my review of Bloodsucking Freaks

DefJeff · 02-22-2003, 09:29 AM

This time its one of my all time favorite movies, the ultimate date movie, the great Bloodsucking Freaks! Wow Troma released a DVD of this quite awhile ago, is it worth it? Read on.......

I'll get the technical stuff out of the way first. This is a Troma DVD we are dealing with here-- so dont expect anything good. The video quality is bad...VHS quality, maybe a little above.. the audio is about the same as the visual. The extras are the same as all Troma releases, with the addition of a commentary by Eli Roth and the trailer for Bloodsucking Freaks.

But now the movie itself is a different story!

In short, its about an off, off, off, off, offf Broadway show of the torture/murder/humiliation (not in that order) of women by Sardu and his assistant Ralphus.....but Sardu wants more. He has higher hopes to be a true Broadway director. So when he receives a bad review, he kidnapes the reviewer and keeps him prisoner, promising him that he will put on a great show with the star being the great prima ballerina, Nastasha D'Natalie. Sardu sends his assistant Ralphus to kidnap her--- and now its up to her boyfriend and a cop to uncover whats really going on at "The Theatre of the Macabre" and save Natasha!

I LOVE this movie. Sardu is easily one of the best characters EVER to be put on screen. Did i mention his assistant Ralphus is a black midget who among other things, hides in gym lockers with a blow gun? Do i even need to mention Sardu has a cage of naked cannibal women in his basement? How about just ONE of the classic lines of this movie-- "Her mouth will make a very interesting urinal" . plus there is brain slurping, feet chopping, penis eating, severed head masturbating and more fun. HIGHLY entertaining movie to say the least.

DVD (extras, audio, visual):

out of 5
Movie:

out of 5

A classic of exploitation not to be missed by anyone! Highly recommended viewing by me.... the dvd is cheap too

opinions anyone?

This is the only Troma DVD worth buying IMO, the movie is truly crecent fresh, and that would be an understatement! Plenty of sleaze, gore, naked chicks (there's a few nameless chicks on here that are hotter than anything you'd see in hardcore pornos), gore, white slavery, Sardu... RALPHUS! Any movie that has some pervy ripping out teeth from a chick so she doesn't bite during a blow job has to be entertaining at the least.

i thought it was strickly just..ok. i enjoy popping it in every now and then but its not one of my favs. there are some cool scenes like using a chicks ass as a dart board.

Ralphus wasn't black. Well, he may have been black at heart... like me.

Ralphus rules, yo.

Too over the top for me. I have the vhs and I only watched it once.

rxfiend · 02-22-2003, 08:00 PM

the movie is great for parties! LOL. i remember having it on vhs and showing it to all kinds of people just to get their reaction.

didn't this movie have a different title?

DefJeff · 02-22-2003, 08:11 PM

i THINK it was AKA The Incredible Torture Show

Ralphus wasnt black eh? what was he? spanish?

nice to see there is at least a couple other fans of this movie

Yeah, Ralphus is of hispanic descent, but he was born in New York, or so the IMDb says. I can see how one may be confused though... the man has one righteous assed fro goin' on in Bloodsucking Freaks.

I love this movie! It's simply a fuggin' classic.

sorry to dig this thread up but i didnt want to start a whole new thread about the dvd..

can anyone tell me if this is still orderable?? (ie is it OOP?) most websites ive searched on dont seem to have it.. i did a bit of a search using www.happyhunter.com and it found a few but im worried that most of these wont have it in stock and are just listing it coz theyll throw me on backorder for 6 months

Same here, but I saw a copy at Suncoast a while ago for $10 or $15, so I'm gonna head there. I haven't had luck finding it online though, and when I did it was more than I was willing to spend.

Mortis · 08-26-2003, 10:23 PM

I've seen the same copy sitting at Suncoast for the longest time now. I think it's $19.99, though. I hate Suncoast's prices.

Yep, otherwise known as "T.I.T.S"

Gread old thread, makes me wanna pop in my copy of the movie and watch it again, might just do that tonight.

Ralphus was awesome. I just checked out IMDB and he died way back in 88 from a heart attack sadly. He did play in some pornos though! hah hah! He's in "Let my Puppets Come" too (a puppet porn movie)! I've always been interested in seeing that movie but now I just gotta find a copy.
