Review of Horror of the Blood Monsters

This uproariously atrocious Al Adamson $1.50 sci-fi/horror patch-up job rates highly as one of Al's single most sublimely stinky pictures to ever disgrace celluloid. This beautifully bad and berserk baby boasts John Carradine at his all-time crankiest, Brother Theodore's gut-busting wheezing histrionic opening narration, poorly tinted black and white giant creature footage from the moldy oldie items "One Million Years B.C." and "Unknown Island," cheap cardboard spaceship sets, a quick cameo by Adamson as a vampire with wicked sideburns, a particularly ridiculous heavy-breathing sex scene, a pretty sorry trash cinema ensemble cast that includes Vicki Volante, Jennifer Bishop and Robert Dix, chintzy cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond, such hysterically goofy monsters as hairy cave-dwelling bat demons, swamp-residing lobster men, snake men, and two warring cavemen tribes, and a stupendously silly plot concerning a fearless team of astronauts traveling to a hostile alien planet so they can thwart a severe extraterrestrial vampire plague that's ravaging Earth! This isn't by any stretch of the imagination a good movie, but it is nonetheless an often unintentionally amusing and hence hugely enjoyable Grace Z low-budget crap camp classic.
