As unsettling as it is funny, Bloodsucking Freaks is a brilliant satire of the grindhouse slasher, and in a way, serves as a commentary on how critics view extreme gore films such as this through a reductive and moralistic lens and refuse to engage with them beyond their biases, and unsurprisingly, this film was lumped in with the rest of the schlock when it was released.
On another note, bring BDSM back into the slasher genre. These modern movies need more balls.
