A horror movie about a group of tourists in Florida who are attacked by a chilling group of backwoods psychopaths.
This197 8 slasher film is better than it should be. This could very well be the granddaddy of the backwoods slasher film. Deliverance (by many) helped kick-start the crazy backwoods family plot line, but Bloodstalkers did it even before Friday the 13th. Now, I'm referring mainly to the kill scenes and the setup thereof, as we have a number of death scenes that were copied in some of the Friday the 13th flicks.
It's safe to say that the director of Bloodstalkers (Robert W. Morgan), was influenced by Italian horror guru, Mario Bava, as a couple of scenes were downright copied from Bay of Blood. aka Twitch of the Death Nerve.
This post isn't meant to be a review, but a catalyst to spark your interests. The director himself is now offering a newly released dvd of Bloodstalkers - complete with a personal autograph and blurb of your choice. (I thought the godamn director was dead) The film also has a few extras and comes with a copy of the day to day diary of the shoot compiled and written by director Robert W. Morgan. All for just $19.95 - and this includes shipping.
Here's a link to the main site where you can purchase or order the dvd.
