Horror of the Blood Monsters (1970)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The Worst Film Ever

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The first must-see film of the year.

As soon as I saw Al Adamson's credit as producer and director at the beginning of "Horror of the Blood Monsters" (1970), I knew I was in for a rough ride. Adamson is the man responsible for "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" (1971), easily one of the worst films I'd ever seen, and I still hadn't forgiven him for that awful evening. In this one, Adamson's buddy John Carradine and his crew of dorky associates blast off from Earth, are damaged by a solar something-or-other, and land on a planet inhabited by dinosaurs, vampires, lobstermen, batmen and cave people. Unfortunately, all the "good" stuff has been ineptly spliced in from a B&W Filipino vampire/caveman film called "Tagani" (1965), a film that, compared to Adamson's, looks a model of cinematic professionalism. The planet is also affected by "chromatic radiation," so that the inserted B&W scenes could be variously tinted red, yellow, blue or green. To add to the nonsense, Adamson cuts back to Earth in total non sequitur to show us how people will make whoopy in the future; something to do with orgasmatron-type electrodes they wear to bed. Anyway, this film is truly a labor to sit through; another Adamson abomination. You know it's bad when you find yourself wishing that you were watching the original Filipino caveman movie, without all the stoopid sci-fi claptrap that Adamson & Co. added later. Infinitely more entertaining are the extras on the DVD that I just watched, including trailers for "Tagani" itself AND six other Filipino horror films; some of the wildest, most amazing coming attractions I've ever seen. The makers of "Tagani" should have sued Adamson for turning what looks like an interesting film into some true cinematic torture. Rent this one out at your own mental peril! You'll notice that the acronym for this film is HOT BM: appropriate, given the steaming pile of crap that it is!

Huh?What?Vampire cavemen? Sex replaced by flashing multi-colored light bulbs? Guys in dinosaur suits? A film half made of stock footage?This isn't just bad, it's inexplicably bad. DO NOT WATCH THIS ALONE. Make sure to have a friend or two with whom you can swap wisecracks about this... this... HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS.The end of this movie has nothing to do with the beginning. The middle has nothing to do with the end or the beginning. Not only does this planet change colors, but apparently at least one woman on it manages to change races, switching periodically back and forth between Filipino and Caucasian.And remember, kids, the red radiation is the most dangerous to human life. Here, let me demonstrate with this spectrum gun.WHAT THE HELL??????

The line above may be a very kind way of summing up Al Adamson's career, but I feel bad for the guy. When I read a few years back that he had been murdered in his house, I thought,'Who would want to murder this fella?'I have yet to find that answer, and if anyone out there know if there was a trial, or any information on the death of Al Adamson, please contact me at my address.I have seen a few of Adamson's films, and although his taste is questionable, his movies can tend to be mesmerising. This is sometimes a good thing at 2 in the morning when you are trying to go to sleep; not knowing what to expect, and even as you watch it, you're still not sure. This is how I saw NIGHT OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS, or whatever the hell that title was. The film contains some of the most boring dialogue scenes since Jerry Warren, and the acting is uniformly wooden. The plot is a bit hard to explain, having something to do with a vampire plague on Earth that, in flimsy exposition, started in outer space. A rocketship and crew (headed by John Carradine) land on the Vampire planet, and encounter more dialogue and tinted Filipino footage.The Filipino footage that Adamson culled appears to have been done in black-and-white, but since Adamson was making a color film, he came up with a cheap ploy to sell the concept of the tinted portion. It is radiation, explains one of the characters, and the audience is left in total disbelief. In fact, the most unbelievable part is the sets, made up of poorly-lit backdrops and cardboard. The sex scene is hilarious.This cheesy movie must be seen by any lover of bad cinema, and people who remember what the drive-in was like, or would like to. All others beware, this film is UNCEASINGLY BAD.Now, if only I could find out what happened to Al Adamson, (and his wife, Regina Carrol, for that matter)...

I saw this film in the early 1980's as part of a triple feature at the local drive-in (so please if I error on the details, my apologies). At that time it was titled "Night of the Wolf" or "Cry of the Wolf" or some such non-related drivel. It starts with vampire attacks on women in the night (in poor lighting). Then it goes to launching a rocket into space (internal shots only). We wade through long dialogues over what the plot is about (while walking around in a cardboard set). The Ship lands on a planet inhabited by vampire cave-men (all shot in black & white through a red filter). They find, rescue, and flee with the only non-vampire cave-gal (which is never really explained). The crew escape back to Earth without a solution to the problem (luckily the red cloud dissipates freeing Earth till the next time.) The nightmares still linger in my head about this, truly the worst film that I ever saw.
