IMDb plot summary: A biker gets a job at a turkey farm and agrees to act as guinea pig for some chemicals that need tested, failing to anticipate the murderous side effects.
Directed by Brad F. Grinter. Starring Steve Hawkes, Dana Cullivan, and Randy Grinter.
Blood Freak is a grainy 1970s B-horror movie about a man who becomes a marijuana addict and then, uh... partly turns into a turkey that eats the blood of other addicts. On the surface this sounds like a delightfully wacky premise for a movie, sort of Reefer Madness style, but as far as an actual "bad movie" watching experience, it feels more along the lines of Manos: The Hands of Fate -- mostly slow and tedious and low-quality enough that it's unpleasant to sit through without a group of folks riffing it with you. The video and audio quality are low enough that I frequently struggled to follow what was going on (in fact, I was only fully clear on the plot thanks to Wikipedia) and it's full of dull moralizing about the meaning of the movie that is somehow both overly didactic AND vague. This isn't one that will make it into my regular rotation of cheesy B-movies any time soon.
