Night of the Blood Beast Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman November 8, 2024

Film Masters is continuing its trek through some wacky monster movies, many of which had some kind of connection to the iconic Corman Brothers, Roger and Gene. This particular pairing offers two Gene Corman productions, both directed by Bernard L. Kowalski, and both offering some frankly ludicrous creatures along with typically florid 1950s plot dynamics. As has often been the case with these cult offerings from Film Masters, the label has provided some enjoyable supplements, and they also offer Night of the Blood Beast in two aspect ratios. In this particular case of another veritable double feature from Film Masters, the advertised "main attraction", Night of the Blood Beast, is in considerably better shape in the video quality department than the dreaded "second billed" Attack of the Giant Leeches.

Night of the Blood Beast Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  2.5 of 5

This pair of late fifties Corman monster flicks should appeal to genre aficionados, at least those with jaded senses of humor. Technical merits vary between the two presentations, but the supplements are really engaging, for anyone who may be considering making a purchase.
