Blood Mania (1970)
5/10
More Film Noir than horror film. It does have its moments, but it also has a great deal of talk.

Sleazy film about a swinging doctor who is lusted after by the daughter of his boss. He won't give her the time of day and she's very unhappy about it. When a blackmailer begins to really pressure the doctor he takes up with the daughter and the pair plan on doing the old man in. Unfortunately the old man left his money to her sister. The doctor of course takes up with the sister and thats where things spiral even more out of control.

More thriller then horror film, its more Grand Guignol meets Film Noir with the except for a couple of shocking images at the end. The film is filled with nudity, sex and bad behavior. To me its an okay time killer but nothing I need see again. The rub is that this is a very talky movie. Things do happen but there is a great deal of talk on either side of any motion.

Not the worst you're going to see nor the best. Worth a look if you're like me and pick it up as part of a multiple film DVD set.
