So did anyone else get a LARPer feel from the satanists, I couldn’t take them seriously like the whole “I am the firstborn son of Satan” but felt like someone spouting off their OC backstory and I was just waiting for one of them to go “that’s not fair, you can’t take the OP backstory man it ruins the party”

[@ComancheSamurai]

Hey, don't feel bad, Brandon, I'm native American, but I not only saw the redskin joke coming but laughed anyways.

[@randybarnett2308]

I'm Native American too, but thought that was funny too ! Now you got me curious I didn't know there a superhero that was an Apache, have to check him out.

[@christopherengel7436]

I just saw a story about this fine films direHe got the idea for it after he a film of rabies infected Iranian kids. He's also suspected of commiting two murders. He moved onto making porno after this.

[@wugglesx]

@@randybarnett2308 he hasn't been used much in recent years mostly for the obvious reasons but apache chief was also part of the super friends show that'd do the "meanwhile at the hall of ..." Transitions lol .. i can't remember the specifics it's been so long but he was basically like a magic native American giantman. how they all had a counter (batman\joker superman\lex luther his was giganta. But .. Hmmm now I'm wondering if he could only grow and return to normal or if he could shrink too. I might have to look that up later ... Sorry for the really late comment if it's not needed but also thanks for reminding me about him.

[@hellsing507]

Fun fact the actor playing the cult leader is Bhaskar Roy Chowdhury. The director hired a Indian to play a Native American.

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

​@@hellsing507 I just knew that guy was from India...strange casting

Apparently this movie is on a double bill with another movie called “I eat your skin” that’s not a joke I hope he reviews it at some point.

Not quite. Cartman probably would have made the pies out of the hippies' families as well as rabies.

[@patrickmckenna6391]

What's most disturbing about this review Brandon is your impression of someone on an acid trip. As a man in his sixties who managed to 'live a little' back in the day, it honestly was both very accurate and very funny at the same time. The big question is...how did you know?

[@hypnotised-clover]

He lives in the age of the internet, wherein one can simply search "what is acid trip like" and find out in an instant. You never heard of that invention? It's been around for over 30 years.

[@joesmoe71]

Rabies makes humans delirious, not necessarily violent... but whatever, that's the least of this movie's problems. Also what always strikes me about movies likes this and 28 days Later is the infected, supposedly completely out of control insane people never attack EACH OTHER. Do they carry infected people union cards or something?

[@chaossmith3864]

Maybe they have some weird pheromone thing going on.

[@CorbCorbin]

It’s because the blood isn’t as tasty in the infected.

[@GoGojiraGo]

It's like how all killer animal/killer alien/killer whatever movies operate: the only thing on the menu is living untouched human beings.

[@herrderr1921]

They do fight each others. Two infected Dam Workers fight over a dead goat and the infected Native american guy fights with the infected black dude

[@michaelccozens]

@@herrderr1921 But that's motivated fighting, not the unmotivated violence they display towards the uninfected. At least with traditional zombies there's the excuse that it's pretty easy to tell cold rotting meat from the live variety.

I wonder if he will like the review.

[@monolophosaurus]

I totally thought this would be a Vampire Movie...

[@CrowandTalbot]

Unwarranted medical fact: rabies has been known to have an incubation period of up to a year. One of the most famous possible cases being Edgar Allen Poe who has been diagnosed posthumously with rabies by multitudes of doctors (his case is one of those used in med school to teach how to diagnose patients).

[@OlagGan]

Actually no one really knows how Edgar Allan Poe died. It has been thought to be anything from drinking. Drugs, to syphillis and some form of brain infection (something akin to rabies, or similar. I believe even a Brain tumor was suspected)

[@cwgodzilla]

Actually actually, Poe had been bitten by a vampire and contracted vampirism, but he was a total goth and thought vampires were total posers, and rather than become one, he waited for the sun to rise and kill him.

[@AverageAwesomeDude]

cwgodzilla and so I live, per se, nevermore

[@CorbCorbin]

OlagGan Or laying in the cold all night and dying from exposure.

[@aubreyackermann8432]

Not to mention, the real symptoms of rabies are far more terrifying. A simple headache, then a fever, paranoia, an irrational terror of water no matter how thirsty you become, loss of coordination, dementia, and death within a week of the first symptoms. It can't be detected in a blood test, there's no treatment, and it's entirely lethal. The poor person probably never finds out what's happening to them. One of the first things you forget are your family and friends, so you can't say goodbye.

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

“What does this L-whatever you call it do?” “It makes a person crazy.” “Wow.”

[@mrsamaritan6881]

I go into a movie called "I drink your blood" expecting vampires.

[@Manda1771]

"Oh my god, I can taste colors, I love everything, I realize now that there is no such thing as dying and that all of humanity is just a vibration riding the same beautiful wavelength. Quick Pete cue up The Wizard of Oz and put on Dark side of the Moon will yea." LOL Best part of the review.

[@CorbCorbin]

I’ll have you know, that Satan loves a little more cushion, for the demonic pushin’.

[@cgvapors963]

The woman driving the car at the end clearly got bit on the wrist by an infected rabis zombie. I was expecting a twist ending with her dripping foam from her mouth as she hugged that boyfriend guy. I'm amazed they just ignored the fact she was bitten.

