== Plot ==
The lead characters, one black and one white and both racists, are Donnie played by Andre Ware and Doug played by [[Steve Hedden]].  They co-inherit a [[trailer park]] near the [[Joshua Tree National Monument]], southeastern California.  Despite their antagonism, they join forces to battle a monster created by retired cultists living in the park and stalking its other denizens. Eventually they discover that they are [[fraternal twins]], whose Caucasian archeologist mother [[Shirley Jones]] was married to an African-American serviceman.

== Reception ==
The movie debuted in March, 2004 as ''Bloodhead'' at the San Francisco Horror Film Festival/Another Hole in the Head and was reviewed for ''Variety'' by Dennis Harvey, who wrote "Working on a larger scale than usual, Christopher Coppola cooks up an idiosyncratic dish in "Bloodhead" aka "The Curse of Bloodhead," which pays tribute to drive-in monster flicks, '70s TV icons..."<ref>{{cite web |author=Dennis Harvey |url=https://variety.com/2004/film/reviews/bloodhead-1200534126/ |title=Bloodhead |work=Variety |date=April 6, 2004 |access-date=2019-07-10}}</ref> Harvey singled out supporting performances by Lynda Carter, Bernie Kopell, and Frank Gorshin and "delightful 'excerpts' from a supposed B&W regional horror called 'Texas Vampire Massacre,'" before concluding that "High-def-shot pic looked very good projected in 35mm."  Critic Brian McKay offered 4 out of 5 stars<ref>{{cite web |author=Brian McKay |url=http://www.efilmcritic.com/movies.php?cat=SanFranHorror2004 |title=Bloodhead |date=March 22, 2004 |access-date=2019-07-10}}</ref> and opined that "BLOODHEAD stands firmly on its own as a worthwhile tribute to the B movies of yesteryear, and a simple but effective denouncement of the ignorance that breeds racism. And it's pretty damn funny, too."<ref>{{cite web |author=Brian McKay |url=http://www.efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=9020 |title=Bloodhead |date=March 22, 2004 |access-date=2019-07-10}}</ref>
