Blood Mania...What?
Alright after watching non drive-in movies I decided to return to my Drive-In Cult Classics collection. Today I watched Blood Mania and Single Room Furnished, two interesting films in their own wicked way.
First, Blood Mania, a title that would be the honey pot of gore lovers but beware! at first I thought I was actually going to see plenty of blood and murder with a lame plot but strong enough to make it a worth watching B classic.
The storyline sets us in the last days of ternimally ill rich doctor Ridgeley Waterman under the cold care of his older daughter Victoria Waterman. Everyday there's this hotshot doctor Craig Cooper, an employee from Mr. Waterman's private hospital, coming to check his health status, obviously Victoria gets immediately infatuated or let's say it, literally horny with Dr. Cooper but despite her many efforts he seems to be interested in different stuff.
The plot line divides into two simple paths. Path N°1 tells us Dr. Cooper has a dark past he wants to get rid of, but of course, there's this lawyer who's willing to blackmail him for $50,000 grands! now you may ask why? Well, this unnamed lawyer happened to help Dr. Cooper get patients to earn money from illegal abortions. Now the huge amount of money requested for silence it's an absolute impossible for Dr. Cooper so the situation leads his girlfriend to have sex in exchange for Cooper's dark past, and that's all you'll see from Cooper's girlfriend in the entire movie, that's not so good since you get no explanations at all why she's not mentioned anymore.
So, Path N°1 leads to Path N°2 which takes us back to Victoria and her huge desire for being boned by Dr. Cooper all day long. Now that Cooper has no chances of getting the money to literally buy the lawyer's silence and all of sudden he finds himself having sex and getting lots of dope with this horny vixen. It is there, where Cooper reveals Victoria how dangerous it could be for someone with a heart condition to take those kinds of drugs, and how good it'll do to him to get money for his "tax problem"
Then, Voila! Victoria comes up with the perfect plan: Murder his father with the dope, inherit his fortune and get Cooper by the balls with her irresistible offering.
After Victoria rids of her father, Cooper comes to her house mostly for letting her know how sorry he is , but as soon as she reveals the truth he becomes partner in crime...
Reading Will day comes, and everyone around, even Cooper gets a good piece of Waterman's will, soemthing that could lead Cooper to clean his hands from his past. Victoria's expectations are buried when the Will announces her younger sister Gail...
I've written too much, I'll go straight to the point. After the plot lines explanation you see more sex, some blackmailing from Victoria to Dr. Cooper and a new relationship between the doctor and Gail, something that fortunately will lead to the movie title (after an hour or some you wonder is the correct movie for such a title?) Victoria's revenge!!!!!!!!!! she will murder her sister with a copper candlebox and yeah, there will be some blood...but as in every drive-in or B-Movie you'll find the ending of the movie way too dissapointing, or at least so unfinished that instead of being frightened you'll be like "WTF" literally.
But that's what makes these movies so unique, so go and get it!
Tomorrow I'll let you know about Single Room Furnished, the last movie of blonde legend Jayne Mansfield...
