Viewing Notes
Because a few films were expiring on NWI and not available as DVD rentals, I made a point to watch a couple. First up was Joel Reed’s bizarre torture porn feature Bloodsucking Freaks (1976), which is as blatant and explicit as anything you might see today. And in some ways even worse as Sardu’s magic act is really no act at all yet to the unsuspecting audience they have no idea that the gruesome bits are very real. No, this is not a good film tho highly exploitative. But still worth watching for fans of exploitation, horror and the time period.
