While &#8220;there are some scares&#8230; neither the acting nor the direction by David Durston is impressive and the film itself is pretty offensive&#8221;. He concedes that the film &#8220;does have color, energy, and a preposterous plot&#8221; &#8212; but this is far from enough to redeem a tale this unpleasant from start to finish.  From the opening scene of a brutal satanic ritual in the woods (culminating in a local girl being assaulted), to the rabid hippie-sadists&#8217; goring of one another while foaming at the mouth, this movie simply makes one lament for the state of humanity. Thank goodness for the wherewithal of the plucky young male protagonist (Bills) &#8212; though his trick of preparing &#8220;a pie he&#8217;s shot up with rabies&#8221; is pure fiction and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rabies#Transmission\">doesn&#8217;t correlate with actal transmission of the disease<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5fiXp1xlB28\">Brandon&#8217;s Cult Movie Review<\/a> for a fun 20 minute condensation of this flick. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A plucky young protagonist in the midst of chaos (yay for kids!)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/I-Drink-Your-Blood-Boy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/I-Drink-Your-Blood-Boy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/I-Drink-Your-Blood-Boy.png 476w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/I-Drink-Your-Blood-Boy-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/I-Drink-Your-Blood-Boy-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 476px) 100vw, 476px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNope &#8212; unless, of course, this is your cup of&#8230; tea. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0067229\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/moria.co.nz\/horror\/idrinkyourblood.htm\">Moria Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticmoviemusings.com\/?s=i+drink+your+blood\">SciFilm Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re mad, you son of a bitch!&#8221; Synopsis: When a group of hippie satanists led by an Indian (Bhaskar Roy Chowdhury) enter into a small town and assault a young woman (Iris Brooks), her grandfather (Richard Bowler) goes to check on the visitors and is drugged with LSD.
