A Bucket of Blood

Still of Dick Miller in A Bucket of BloodA Bucket of Blood


1959 - Roger Corman strikes again! These B-movies are timeless in a myriad of ways. Actually this one was remade in 1995. But I believe there is something about seeing them in black & white that just can't translate well if made into color.
Some of the pithy tongue-in cheek one liners are provokingly thoughtful:
"blind fish swimming in a cave of aloneness"
"this could bring a return to realism" as they view "real life" sculptures
"all that is--comes through the eye of an artist"
The film is black humor towards the "art world."  I liked this movie very much. It seems psychological thrillers are my "horror" film of choice.

Great selection Professor Tom !
