Roger Corman
strikes again, bringing us an updated version of one of his earliest films, A
BUCKET OF BLOOD. This 1995 re-telling
features an all-star cast of B-listers, including Anthony Michael Hall, Justine
Bateman (forgot how cute she was), and many others. In terms of horror, it’s a rather slight
affair – focusing instead on getting laughs by mocking the self-conciously
arty. But in doing so I have to admit I
enjoyed myself – it was short, quick, and entertaining. Could have used a little more buckets of
blood, but otherwise, I can’t complain.
