Audience Member Ray Dennis Steckler is a truly interesting director. Many of his films (including this one) display a real talent for capturing stark landscapes and disquieting moods. Tobe Hooper's similar gift made The Texas Chainsaw Massacre so eerily effective three years later. However Steckler's inability to create suspense and his predisposition for goony violence and jokey dialogue usually spoil any pretensions to legitimacy he may actually harbor. Blood Shack in particular tells the story of Carol (Carolyn Brandt) who comes to live on her family farm that contains a decrepit house protected by an evil spirit named The Chooper. One of the most hysterical looking and acting killers in cinematic history- The Chooper is clad in matching black balaclava, long sleeve shirt, and pants and wielding a toy sword he attacks his victims with the viciousness of a 10 year old boy playing in the backyard getting stung by bees. Carolyn Brandt's narration sounds like she took two Ambien and stuck her head in a steel drum, and there is a fight scene that appeared to be staged by The Three Stooges. Clocking in at about an hour, Blood Shack feels about 30 minutes too long. However to call it a waste of time would be unfair, because anything Steckler puts on screen is interesting, if only because of the oddly disparate elements he has a knack for throwing together.

I think I am going to film myself watching the movie and beating my dick into oblivion and call it the, "Whack Shack". Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It is "The Chooper", not chopper or chipper, chOOper lol. A very 70's drive-in flick without the nudity. No script, no story with 2 dudes, a girl & 2 little girls. Actually the 2 little girls were the best things in the movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member its the Chooper. well where do i start? the apparent $500 budget? yes this is amazingly cheap and screams gridhouse. has an uneeded yet strangely belonging narration. the killer is actually quite funny, he looks like a ninja wanna be with a plastic sword XD the revealing wasnt all too shocking. but i wont give it away. i also likedthe score especially the beginning credits alot. that ending was actually very good. and leaves you with an unsettling question that will never be answered. considering the painfully low budget this was actually well made and entertaining the whole time. the cinematography is very good and gives a documentary feel in some parts. they did good with what they had. i dont want to bitch about wishing this had a much larger budget because if it did, the film would not be close to the same. reccomended to fans of the obscure, silly, so bad its good entries of the genre. but this you have to go into with a very open mind or else you wont be able to dig it Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member its the Chooper. well where do i start? the apparent $500 budget? yes this is amazingly cheap and screams gridhouse. has an uneeded yet strangely belonging narration. the killer is actually quite funny, he looks like a ninja wanna be with a plastic sword XD the revealing wasnt all too shocking. but i wont give it away. i also likedthe score especially the beginning credits alot. that ending was actually very good. and leaves you with an unsettling question that will never be answered. considering the painfully low budget this was actually well made and entertaining the whole time. the cinematography is very good and gives a documentary feel in some parts. they did good with what they had. i dont want to bitch about wishing this had a much larger budget because if it did, the film would not be close to the same. reccomended to fans of the obscure, silly, so bad its good entries of the genre. but this you have to go into with a very open mind or else you wont be able to dig it Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite part is the rodeo.