[@captaincough2326]

"You can tell they're in love because they finish each other's exposition." You are fucking awesome.

That noise you were talking about at 12:35, is made with a monotron. I got one a while back and I'm totally addicted to making horrible (yet, strangely satisfying) noises with it.

[@WillieManga]

I think this is the sort of thing that should be featured on Kill Count. It's gonna be fun watching James try to count the amount of people killed in the finale.

[@frillydress]

Fr! It sounds cool!

[@AliceBowie]

Rabies is one of the most painful ways a human can die. They can treat it in the first few days, but if not dealt with, it becomes untreatable. Only one person has ever been cured of active rabies, if I recall correctly.

[@FabledHeroes3351]

I half expected this to be a a Vampire Flick

[@Isaac-hm6ih]

Only half? The title screams of vampirism.

[@chriswyble143]

I can watch this movie over and over. It's a blast and the synth score is awesome and bizarre. The performances are bad, ok, but they're never boring... and I'm way in love with the blond with the long hair and the magic eyes. She was also in Cat People and Romero's The Crazies. For some reason, it's always been considered a lot more gory than it actually is, just cause it's so sleazy. I loved your wrap-up at the end about the expectations of the audience. Couldn't agree more. This movie is a trash classic and a prime example of why I have no patience for modern-day, over-produced, under-delivering horror movies. You know the ones. You can usually spot the poster at the theater with the whole cast standing side by side looking ultra-serous and brooding.

[@garlandraines1855]

She was also in Shivers.

[@DarkFortressPictures_Official]

Chris Wyble Lynn is a Babe!

[@WillieManga]

The gore effects look fake as heck in this, but the nudity is definitely real. If you're into that sort of thing, as well as Tommy Wisseau quality production values, y'all should see the film for yourself.

[@nospam3327]

Her name is Lynn Lowry, she is in a bunch of great 70s movies, including Cronenberg's Shivers

[@SMunro]

This title reminds me of that movie where they are in a video rental... Clerk: "I drink your blood,..." Video Renter: "I'm planning a very intense weekend."

[@GoGojiraGo]

The name of my death metal band is going to be Babies With Rabies.

[@JeffreyDeCristofaro]

Probably what would happen if Herschel Gordon Lewis crossed the plot of Stephen King's CUJO with David Cronenberg's RABID and set it in a DELIVERANCE-type scenario - not really that well developed, but it more than makes up for those things with blood, sex, nudity and good old fashioned midnight cult gatherings. Nice to see that SHIVERS and THE CRAZIES hot chick Lynn Lowry was in this one - I'm a fan of her work, and she has gone on to do her own night club act with covers of jazz tunes from the 40's and 50's! (Not bad for someone with a career in exploitation films - I salute her!)

[@olddog476]

Best Rabies PSA ever.

[@themoviemaniac8416]

Filmed in 1970, it actually seems to have more of a 1960s feel to it.

[@willtheangrydudeist9120]

Jimmy Snuka? A young Harvey Keitel??? And fat chicks? So this is greatest movie ever, then???

[@TourettesOrc]

This is part of a double feature, the other one is titled “I Eat Your Skin”. I don’t really remember which one is worse, it’s possible I Eat Your Skin is.

[@BenJamin-en3jb]

That's a seperate movie? I've known those movie names for twenty years because of this song's intro kzbin.info/www/bejne/b53QaGOiiZ5oaLM but I always assumed it was one movie. Even after watching the trailer that the song's intro is taken from ;)

[@madsvigan2898]

I think movies never really read up on rabies. It doesnt make a serial killer, it makes you numb in your jaws and extremly hostile due to the large amount of pain you go into. Before mucles go numb, and the brain finally turns off due to the amount of stress and pain the body goes through

[@WillieManga]

It's the closest thing reality has to the T-Virus. Except it doesn't make demons, just zombies.

[@michaelccozens]

Another plot hole, not that it matters, is that it's very unlikely tainted meat would cause rabies. Stomach acid is a hell of a thing. Unless you had a cut in your mouth or some other way to get the virus directly into the muscle cells, it's not happening. Heck, lots of people drink various venoms for various cultural reasons without any apparent ill effects. One thing the movie did get right, likely unintentionally; it is theoretically possible for rabies to act as an STD, as it appears in sperm and vaginal secretions. There's only been a handful of recorded cases of human-to-human transmission, though, and those all occurred via the transplantation of infected organs, so as for sexual transmission, it's all hypothetical.

[@johnsoma6485]

Well, rabies is actually untreatable, with a near 100% fatality rate. Rabies is also almost impossible for a human to catch from an animal bite, which is why humans don't die from rabies animal bites, unless you are one of the unluckiest people on the planet. Unfortunately, dogs and cats don't have our immunity to rabies, so are in great danger from a rabid animal.

I love on the DVD audio commentary director explained that Lynn Lowry (pretty mute girl) came to set with someone long after production was already started, and he and some other crew members thought she was gorgeous and had that innocent look to her, so they decided to put her in the movie because, well, everyone loves pretty girl and they thought this would help sell the movie. This is the reason why she's mute in the movie, because she was added into movie scenes after production has already began and lot of scenes were already filmed.
