La Plage sanglante

Bon film !

OK blood beach, a lot of people and critics hated it,i loved it.i liked the cast,the plot,the acting,the monster needed a little work.the soundtrack music i especially liked.Burt young plays a good sleaze ball in this making Paulie from rocky look like a saint.i originally seen this at a drive in movie with a date,so i didn't remember a lot till i seen it on cable years later.the ending screams sequel,but i guess it was'not in the cards.wish they would release this on DVD soon.Marianna hill was the greatest b-movie actress of the 70s and 80s.this being her best,well after her role as frados drunken girlfriend in godfather(72). john Saxon as the police chief with that memorable line;just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water,you cant get to it.classic b-movie schlock.blood beach is the bomb.6 out of 10

Something or someone is attacking people one by one on the beach.Some of them are mutilated,but most of them are sucked into the sand, disappearing without a trace.What is the creature responsible?Where does it live and where did it come from?Is there any chance of it reproducing?Meanwhile David Huffman and Mariana Hill are once-almost-married old friends,reunited over the death of her mother on the beach and searching for clues in the abandoned buildings where they used to play when they were young."Blood Beach" is a cheesy monster movie with an octopus-like creature.The pace is glacial and some scenes are drawn-out to the point of being dull.The characters are flat and unpleasant.Still if you are a purveyor of trashy and cheesy 80's horror you can't miss "Blood Beach".6 out of 10.

Blood Beach is a bad film, in all aspects. The dialogue's extremely dull, sleep-worthy. You got harbor patrol guy Harry like in "Jaws," he isn't the least bit memorable though. Also, here there are dull romances and friendships as well. You got Burt Young on set, walking around laughing and saying stupid crap. The creature or predator's almost non-existent and then briefly a blob of sorts. Then in the credits after it's been blown apart, the pieces regenerate all over the beach, I think. What was happening in the credits was the most interesting part for me.

This movie has an interesting story and you're not likely to predict what it is that is taking the lives of the characters in the film. The story takes place on a beach and when people begin to disappear it haves you wondering what it is. It will, however, keep you interested and the ending is not half bad either. To say that this is the best SCARY movie would be incorrect, however to say that it is the most unique is quite true. I really enjoyed this movie and I can honestly say that it had it's own unique style. See it if you haven't and if you can find it. It is a rare one and they don't make horror films like this anymore!!! This was a suspenseful film that caught me off guard on a few occasions and I hope I never have to experience that kind of terror. Released in 1980 to movie theatres and to video in 1982, this movie had a strange story, but a good story as well!!!

It may not be great but, it's got John Saxon in it, it's got a bit of blood and hell, it's not any worse than all the rest of the flicks that had Blood in the title from this period. And it must have been at least a pain in the ass to do those "sinking in the sand" effects! Maybe if they release this thing on DVD (why are most of the Vestron flicks still not out?), may be then it'll get at least the same attention and cult like favor that My Bloody Valentine and other such crap gets. All in all, a drive-in classic. After all that's what it was made for! See it and judge for yourself!

Blood Beach rocks, it has everything a Saturday night movies needs from a giant phallic monster to a scene where every few moments the mic drops into shot. A popcorn monster flick giving a unique angle on the Jaws theme. Some good gore FX and a good few jumpy moments elevate this one above the usual rubber monster crowd and the sand FX are actually deeply scary. I have been keeping an eye out for this one for a while but have as yet not found a copy. It could keep you away from the seaside forever, Jaws will keep you out of the water but Blood Beach will put you back in the car and send you home.
