Blu-ray Review: A Bucket of Blood (1959): Olive Signature Edition

Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) is a lowly busboy at a beatnik haven called The Yellow Door Cafe…the type of place that’s just lousy with sax solos, poetry, and artists (oh, and berets). Now our hero wants nothing more than to be just like the hep cats what populate that establishment mentioned up yonder, but his skill set is akin to that of an armless chimp rolling in Play-doh. But, as fate would have it after an incident involving a steak knife, a plaster wall, and a now ex-cat, ol’ Walter discovers he can create a celebrated work of art by simply slapping some clay over that dead feline. You can just guess what happens next; more accidents lead to more “sculptures” and even more accolades…but also rouses the suspicions of undercover detectives casing The Yellow Door (not to mention the Cafe’s owner who stumbles on Walter’s secret but balances his horror with the growing financial gain the morbid work generates).

New Info Surfaces For Piranha Sequel – Fish Hybrids !

Back in February, we reported that a new ‘Piranha’ film is in the works. Titled ‘Piranha JPN’ in Japan and ‘Summer of the Piranha’ internationally, the film will be produced by Hisako Tsukuba who has produced every film of the franchise since the 1978 original. New information has come to light. Roger Corman has now signed on as a producer. This is not the first film in the franchise that he has worked on. The other interesting piece of information is that some of the new piranha will actually be hybrids, half piranha and half tuna. Yes, I said Tuna. That means the fish will be bigger and faster. Set to be released some time in 2018, filming will begin this summer. We will update you when we know more. In the meantime, if you go for a dip watch out, “there’s something in the water”.
