Scourge of Blood

About This Movie

Scourge of Blood is a curious piece from 1984, blending crime and horror in a gritty, almost erratic way. The film follows a seemingly random act of violence - a man just stabs a stranger, which sets off a chain of events that feels oddly unsettling. The tone is heavy; it has this grim atmosphere that makes you question the motivations behind such brutality. Practical effects are rough around the edges but striking, capturing that raw 80s vibe. The pacing is uneven, shifting gears without much warning, which adds to the disorientation. Performances are a mixed bag, some quite intense, leaving an impression. It’s not polished, but that’s part of its strange charm. Definitely sticks with you in an unexpected way.
