When their mother passes away, orphaned sisters Penelope (Nanci Sheldon) and Patricia (Cristy Beal) are sent away to live with their aunt (Drusilla Hoy) and her deeply dysfunctional family in a small southern town. The household is an immediate pressure cooker of taboos: the uncle (Paul Fischer) harbors aggressive desires, and Penelope wastes no time returning by seducing him. At the same time, the dimwitted male cousin Aubrey (John Talt) and lesbian cousin Edwina (Julie Conners) set their sights on Patricia, turning domestic life into a dizzying hothouse of jealousy and transgression.
Then, bikers roll into town and chain whip a priest’s face before fighting everything and every single person. And there’s a twist ending, too!
Sinners Blood was originally given a theatrical release by the short-lived distribution outfit Hollywood Star Pictures, which also put out Red Zone Cuba, The Thrill Killers and Scream Free. Like many wild exploitation titles of its era, Sinners Blood underwent a bizarre metamorphosis four years later. To squeeze extra life out of the property, the film was re-edited, trimmed and injected with hardcore inserts—pulled largely from the Rene Bond adult feature Kim Comes Home—resulting in an even more surreal patchwork cut released under the title Hard Riders.
