February 1, 2014Taking a cue from Roger Corman's A Bucket of Blood, Color Me Blood Red tells the story of an artist who begins killing people in the name of art. The artist first realizes that he needs the crimson red blood to complete his masterpieces when his girlfriend cuts her finger and bleeds on one of his canvases. His fans start offering thousands of dollars for his bloody new paintings, but he refuses to sell. He retreats into his house on the beach and tries to rekindle his own artistic abilities without using blood anymore. That is until some stupid, horny teenagers show up on his beach. Eventually he gets found out and the owner of the gallery where his paintings were takes one of the paintings out back and burns it. The movie was intentionally campy, so don't expect a taut thriller or any horror. It knows its place as a B-Movie, and it works as such. The acting is incredibly cheesy, and the plot is deliberately goofy. Color Me Blood Red was the third part of Herschell Gordon Lewis' (The Godfather of Gore) infamous Blood Trilogy (Blood Feast, Two-Thousand Maniacs, Color Me Blood Red).
