Boobs and Blood International Film Festival Tuesday, September 21, 2010
You know what would be a great name for a blaxploitation vampire film? Hemoglobin Jones. Unfortunately, that movie has yet to be made. (Roger Corman, call me!) Plenty more high-concept atrocities brimming with boobs and blood have been made, and you can view a choice selection at the Boobs and Blood International Film Festival, a decadent three-day celebration of gore and areola. The festivities kick off Friday with mistresses of alt-erotica the Suicide Girls on hand for an uncensored screening of their nude-models-at-a-remote-cabin horror movie Suicide Girls Must Die, presented in "3D-O-Vision." Saturday is "Hurrah! It's Boobs! Day," which is a much better idea for a national holiday than Crab Meat Newburg Day, which September 25 also is. Onscreen: Mega Piranha (courtesy Syfy, the cable TV channel soon to deliver Sharktopus), Pervert: The Movie (with star Mary Carey in the flesh), and a double feature of Japanese "pink" films, low-budget softcore flicks taken to out-of-their-mind levels as only the Japanese can. Sunday wraps up the mayhem with Vampyres (1973 Playboy Playmate Anulka Dziubinska in person), the S&M Hunter (his super power? extreme bondage!), and Fred Olen Ray's Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers. Awards, too, including Lifetime Achievement and Psychotronic Humanitarian of the Year. New Beverly Cinema, 7165 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles; Fri.-Sun., Sept. 24-26; $10 per screening, $50 three-day pass; tickets at brownpapertickets.com/event/127917; schedule at boobsandblood.com.
