[edit] Film synopsis
An eccentric artist is criticized by a well-known critic at the opening of his gallery that he does not have a good sense of colour. He therefore starts a new series of paintings, for which he uses his own blood as paint. Soon however, he is too weak due to blood loss and begins using the blood of young women instead.
[edit] Production
During the making of Color Me Blood Red, Lewis and Friedman considered making a fourth "Blood" film to be titled Suburban Roulette. Friedman felt that the "super blood and gore" film market was nearing the saturation point, and decided stop working in the series.[1]
