Blood Shack or The Chooper [1971]

 From the guy who brought us The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, we have Blood Shack, originally known as The Chooper. That is not a spelling error for Chopper. The film is barely an hour long and pretty easy to summarize. There's an abandoned shack in the desert that is supposed to be haunted by The Chooper, a being who kills everyone who enters. The shack is kind of guarded by a shirtless man named Daniel who buries people after they're killer there but isn't actually the killer. After a dumb girl who decides to stay there alone and subsequently dies, the owner of the land comes to check it out. She has a guy who keeps badgering her to sell it but she refuses. Then she goes to the rodeo a bunch. More people die from just getting close to the shack, and Daniel dutifully buries them for some reason. Finally the landowner is attacked by the Chooper and his mask is taken off to reveal that it was the guy who wanted the land. Obviously. Daniel also gets stabbed by him and dies.

The was actually pretty funny from an acting and directing stance. It's also pretty short so even if you don't like it much, it won't last long. Afterwards we watched a pasta maker infomercial that was okay.
