![“Makes Ed Wood look like Stanley Kubrick…in a word, in-freakin’-credible. I’ve seen my share of really bad movies but this one’s a stunner. It’s undeniably unique: an anti-drug gore film with a pro-Christian message [and a killer creature with a turkey head!]” – Eccentric Cinema
BLOOD FREAK plays on Friday, November 20 at 9 p.m. Just $3!
Blood Freak is undeniably one of the strangest cult horror films of the 1970s, blending exploitation cinema, anti-drug messaging, and one of the most ridiculous monsters ever committed to celluoid into a truly unforgettable experience. The story follows Herschell, a Vietnam veteran who drifts into drug use after taking a job at a turkey farm. When he becomes the subject of a bizarre experiment involving chemically altered turkey meat, he undergoes a grotesque transformation into a bloodthirsty creature with the head of a giant turkey. Equal parts horror, cautionary tale, and fever dream, Blood Freak has rightfully earned a lasting reputation as one of the worst (and most utterly baffling) movies ever made. You may be too terrified to eat your Thanksgiving dinner after watching this turkey!](https://arkadincinema.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
