This movie has all the things a horror movie should have with suspenseful and bloody kill scenes along with nudity and sex.. But this movie suffered from poor acting along with a script that could have been better written as it had some plot holes in it plus the cinematography was poorly done in some scenes. However the soundtrack was decent and the scene with a woman trying to seduce the pool boy was hilarious which is why I gave it 5 stars.

Midpoint spoilers.Dr. Craig Cooper (Peter Carpenter) is being blackmailed for $50,000 because he performed abortions to get through med school (1970 film). He ends up sleeping with Victoria (Maria De Aragon) a "young and evil soul" who is willing to give him the money after she struck out with the pool boy (Reid Smith). Her daddy (Eric Allison) has a bad heart and is attended to by Cooper who works at his clinic. Meanwhile Craig's girlfriend Cheryl (Reagan Wilson) is sleeping with the blackmailer Larry Mills (Arell Blanton) to try to pay him off.The film opens up with a scantily clad woman (Vicki Peters) running through the woods being followed and caught by a man walking slowly. The story wasn't put together too well. If not for the evil over-sexed Victoria, it wouldn't be a film.Guide: Sex and nudity (Vicki Peters, Maria De Aragon, Reagan Wilson)

There are people who are keen to point out Peter Carpenter's back- to-back 1970/1971 films Blood Mania and Point of Terror aren't horror movies at all. Which is in a sense fair, because the promotional material would lead one to believe that they were, but so what? Still others want us to know they think Carpenter was a Tom Jones wannabee and the music in Point of terror is bad. So what? Blood Mania and Point of Terror are perfectly trashy and entertaining pieces of early 70's schlock that are unique, wonderfully shot, and chock full of pretty people to look at.Tonight I'm watching Blood Mania for the first time, and I have to say it's a lot of fun. Not in the traditional sense of the word "fun," but the sense someone who enjoys seeing movies that are unusual and enjoys finding something new and unique. Sure, peter Carpenter probably didn't have the chops to be a leading man in A movies, but he was every bit up to carrying these B movies on his shoulders, surrounding himself with beautiful scenery and beautiful women, and telling an outrageous story that challenges ones ability to believe. It's sort of shame as a movie fan that we don't get these kinds of movies anymore. I mean we get bad movies, but not these kinds of bad movies. Blood Mania is an entertaining movie for those who aren't looking to waste their own time picking it apart.

Robert Vincent O'Neill directs this low budget exploitation flick about greed...and sex. A young sex-crazed woman plots to kill her bed ridden father for his money. There is some complications. Her own sister is actually the beneficiary and she has uses for the inheritance. Plus the dying man's own doctor would like to get his hands on the money to pay a blackmailer, who is wanting to out him for some abortions in his past. The young sleazy Dr. Cooper(Peter Carpenter)has more than enough scenes shirtless and in the company of a pretty topless or nude admirer. Not a lot of gore, but some moderately disturbing images in the film's final moments. Pretty lame and forgettable, except for the nudity. Others in the cast: Maria De Aragon, Vicki Peters, Eric Allison, Reagan Wilson, Arell Blanton and Alex Rocco.
