Bloodlust ~ 1959 -BW

QUICKIE: Finally! Teenagers are hunted like the vermin they are! (Just kidding!)

PLOT: A group of teen-agers vacationing in the tropics take a boat out to a seemingly deserted island. They soon find, however, that the island is inhabited by a wealthy recluse and his staff. While their host is initially hospitable, he quickly reveals his true purpose: to hunt down and kill each of his visitors, as he has done with everyone unlucky enough to set foot on his island.

SUMMARY: This is a redo of The Most Dangerous Game, which was a much better movie than this. Robert Reed (Mike Brady from The Brady Bunch) is the main character, and I can't take me eyes off his naked colored skin tight t-shirt that shows off the tiniest waist I've ever seen on a guy. I swear I could count his ribs.

Anyway, we have your typical gang off innocent teenagers who get detained on an island by a demented hunter. This movie has more of the drive-in movie flavor with screaming girls, gore and violence than The Most Dangerous Game did. TMDG is a classier film with Fay Wray, tuxedos and ball gowns. There's no gore or violence like seeing leeches crawling over a guy as we have here. Suspension of reality is a must again, as SIX people don't have the brains to gang up against one guy in a house loaded with weapons hanging on every wall. (roll eyes). But, how else would we get a movie, right? A pretty decent film on it's own. Having seen TMDG first, I was a little let down, but it's still good enough to watch with friends.
