Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

dwpollar 1st watched 7/11/2014 – 3 out of 10(Dir-Ralph Brooke): Unimpressive horror movie about another mad doctor on a mostly un-inhabited island who makes a game out of chasing down and hunting all different kids of mammals and animals. This isn't the worst early 60's cheaply made horror film(this isn't saying much), but it could have been much better. The father from "Brady Bunch" – a young Robert Reed – plays one of the young adults who are taking a fun boat ride when they encounter an unknown island, and direct the drunk captain to put them ashore so they can see what's there(they are thinking treasure??). Instead they find there are folk that have put up camp there already and want them to stay the night. Wilton Graff plays the host and he seems kind, but it's obvious things are not kosher pretty early on. He introduces himself as a hunter, but we find out later that it's not just animals that he keeps as trophies. This very short movie(68 minutes) – does a good job of keeping the pace going and is interesting as a story, but there are too many un-intentionally comical scenes where the viewer just shakes his head about the responses of the characters to the situation. There are a lot of scenes put there so we can here the women scream from fright(woo hoo!!). The igor-type helpers of the doctor are another area that is unclear(how did they get there?? why do they follow his every command??). Some of the parts of the movie and the theme is pretty shocking for the early 60's and in some ways ahead of it's time in this area, but overall this is just a mediocre movie that is not a bad viewing, but there is nothing to make it that worthwhile.

Chase_Witherspoon I have to say firstly that I enjoyed this economical, drive-in version of "The Most Dangerous Game", with future Mike Brady (Reed) starring as one of four youths who become stranded on an island with wealthy madman (Graff) whose favourite sport is hunting humans on his otherwise uninhabited and unforgiving jungle island.Gene Persson, June Kenney and Joan Lora co-star as Reed's concerned companions, while Walter Brooke has a minor supporting role as one of Graff's unfortunate specimens, kept in toe for his chess playing abilities until he's caught philandering with Graff's attractive and neglected wife (Chauvin). Reed isn't bad, although his tonal inflexions are 'father knows best' like even eight years early of "The Brady Bunch". While not such a good actress, I was quite captivated by Joan Lora whose character had little depth, but plenty of appeal.Sometimes amateurish and puerile, at other times quite macabre with some relatively graphic horror for its vintage (check out the acid tank scenes), "Bloodlust" is taut and compelling and surprisingly entertaining in spite of its lack of sophistication and originality. At barely 70 minutes, it's also quite compact, efficient viewing.

dbborroughs Yet another remake of Most Dangerous game, this time a bunch of young adults coming upon an island where the mad man who lives there decides to hunt them. More a typical teen drive in film (the two couples who are the main focus are always together and the whole thing seems oddly set bound) then a real gripping remake of a classic story. The film does have some great pieces, the trophy hall is cool, and some of the rantings of the mad man are good, but the film as a whole never fully comes together, certainly the hunt never really amounts to much. As a stand alone film, its watchable but never much more than okay. As part of a double feature of drive in style films this will play better

Michael_Elliott Bloodlust! (1961) * 1/2 (out of 4) Yet another take off on The Most Dangerous Game but here's a case where you should stick with the original. Four friends go to what they think is a deserted island to have some fun but they are taken hostage by a deranged hunter (Wilton Graff) who plans on stalking them as prey. It's strange but I find the source material to be one of the greatest stories out there and I think it would be very hard to not be able to make a good film out of it. However, that's exactly what's done here as the screenwriter obviously sucked every bit of life out of the story and left us with a dull mess of a film. The most interesting aspect of the story is the hunt between the two sides but that's not the case here as the hunt doesn't happen until the film is pretty much over and even then that so called hunt doesn't go anywhere. It also doesn't help matters that one never fears for any of the main characters as they aren't ever put into any real danger. Graff doesn't make for the best bad guy but while watching the film I couldn't help but wonder what Vincent Price would have been like in the role. Robert Reed from The Brady Bunch plays the main guy and is okay in the film but the rest of the teens are just boring.
