Bloodlust! 1961 ★★½
This early sixties feature follows two couples with a lot of fifties in them. Kind of like the Cunninghams but, instead of the Fonz, their captain is the rummy from the opening scene from A Clockwork Orange. They find a seemingly abandoned island
Gosh dear, isn't this lovely?
Oh darling, it's wonderful.
only to end up being chased by a Vincent Price facsimile who tries to kill them with a crossbow for a place in his own private collection. Don't you just hate it when that happens?
The villain looks cool, but take away mister Price's charm, cool and charisma, and any actor imitating him will soon become cartoony. Which kind of makes it funny in its own way. Just like the predictable ending for the infidelity subplot or the henchman almost killed half off screen.
For people in the mood for a bit of cheese.
Or for people with not enough for a feature length, but still looking for an hour's worth of fun.
