Feels as if Lewis was running out of ideas by the time he got around to this one.

Film Frenzy

There's some entertainment value in watching the abysmal acting, listening to the wretched dialogue, and pondering the artless direction in his flicks, but they wear out their welcome far more rapidly than in turkeys by, say, Ed Wood.

Rated: 1/4

This is one trashy-ass film. Most 70s porn has more professional cinematography and sound. But I still enjoyed this for how bad it was.

Cheesy, dumb, and gross, Color Me Blood Red is terribly acted and completely forgettable. I have no problem with violent films but when that is your only defining trait your movie is terrible.

Interesante cinta del Padrino del Gore, Hershell Gordon Lewis, que a pesar de lo que muchos digan, me parece infinitamente más interesante que su clásico 2000 Maniacos. Al menos esta Color Me Blood Red tiene una historia e incluso personajes por los que te puedes interesar. Gordon Oas-Heim como el desquiciado Adam Sorg es una delicia y lo suficientemente atractivo como personaje como para olvidarte de las más que obvias carencias técnicas; que no son pocas. Si queréis saber más sobre la película o HGL, escuchad este episodio de ETNTP: https://www.ivoox.com/terror-no-tiene-podcast-episodio-51-audios-mp3_rf_27901568_1.html

Don't think I've ever seen this Herschell Gordon Lewis movie until today. Anyways, painter realizes the right shade of red he needs for his work is HUMAN BLOOD. Ridiculously bad acting, bad set up of shots... and that dialogue "HOLY BANANAS, THAT'S A WOMAN'S LEG!". Definitely in the lower tier of Lewis films.

More HG Lewis fun. Typical Lewis antics: painter starts killing people to paint with their blood. Not as gory as I expected, but if you like Lewis' style you should have fun.

The last of Herschell Gordon Lewis's gory low budget films of the "Blood Trilogy". It was alright, i enjoyed the film. The acting isn't always that good though and the blood effects are super shity, but that's why it isn't a bad idea to see this flick. The atmosphere, espacially near the end of the film is nice. Recommended !
