Nonsense Galore
BLOOD MANIA features an old man who is sick and slowly dying. His daughter, Victoria, lives with him but the two can't seem to stand each other. The man's doctor, Dr. Cooper, is blackmailed by a former colleague for $50,000. It is money he doesn't have and has no idea where he will get it. Victoria has a thing for Dr. Cooper and agrees to give him part of her inheritance if he'll help her get rid of dear old dad. But, there is another daughter, named Gail, who returns home for the reading of her father's will and as it turns out dad leaves her most everything and Victoria just enough to live upon. Well, Victoria goes crazy and Gail falls for Dr. Cooper and things just turn nonsensical. Characters and key subplots (for instance, Dr. Cooper's wife who is featured prominently in the beginning of the movie) disappear as though they never existed. There's very little blood or gore. The dialogue seems like it was written by a native-speaking Chinese person who tried to translate bad Spanish into English. Oh, and the acting is atrocious. The ending does have a bit of a twist, but like most of the rest of the movie it doesn't really make any sense either. The movie is good for a few laughs, but that's about it.
