For those who think they've seen everything comes BLOOD FREAK, a rampaging turkey monster on a marijuana high!
Finding himself sandwiched between Bible-thumping good-girl Angel and her bad-girl sister Ann, a muscle bound biker named Herschell (Steve Hawkes, star of two obscure Tarzan films) falls under Ann's seductive spell when she offers him some weed. Quickly becoming a writhing, spastic addict - "I have a feeling I'm hooked!" - the big galoot then gets a job at a turkey farm where he's fed meat treated with an experimental drug and, like any junkie who eats tainted turkey meat, turns into a man with a giant turkey head. Yes, a man with a giant turkey head. Who also gobbles like a big dumb bird.
Still hungry for a fix, Herschell-the-Turkey-Man proceeds to attack fellow drug addicts whose blood he drinks with his pointy little turkey beak. In one magical moment, he even buzz-saws the leg off a pusher who holds his stump and howls for what seems like days. All of which is punctuated by philosophical pondering by co-director Brad Grinter (Flesh Feast) before two potheads with a machete decide to go on their version of a turkey shoot…
Wow. A monster movie quite unlike any other, BLOOD FREAK is a jaw-dropping almost legendary milestone in crackpot filmmaking, and the ultimate cinematic turkey.
Gobble-gobble!
