I just purchased the Blu-Ray Olive Signature version of this film. Even though my review was made in 2016, I'm updating it a bit for people who are looking to upgrade. My old review is not much of a review. I should probably review the actual movie one of these days.
I'm still giving this movie 5 stars because I like it!
NEW REVIEW: Olive Signature edition
BLU-RAY PICTURE: This is a new 4K scan. Don't expect miracles. The picture is nice but it is far from perfect. There is a lot of film grain and the picture is not as sharp as I hoped. This is a 'noirish' type of film so there is a lot
of nighttime and 'shadowy' scenes. Overall, I 'd have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the picture. I'm not saying that it is a wasted effort but it's just not as good as I had hoped. The movie is shown in widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
EXTRA'S: There are plenty of extra's and these help make this a good release. The extra's are:
-Audio Commentary with Ilijah Drenner - Drenner is the director of 'That Guy Dick Miller'. So he is the go to guy for a movie such as this where Dick Miller gets a rare starring role.
-Roger Corman interview :'Creation is. All Else is Not' - This is a short recent interview with Corman.
-Interview with Dick and Lainie Miller on a Bucket of Blood "Call me Paisley" - Miller is very old in this interview. He would pass away a short time after it was made. The good news is that he still has his wits and he is able to
recall a lot of stuff. His wife is sharper than he is. Overall, it's a good interview and worth watching.
-Archival interview with screenwriter Charles B. Griffith
-'Bits of Bucket' - This is a visual essay comparing the original script to the final script of the film.
-Prologue from German release of this movie.
-Super 8 version of this movie. - This is one of the those shortened video's that you used to be able to purchase a
long time ago.
-Theatrical Trailer
-German Theatrical Trailer
-Gallery of newly-discoverd on-set photography.

MY OLD REVIEW: Film Detective version
This movie was very well done and I was caught off guard as to how good it was. Good in the way that 'Little Shop of Horrors' was good. It was meant to be a quickly made low budget film and it turned into something more.
Though not as big a fan of Roger Corman as many others, he does a great job with a low budget here. Dick Miller turns in a great performance as a waiter with low self esteem who wants to impress the artist community he serves.
The Blu-ray transfer is decent, but not exactly great. Still, it's great to be able to get a blu-ray on movie such as this.
Highly recommended and well worth the $9.99 purchase price on Amazon.

A companion piece to John Waters' Pecker
2011年2月21日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Bucket of Blood is a hilarious horror film where the action takes place in the middle of the most amazingly crafted portrayal of the late-fifties beatnick movement, only a few notches above Reefer Madness in it's exageration of the stereotypes but completely knowing and very clever.
Amusingly, it is also a perfectly workable pastiche of performance art from the fifties until now, the opening poetry reading goes the 5% too far to acknowledge that it is sending up the genre without needing to become too cartoony or insulting our intelligence. While the plot of the film is pure horror fun, a lot of care has been taken with creating the beatnick world, with credible musicians, affected artists, dubious aesthetics and a perfect send up of how arbitrary objects (in this case a dead cat impaled on a knife covered in clay) can attain significance in such an abstract world.
The story is simple enough, Walter is a slow-witted waiter in an art cafe with ambitions to become an artist while being taunted by the customers. In a fluke accident he stabs a cat in the cavity between plasterboard walls and covers the cat, knife and all with clay and gingerly presents the 'piece' to the art community, who, of course see all kinds of meanings in what they think is a sculpture.
The story spirals as Walter moves on to people, each with great horror-film reasons for the victims finding their way into his work before tension mounts as the cafe owner, with a financial interest in Walter's collectable work, knows the truth but lets Walter hold an art show and his secret becomes more and more precarious.
I won't spoil the ending but apparently it doesn't end how you'd guess because they didn't have enough clay!
In the same way that John Water's Pecker Pecker [DVD] [1999] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC ]
is a love story that plays with the New York art scene, Bucket of Blood is a horror story that plays with the beatnick art moevement and because those worlds continue today, I suspect it will be timeless as a dig at pretention.
It's a lot of fun.

Dick Miller, one of the more popular character actors in Hollywood, whom I remember most from such movies as Gremlins (1984), Matinee (1993), and Demon Knight (1995) stars in this Roger Corman classic from 1959.
Miller is Walter Paisley, a simple-minded man with high aspirations who works in a beatnik coffee shop, The Yellow Door, as a busboy. He desperately wants to fit in, but finds himself usually the butt of jokes from some of the more pretentious bohemian crowd. The main reason for Walter's desire to be in the 'in crowd' is Carla, played by Barboura Morris, who I just saw in another Corman movie, The Wasp Woman (1960). Carla also works at The Yellow Door, and is really the only one that treats Walter with respect and kindness. One night while at home, Walter is struggling with some clay, trying to create a bust of Carla, but his efforts are in vain. After accidentally killing his landlord's cat with a knife, Walter tries to hide what he did by covering the cat, and the protruding knife, with clay and inadvertently creates his first work of art, aptly titled 'Dead Cat'. Walter soon gains acclaim for his sculpture, and his career as an artist is born. The pressure of coming up with new pieces leads him to use human models creating grisly, realistic, highly detailed sculptures of figures in death throes. Soon Walter becomes the talk of the community, with fame and fortune sure to follow...or does it?
I really enjoyed this movie, which is basically an update of one of my favorite movies, House of Wax (1953) starring Vincent Price. The beatnik angle played nicely off the more gruesome elements of the movie, providing levity in this dark psuedo comedy. What I really liked was the beatniks were shown in different fashion, some being played for comedic effect, while others being played a little more seriously. There wasn't a sense of trivializing the movement, but more of poking a little fun at it. Some other actors I recognized were Ed Nelson, whom I recently saw in Night of the Blood Beast (1958) and perennial 70's TV favorite and host of many a game show, Bert Convy, looking so very young I almost didn't recognize him. Along with Dick Miller's performance, I also really enjoyed the barrel-chested beat poet character Maxwell H. Brock, played by Julian Burton. He delivers some truly interesting poetry in eloquent fashion.
The film has a short run time, at 66 minutes, which tended to keep the pacing snappy. Corman really shows why, even though his movie may have been made cheaply, they didn't always have to look cheap, with his professional direction and ability to keep things interesting by drawing out great performances from his actors. The case does mention a trailer for A Bucket of Blood included, but I found none. What I did find was an excellent copy of the film on this DVD, well worth getting if you enjoy black humor.

A Bucket of Blu Ray, an Olive Signature Review
2019年12月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I’ve watched the Olive Signature blu ray version of Bucket of Blood and compared it to the MGM release that came out in 2000.
Honestly, I can’t see that much difference in picture quality or sound quality. But the film quality itself may not be the big selling point with this release.
The big difference here are the features that come with this DVD. The Roger Corman interview (that was recently done) is fun and informative. He states that Bucket of Blood was shot in five days on a $50,000 budget, and its success led to Little Shop of Horrors.
Also, the Dick Miller interview conducted by his loving wife is a joy to watch. And the feature comparing unused portions of the script to the actual film is extremely well done.
Plus there are other fact filled features and commentary that make this release worth adding to any fan’s collection who loves early Roger Corman films, the legendary Dick Miller, or just plain fun-filled low budget movies.
