which I like, and it also had a midget. Ralphus is sweet. i love when he uses that blowgun to get that girl. Not a good flick to show your girlfriend though. She will think you have major problems in the head..The reason I gave it 4 stars was because it was filmed in like the 70's so it is pretty cheesy, but still a fun movie to watch if you can handle it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE 'CITIZEN KANE' OF SLAVERY,MURDER , AND MUTILATION
Review: Bloodsucking Freaks has been unfairly catagorised by many as being one of the worst films of all time. It is in fact one of the most entertaining films of the seventies.It is loaded with social commentary( e.g. Sardu explains that "the public cannot handle sadism alone, but add a little story , and it becomes easily digestable" when explaining the extreme violence of his theatrical production),and is well worth repeated viewings. Many critics have claimed that it is plotless gore. I disaggree. Although it may not be complex, the plot is more coherent than many of todays releases..., well structured, and most importantly it works. The film also has the greatest ensemble of characters since ' Seinfeld '. Seamus O'Brian is fantastic as the poncy, yet maniacal Sardu. The makers of this film must have raided an off-off broadway shakespearian theatre company to aquire this thespian. Luis De'Jesus on the other hand is a terrible actor. He spends the entire movie either incredibly under-acting, or overacting( although incedentaly he later managed to land a role as an ewok extra in 'Return of the Jedi')like an idiot. Still , he is hilarious as Ralphus, and has the best lines in the movie. The other character of note is Touchee the corrupt New York cop. The actor who plays him also plays a delivery man early in the film. BSF is also packed with enough violence , gore , and nudity to please any open-minded film fan. Avoid the hundred million dollar trash playing at your local theatre, and see a movie with more heart,and creativity than a hundred Speilberg blockbusters. Admittedly not a great task....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely underrated
Review: I love how folks will attribute 3 stars to a film that they hate! It always cracks me up.

Anyway, "Bloodsucking Freaks" is a terrific tounge-in-cheek play on early 70's gore flicks, comprimising eerie atmosphere for light-hearted humor that, in many ways, only intensifies the impact of some rather over-hyped gore. Don't get me wrong, the gore is pretty durn outrageous, but to toss out the old cliche, "It's all in good fun!"

One exceptional quality the film has is Reed's prolonged shots of the characters' expressions during torture sequences and the like, providing an almost emotional attachment to the film's many victims. And of course, the humor attached to such sequences makes it all the more sickly. Seamus is wonderful as the witty, yet classy theater owner, whose dialogue and ability to interact with the other actors (regardless of how terrible their acting may be) is very convincing and downright funny throughout the film! Don't miss the classic ending!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Worst DVD transfer ever?
Review: I can't believe Loyd Kaufman himself would call this "a digitally-mastered version". Luckily the horrible video quality doesn't really distract from all the good ol' fashioned bloodsucking going on. This movie also has one of the best soundtracks ever, in that it fits the low-budget nature of the movie. I'm glad I have a surround sound theatre to fully enjoy the pre-1970's synethesizer music. Well anyways at least the DVD is packed with extras, I especially liked the tour of Troma. Oh I almost forgot to mention that Ralphus is the best midget ever to appear in a minor motion picture! As for the reviewer who said anyone who enjoys this was a nazi, they should be put in the cage with the crazy naked women.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Recommended Mostly for the Tongue-in-Cheek Audio Commentary
Review: The movie itself is pretty bad but I recommend the DVD version for the slyly facetious audio commentary which pretends to treat the movie and its director seriously. The movie itself was obviously made to offend and it succeeds but if you don't mind watching naked women being tortured and murdered, lame special effects and hammy acting, you may enjoy it. The murdering dwarf is pretty amusing too. No matter what you think of it, you won't forget it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ralphus rocks
Review: CRAZY CRAZY S&M flick from troma.

Along the lines of microwave massacre if you like that one you will enjoy Ralphus in this filck!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rubbernecking at a car accident.
Review: This movie is disgusting, yet somehow intrigues me. I like the "It's so good it's bad" aspect of it. There is also a lot of decent satire in it. I also like the loads of nude women of course, but not when they are being tortured. The point is: you think you shouldn't be watching it, but you can't stop. I think most people would like this movie if they can take it lightly and get past the gore. Ralphus is my favorite Dwarf with an afro.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jeffrey Dahmer's Training Video
Review: Great acting and dialogue here. The women are attractive and naked all the time. The sadists are fully in control of their female captives whom they torture mercilessly. This is the perfect video to watch on that "first date". She'll be cuddling up to you in no time. Pass the popcorn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sick
Review: This movie was sick to the core, and I LOVED it! Delightfully demented, campy and comical all at the same time.
