Color Me Blood Red Movie Review
Artist Adam Sorg (Gordon Oas-Heim) discovers blood provides the perfect shade of red for his paintings, inspiring him to go on a murderous rampage. This 1965 splatter film is brought to us by Herschell Gordon Lewis, AKA "The Godfather of Gore", and he really lives up to that moniker with this one. If you watch this movie and think it reminds you of something else you have seen, but you can't put your finger on it, let me help you out--you're thinking of A Bucket of Blood. This movie is so similar to that one that I really couldn't take my mind off it, to the point I wrote Color Me Blood Red off as a cheap imitation. Eventually, I was able to look past that, however, as there is tons of gore to keep you watching. Some of the gore is extreme, especially for 1965--in one scene, Sorg disembowels a woman and squeezes her intestine to get more blood from her. Aside from the extreme gore, there's not a whole lot going for this movie--unless hot chicks from the 1960's light your fire, in which case you're really going to like this movie.
60's hot chick, the killer and...that other guy
The acting is really bad. The story doesn't ever go anywhere, and no characters are developed, so by the time you get to the climax of the film, you likely won't care about the fate of anybody involved. There is also some rather unfunny comedic elements to the film, especially in the end. All that said, if you're looking for a mindless old-school bloodfest, you could do a lot worse than Color Me Blood Red.
