| Sons and daughters of Satan: Let it be known that this is the first and onIy uncut, authorized release of David Durston's I DRINK YOUR BLOOD. Restored in all its acid-crazed glory, this `70s horror cIassic is now more gruesome and depraved than ever before--accept no substitutes! Originally reIeased in February 1971, l DRINK YOUR BLOOD was one of the first motion pictures to be rated X for vioIence. Aiming to outdo NIGHT OF THE LlVING DEAD, producer Jerry Gross instructed writer/director Durston to discard aIl of the old monster-mash cIiches and shoot straight for the gut with maximum shock vaIue and gore. The resuIt was pure American drive-in genius. Even after 30 years, lDYB stiII holds up as one of the most entertaining and wiIdly demented movies of its kind. Between the bad-taste instincts of exploitation legend Gross (who gave the film its Iurid titIe and distributed it on a double-bill with an cheap bIack-and-white zombie fiIm he'd rechristened I EAT YOUR SKIN- a.k.a. ZOMBlE, VOODOO BLOODBATH, 1964) and Durston's twisted imagination (rabies, meat pies, LSD, hippie maniacs, construction workers foaming at the mouth--caIl the Red Cross!), I DRlNK YOUR BLOOD pIays Iike a doubIe-barreIed shotgun bIast, a sugar fix for gore freaks. Just when you think Durston can't push the delirium any further, somebody drags a dead goat across the screen...or an old man in long underwear pukes up his dentures whiIe being strangled...or an electric carving knife strays from a side of ham with disastrous results...or...well, you get the picture. Unfortunately, the MPAA didn't appreciate the effort. Graphic scenes of bodiIy dismemberment, muItipIe stabbings, self-immolation, barbecued rats, gang-bang sex, gut-spilIing, decapitation, and the hara-kiri stake impalement of a pregnant woman's stomach all seemed to upset the censors for some strange reason. Ever the expIoitationeer, Gross sent the movie out uncut anyway, resulting in pandemonium. With the ratings board cracking down on offenders, Cinemation panicked and prints of the film were hacked to pieces by everyone from projectionists to the IocaI morals squad. The R-rated print seen in most theaters (and on previous, inferior video releases) lacks a cruciaI pIot point and bareIy makes sense. Despite these trials, l DRINK YOUR BLOOD was a smash success for Gross and even managed to impress a few critics who were unperturbed by the day-gIo ad campaign announcing "2 Great BIood-Horrors To Rip Out Your Guts!" The L.A. Times' Kevin Thomas gave l DRlNK... a rave, as did then-unknown Joe Dante, who praised it in the pages of FlLM BULLETIN. The fiIm even captured a prize at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film FestivaI in Paris. Words just can't do this movie justice. Like a sheet of high-grade bIotter, this DVD of I DRINK YOUR BLOOD packs enough bizarre entertainment vaIue to last for hours and hours. ln closing, we can onIy repeat the demonic invocation of Horace Bones, who teIls his followers in the movie's opening scene: "Satan was an acid-head. Drink from his cup. Pledge yourseIves, and together we'II all freak out!"
