A mysterious alien virus which manifests itself as a deadly gust of wind transforms the local yokels in a sleepy small Texas town into pasty-faced bloodthirsty zombies. Laid-back photographer Jeff Rhodes (a solid and engaging performance by Thom Meyers) and his sweet newfound girlfriend Julie (the adorable Laura Ellis) do their best to stay alive and survive this harrowing ordeal. Writer/director Glen Coburn delivers a delightfully dry'n'deadpan tongue-in-cheek send-up of schlocky low-budget fright flicks that comes through with plenty of priceless gut-busting dialogue (all-time favorite line: "You cut my *beep*ing arm off!"), broadly drawn redneck caricatures, and spot-on sidesplitting jokes about such worthy subjects as huffing nitrous oxide, kinky sex, racism, and gung-ho military fanaticism. Moreover, the make-up for the zombies is hilariously horrible and there's a few cool moments of gory over-the-top splatter which include a juicy decapitation, dismemberment, and several lovely shots of folks vomiting up uproariously unconvincing watery blood. The enthusiastic acting from a likable cast of mostly no-name amateurs further enhances the picture's considerable screwball appeal: Meyers and Ellis make for charming leads, Dennis Letts has a field day as brash ramrod General Sanders, token name Pat Paulsen contributes an amusing cameo as a preoccupied lecher President of the United States, plus there are neat turns by Robert Bradeen as the mean Uncle Joe, Kris Nicolau as nerdy Brit-accented doctor Jeri Jett, Chris Heldman as the amiable Deputy Sam, Big John Brigham as paranoid janitor Norman, Jim Stafford as the oafish Buford, and Billie Keller as the dotty Aunt Kate. The bleak and desolate Lone Star State locations add some tasty regional flavor to the infectiously wacky proceedings. The incredibly catchy'n'groovy 80's New Wave rock theme song seriously smokes. Chad D. Smith's purposefully static cinematography might be rough around the edges, but it does the trick all the same. A total riot.

Since an early age I have been a fan of B movies and Cult classics. I remember watching Blood suckers from Outer Space when I was about 9 year's old. My whole family hated the movie but I was hooked! This movie is way funny and I agree with other comments, it's a must see for anyone who loves bad acting, card board props and lot's of fake blood shot through tubes.This is one of my all time fav. movies and because of that, I will be attempting my first script ever "Zombie Dogs" which is inspired by your's truly "Blood Suckers From Outer Space". I hope they bring this movie back out! The second that it's on DVD, I'm going to buy it. A must for all B movie collections!

One of the best B movie soundtracks I've heard. The movie is goofy but fun and I hear a DVD is in the works. In answer to one of the commentators above, no the film makers were not serious. Also for any child of the 60's you get to see Pat Paulson fulfill his dream of being President of the United States. I also suspect he enjoyed being surrounded by a bevy of babes. Pat Paulson accounts for the lions share of the budget, obviously. When it was actually touring theaters, in South America and Southern Europe, it had to use "Bloodsuckers from another Planet" so that it wouldn't step on the audience for "Clowns from Outer Space" which I've never seen. I wonder if the clowns were bloodsuckers? There is no doubt the bloodsuckers were clowns.

"Bloodsuckers from Outer Space" pretty much...SUCKED!! It was one of the worst movies ever. I think the worst part was the acting. That pretty much killed it all. The two "heroes"--a failing photographer and girl he meets somehow--are the least likable characters ever. And I always wished they would just die. But there was barely any action anyhow! Just a bunch of mindless drool. I'll admit it, I was only watching this with half my attention span. But believe me, you didn't need much to understand how bad this movie was!The dialogue was some of the funniest. The photographer telling his human-turned-bloodsucker friend, "You're not getting any blood out of us." Or, when the two start physically fighting, when the girl turns and looks at the camera and says, "I can't take another kung-fu scene!" Then she runs downstairs and hits the friend's girlfriend. Also, when the two find that the guy's aunt and uncle are bloodsuckers, the aunt tells the girl, "I've got a recipe for spaghetti you'll just love." The way she says it had me laughing hysterically!Also note--there were no deaths except for those who were turned into the creatures. Maybe a few army guys died, that's about it. And also, there is no specified reason why and how this all happened. But the way the guy's friends are turned into bloodsuckers is so funny. They're in the shower, and the curtain is somewhat see-through. They start screaming, and you see them literally throwing blood against the curtain from the bottom of the shower. To make it look like they're getting killed. It is so horrible!!I don't think there really was a climax. I think the movie just sort of ended on an odd note. Like, everything was okay...or maybe not. One of those crappy endings. Please, avoid this movie AT ALL COSTS!! It is one the worst movies ever made! But if you need to see how bad it is, I say, rent it if you find it. You can laugh at the terrible acting.
