Description
Step into the bizarre world of Walter Paisley, a socially awkward and artistically inept busboy at a trendy Bohemian café. Surrounded by beatnik poets, sculptors, and painters, Walter yearns for recognition and creative success. His fortunes take a macabre turn when he accidentally kills his landlady’s cat and, in a panic, covers the body in plaster. Mistaken for avant-garde art, the piece earns him sudden acclaim and opens the door to fame among the café’s elite.
But with no real talent and desperate to maintain his new reputation, Walter turns to increasingly sinister methods—using real human victims to create his next “masterpieces.” As the body count rises, so does his notoriety, and the line between artist and murderer begins to blur in this darkly satirical cult classic directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles B. Griffith.
Directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles B. Griffith, A Bucket of Blood was shot in just five days on a shoestring budget. Despite its modest production, the film has become a significant entry in American cult cinema, praised for its sharp satire of the art world and the beatnik movement. It didn’t win major awards but has earned lasting recognition, inspiring remakes, stage adaptations, and academic study.
