Night of the Blood Beasts is goofy, late night fun, the kind you were forced to watch before cable provided 500 channels with nothing on. The story is yet another film were a dead astronaut returns from space and inhuman atrocities occur. (See The Incredible Melting Man) The twist here is that the dead astronaut’s blood stream is incubating alien cells. The monster itself makes a surprising number of apperances in this low-budget, black & white sci-fi film. Director Bernard Kowalski was never one to shy away from revealing his movies monsters. This is the same man who gave cinema giant leeches (Attack of the Giant Leeches) that looked like trash bags with teeth. The only thing less believable is that their are mountains in Florida. That’s where this story is supposed to take place, but the skyline says otherwise.
