Joel M.Reed's "Blood Bath" features four weird and darkly amusing horror stories:the first one is about luckless hit man,the second one is about one guy who wishes he was fighting in Napoleonic wars and his wish is granted by magical coin,the third one is about greedy businessman who is locked in his own safe and haunted by a ghost and finally the fourth and the weirdest one is about martial arts fighter."Blood Bath" is very weird horror anthology that doesn't make a lot of sense.The film is low on gore but high on weirdness.It's extremely tame in comparison to Joel M.Reed infamous exploitation classic "Bloodsucking Freaks".There's hardly any gore in "Blood Bath",but if you like strange and twisted horror comedies give this one a chance.7 candlelit dinners out of 10.

What can I tell about this flick. It's from the director of Bloodsucking Freaks with the same kind of score. The movie itself is boring and bloodless. It contains four story's that are predictable and boring. The first one is maybe the best but you can see the plot coming from the beginning. Storyline two is a lot of bla bla and nothing really happens, you should be scared to see the ending, well you ain't. Storyline three about some coins, boring as hell and there's some gore in it, well , not scary at all. The last storyline is, as you can guess boring. And after the four story lines there's a plot to the whole movie, again predictable. The acting is beyond zero, Oh I can go on for ages, it's one you will see but forget immediately. This should have been a tales from the crypt but failed, a shame, Bloodsucking Freaks was better.

I cannot believe that this gem of a horror has had such little publicity-totally original,clever with a bizarre twisted undertone,although a nightmare to find- any self respecting horror genre fan must hunt this beauty down-Forget Bloodsucking Freaks this is Joel Reeds finest moment!!!I first saw this movie over 20 years ago and and to be honest for years I had convinced myself I had been having flashbacks of some disturbing dream because the movie seemed to have totally be erased from existence even endless searches on the internet proved useless until eventually it turned up on ebay one day and naturally i snapped it up!What a relief it was I tell you confirming that I wasn't actually going insane!The art work alone for this film is just soooo classic in itself and in this case the video definitely should be judged by the cover!SEE IT!

this nauseating tale of gore and torture wins my vote as the best b-movie horror for 1976. brilliant costume, intelligent plot, and terrific special effects make this a must see. not only that, but i threw up T W I C E while viewing this exceptional work of art; once when i saw blood and again when i witnessed a monstrous act of torture only the devil himself could conceptualize. this movie is wicked...if you like "blood sucking freaks" or the situational comedy series "the golden girls", you will love this obnoxious little piece!
