Blood Couple 1973

Directed by Bill Gunn

After being stabbed with an ancient, germ-infested knife, a doctor's assistant finds himself with an insatiable desire for blood. The Ganja And Hess’ producers, Kelly-Jordan Enterprises, were discouraged by the poor box office numbers and unhappy with the film's unusual structure and style. Kelly-Jordan took the film out of distribution and sold it to another company, Heritage Enterprises, which issued a rescored and drastically recut version under the title Blood Couple. This version (disowned by Gunn) was released on VHS under various titles.
