What's more tedious than a low-budget cheesy horror flick? A behind-the-scenes look at the making of same. Director Tim Ritter, auteur of Killing Spree and other direct-to- video classics had a hit with the indie film Truth or Dare way back in the early video days of 1986, but then the video pipeline squeezed tighter than a Republican's fist at a welfare program fundraiser, and Mr. Ritter found himself out of the loop, distribution-wise. Blinded by the Blood purports to show indie filmmakers how to "deliver the final motion picture--from scripting, to casting, through production, and finally to the all-important distribution." Well, not exactly. The majority of the video consists of three items: watching people set-up for a bloody sequence, seeing the final scene, and watching cast and crew mug for the camera. Five minutes of this would go a long way; an hour's worth will have you wanting to rev a chainsaw up and do a little on the spot editing of your own. Not recommended. Aud: P. (R. Pitman)
