BUCKET OF BLOOD

“A valuable transition film between Corman’s monster marathons of the Fifties and his beautifully polished Gothic horrors in the Sixties.” - Mondo Digital

Roger Corman’s definitive funniest film, and one of his greatest high-concept horrors, A BUCKET OF BLOOD is a blast from start to fast finish. Not a moment is wasted in this 66-minute chef’s-kiss. Cult film patron saint Dick Miller stars as creepy waiter Walter Paisley, who, after being relentlessly teased by the boss and customers at a beatnik café, accidentally impales his landlady’s cat on a knife…covers the body in plaster…and passes it off as an intentional sculpture. When all the beatniks suddenly exalt Walter as an artistic genius, he gets to urge to keep “creating”...but how long can Walter carry on this gruesome charade?
