"Blood, Boobs and Beasts" Doc Looks Great

Just released on DVD this week, the documentary "Blood, Boobs and Beasts" looks to be right up our alley.

It's not exactly what you think though. This feature length documentary follows Don Dohler, a B-Movie director since the early 1980's. The doc focuses in on his career as of late, and his disillusionment with the low budget formula, namely "blood, boobs and beasts".

It's a well known fact that when you're talking super low budget cinema, those are the things that can help guarantee you make your money back on DVD sales. One has to wonder, as Dohler obviously does, whether or not that's ultimately a good thing. Surely a limited amount of these things will never hurt anyone, but it does make you wonder at what point as horror fans do we stand up and demand more? Demand a bit of intellectual value to our films, even our low budget ones?

At Bloody Good Horror, we have on more than one occasion been accused of taking horror too seriously. Of course, our review of "Poultrygeist" will hopefully quell some of that noise. Still, even someone as crazy as Lloyd Kaufman takes what he does very seriously, and only seems to be using the low-brow humor in order to get across broader messages.

That's not the case with the type of cinema that Dohler is working in. And no matter what your feelings on the subject, this looks to be a great documentary for horror fans who enjoy exploring all aspects of the genre they love, even ones that may be construed as negative. I'm in the process of trying to track this film down right now, so hopefully you should see a full writeup in the near future.

Here's the trailer, let me know what you guys think in the comments. Also, for more information you can visit BBBVideokitchen.tv.

(editor's note: there is some slight sexiness in the trailer, but no bare breasts that I could discern. consider it SFW if you're at a fairly liberal workplace)
