The Sky Is Falling (Bloodbath)
- The Sky Is Falling (Bloodbath)
"The Sky Is Falling", also known as "Bloodbath" and "Las Flores Del Vicio", is a 1979 film directed by Silvio Narizzano and written by Gonzalo Suarez. It starred Dennis Hopper, Carroll Baker, and Win Wells and can be characterized as an example of the frenetic roles played by Hopper in the 1970s.
Shot on location in Spain, the film is about a drug addicted poet named Chicken played by Hopper who lives in a small village with other expatriates. These include a washed up actress played by Carrol Baker, a retired British Air Corps captain with his alcoholic wife, and a jaded stereotypical homosexual man played by Win Wells. Chicken struggles with his addiction while having vivid hallucinations about his religious mother. The actress is always waiting for a call from Hollywood in order to stage a comeback. The expatriates, bored by their life in the village, encounter a group of young hippies who they feel a bond toward but throughout the film each of the expatriates end up dead in various ways. These deaths are juxtoposed with the life of the villagers in bizarre and surreal ways that develops a sense of menace in the film. It is implied that the deaths are caused by the band of hippies evoking a religious cult or the Manson family.
