Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

oulamies What a freak show. This movie takes you to the weird world of Sardu's Theater of the Macabre, where Sardu and his assistant Ralphus torture and manipulate young women on and off stage.Just the great 70s exploitation atmosphere combined with shameless violence and nudity (nearly every female in this film is naked) makes this film an accidental masterpiece. But in order to find this movie entertaining, you need a really messed up sense of humour. Here's torture, murder, slavery, cannibalism, necrophilia, masochism and other bizarre things. I could list plenty of great scenes and moments from this film, but i don't want to spoil anything if you haven't seen Blood Sucking Freaks yet.This is a must-see for exploitation fans and for those who think that today's cinema is lame and want to see something completely inappropriate. Sardu will show you fantasies far beyond erotica!

Scott LeBrun "Bloodsucking Freaks", the alternate title for this sick bit of cinematic sleaze, is not that accurate since there's really only one blood sucking freak in this thing. "The Incredible Torture Show", now THAT'S a better summation of what goes on here. Seamus O'Brien plays Master Sardu, a master of the macabre who puts hapless victims through unspeakable acts of brutality, content to have his audience think it's all just special effects and trickery. He's assisted by the demented Ralphus (Luis De Jesus) and assorted other cretins, and abducts ballet dancer Natasha D'Natalie (Viju Krem) so that she can be a part of his theatrical antics; critic Creasy Silo (Alan Dellay) also becomes a part of the act. Meanwhile, Natasha's boyfriend Tom Maverick (Niles McMaster), a football player, tries to track her down with the help of a sleazy detective, John Tucci (Dan Fauci). Even knowing that "The Incredible Torture Show" is clearly made with its tongue in its cheek, it's obviously going to have a somewhat limited audience. Yet these hardcore exploitation devotees are likely to be satisfied with what they see here. There ain't much in the way of story, just a lot of nasty, nasty depravity (and enough female nudity to make some viewers VERY, VERY happy) that ultimately becomes a little numbing. Still, there are some undeniable highlights, as heads, feet & hands get severed, teeth get extracted, a lady is electrocuted, etc. One's gotta love that one "doctor" character (Ernie Pysher) who goes to great pains to torture one victim; this guy is such a nut that even Sardu and Ralphus think, "This guy's too crazy, even for us!" A strong indicator of this movie's tone is when good old Sardu is having a meal that's precariously balanced on the back of a babe who's obliged to play the role of table, yet humour is added when he snarls, "Don't you DARE ruin my dinner!" O'Brien gets into the grim and goofy Grand Guignol spirit of writer / director Joel M. Reed's concoction, hamming it up quite nicely, as does the diminutive De Jesus. Fun gore effects abound, and the cage full of naked wild women is a Hell of a nice touch. In the end, Reeds' sense of bravado has to be admired, as he goes just as far as he can. The result is a truly trashy bit of insanity certain to give its audience some appreciative chuckles. Seven out of 10.

deepfriedbaloney333 Lets face it, for 1976 there were probably no movies around like this. The exploitation and overall rediculousness of the movie is quite ahead for the time. The movie has an insane amount of torture and nudity, which is... OK? The movie did not have good acting, and I thought the plot was weak. There's over the top movies, and then there's the point where your skipping ahead cuz its getting too repetitive.In the end, if you wanna see a movie with 1976 grade torture effects and lots of nudity and over the top exploitation. See it. If you're looking for a movie with decent acting, plot, or simply diversion its not your movie.

insomniac_rod Master Sardu and Ralphus deserve a status of semi-Gods. Both are repugnant characters that seem to enjoy torture, S&M, brutality, and attention.Everything gets out of control in this movie when ambition hits our main characters. But for the pleasure of fans of exploitation, we have violent, disgusting scenes involving sexual pain, gore, and torture.I consider this movie as a re-invention of "Blood Feast". It features almost the same violent sequences, the quality of gore, plot, and even score. But "Bloodsucking Freaks" is absolutely more disgusting mainly because of it's thematic.Sure, we the exploitation fans get more goodies like beautiful women, nakedness, gore, and torture devices.This is a classic of exploitation that should only be enjoyed by fans of the genre. Or in case that you can take extremely low budget involving bad acting, atrocious direction, over the top gore, a catchy score (love the piano), then you should consider spending/wasting your time on this one.You won't forget this one and after the repugnant climax, you will keep this one in your memory.
