A Bucket Of Blood (1959)

My rating - 6.5/10

A young man accidently kills a cat. He covers it in plaster and tries to pass it off as his own sculpture and when people like it and want more he moves onto humans but needs to murder them first.

Dick Miller stars in what's often considered to be the first black comedy. Directed by Roger Corman, this fun little flick is not often talked about much these days but it's well worth seeking out. Miller is great in the lead and the rest of the cast do a good job. The script is good and the human "sculptures" look great. Despite it's fun, comedic overtones it still has a pretty downbeat ending. I've always loved this one and if you've not seen a Roger Corman flick before then this is a good one to start with as it's quite possibly his best.
