Watch Color Me Blood Red For Free

So much average

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

And the Bronze medal goes to... Color Me Blood Red, the third goriest, third most entertaining, and, the third installment of the legendary, Blood Trilogy. Sure, it wasn't as groundbreaking or gory as Blood Feast, or as flat-out entertaining as Two Thousand Maniacs, plus, the presence of a Thomas Wood and/or a Connie Mason might have helped a little, but I still consider the unwanted step-sibling of the Blood Trilogy to be a bit underrated. Color Me Blood Red has pleasant Sarasota beach locations, and not to mention, Adam Sorg is a lot more convincing as a killer than Fuad Ramses, or any single one of the 2000 Maniacs. just A hell of an actor, although, that's not what we're after. Color Me Blood Red also stars several attractive women, some of which not nearly as young as the roles suggests, this film just didn't seem to try all that hard to entertain us, not quite as ambitious as the first two. The so-called humor would seemingly fit more in something from a decade earlier, if ever. F stands for Farnsworth wasn't any funnier the second time Sorg said it, and Holy Banana's just doesn't express the horror and confusion one would feel after finding a girls leg. I suspect this movie inspired the Florida Bore of Scream Baby Scream, that sure doesn't make me feel any better about it. All sarcasm aside, Color me Blood Red is the final entry in , the legendary Herschell Gordon Lewis's Blood Trilogy, so, naturally, it's worth a look, and I'll probably give it a higher score than it deserves. As good as Color Me Blood Red could have been, it does fall short in certain areas as there are absolutely no likable characters, unlike in 2000 Maniacs, where everyone was likable. Also, as half-assed as everything is, you'd think they' would have doubled up on the gore so at least it could be known as the goriest one of them all, they just didn't seem to put their hearts into this one. Color Me Blood Red is not the best Florida Gore has to offer, but certainly not the worst, although, I can't really think of one Florida Gore Film from the 60's that was worse. Hopefully, this one will never be known as "the original" Color Me Blood Red, but we all know it's inevitable. On one last positive note, Color Me Blood Red has tolerable acting (like it matters), as well as a decent, little score, as well as, a modest amount of gore, but mostly, innocent, teenage hi jinx, or at least something similar. Not terrible, but not too terribly interesting. Recommended to anyone who digs Lewis, but something like Moonshine Mountain, or The Wizard Of Gore would be recommended a whole lot more. 5/10

This is a dumb, trashy, gory exploitation flick from the legendary H.G. Lewis. It concerns an unsuccessful artist whose fortune changes when he discovers that the perfect colour for his paintings is provided by his girlfriend's blood. This source naturally runs out, so he resorts to killing people. That is essentially the plot, there isn't much more. But, for the record, we also have a ludicrous beatnik couple, two much-used water bikes which travel VERY slowly and an art gallery that looks like a school assembly room.The acting talent is notable by its absence. The pacing is at times sluggish - some shots linger on, seemingly endlessly. The music is insane - like the soundtrack to Bewitched transported into an exploitation movie. The effects aren't terribly convincing but not too bad either considering the budget. However, all the negatives have to be accepted as part of the Lewis style. His films have an unpretentious trash aesthetic, which makes them somewhat fun, despite their deficiencies. Having said all that, Color Me Blood Red could have been a little more outrageous. It is a bit light on the gore. And in a movie of this type, that is not the best. I recommend it to those interested in the history of horror and anyone with an inclination to trash cinema. I'm pleased I've seen it. But once is enough.

If you're a horror fan who loves gore and are looking for a gory movie, go check out High Tension. If you hate cheesy movies, go rent a new release from Blockbuster. This movie is for people who like quirkiness, b-grade film-making, c-grade acting, cheesy gore and.. FUN. I get the feeling that a few people who wrote reviews for this were obviously expecting something very different. This is NOT a horror movie, only in a very broad sense could it be considered one. It is a movie that is twice as unintentionally funny as any Ed Wood movie. There is no real comedy in Color Me Blood Red but the acting and direction will have you laughing throughout. This movie defines "grindhouse". Now that I've prepared you - Go buy it.I rated this movie 8 out of 10. It was very good at doing what it tried to do. Giving this movie a 3/10 is a joke, of course it's bad but that is the whole point! A phrase I see a lot on the IMDb is "BAD meaning GOOD", not many movies are more deserving of that praise than Color Me Blood Red.

In Herschel Gordon Lewis' third part of the "blood trilogy" he did with producer Dave Friedman, a local crackpot artist named Adam Sorel (Don Joseph) can't get the right shade of red for his canvases. One day, his girlfriend/assistant cuts herself on a nail and accidentally drips blood on to a canvas. Sorel thinks this is the perfect shade of red he's looking for so he starts off by cutting his fingers and supplies his own blood to his first canvas.But he soon realizes that he doesn't have enough blood to supply all the red 'paint' that he needs, so he goes on a gore killing spree. He starts by killing his assistant/girlfriend by stabbing her to death and burying her body out on the beach near his oceanside bungalow.The next victim is a female sunbather who's pedaling on one of those boat-cycles and is grabbed by Sorel after he kills her boyfriend by ramming into him with his powerboat. He takes her back to the house, hangs her from the rafters and disembowels her. It doesn't look very effective, though. It looks like red-painted pieces of plastic hanging down from the waistline of her pants. We see Sorel squeeze the so-called 'entrails' as he tries to wring every last drop of blood out of her.The daughter of a woman who wants to buy one of Sorel's paintings from him, goes over to his house after Sorel entices her to pose for him. Her teenage friends are outside on the beach roasting marshmallows while they wait for her. As they gather wood for the fire, they accidentally uncover the assistant's body. In the coolest scene of the film, we get to see the corpse's rotting, blackened skull-face with earthworms crawling through and on it. Not bad! One of the boy's goes over to Sorel's house nearby to let them know what they found and he sees Sorel about to strike the hanging girls with an axe, grabs a shotgun that's hanging on the wall and shoots Sorel in the face, turning it into a bloody pulp. It's so cheesy-looking, it's hilarious.The Something Weird DVD uses a print that's a little blurry in spots, but is perfectly watchable. It also includes 10 minutes of outtakes that are interesting along with the original theatrical trailer. It's not quite as much fun as the two earlier films but it's still a gas, anyway. 6 out of 10
