BLOODLUST (1961)

  Mr. Brady himself(Robert Reed) in his first credited role in a film portrays the heroic leader of 2 couples that end up on an island where the plot to one of the most remade movies ever, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, is being enacted. We also get a judo chick(June Kenney), a guy dissolved alive in a bathtub full of acid and a surprising amount of black and white blood for something from the early 60s. I tend to enjoy most all of the DANGEROUS GAME clones and this one is a decent time-waster.  

                     Played on a  double-bill with one of the world's dullest Satan movies!:

THE AMAZING MR. X (1948)

  I have this movie on a DVD set of horror films but I think it fits more into the thriller category. It's hard to talk about this without spoiling it because they set it up to possibly be a supernatural film but that may or may not be true throughout. The title character is played by Turhan Bey who I recall from THE MUMMY'S TOMB and despite there being no classic Universal monster in this movie(you do get a trained pet Crow though so that's something) it is certainly a better overall film than that one. AKA THE SPIRITUALIST 

CHINATOWN KID (1977)

  Alexander Fu Sheng, who would tragically end up dying in a car accident 6 years later at the age of 28, stars here in the tale of a poor Chinese immigrant who winds up in San Francisco's Chinatown having to deal with gangsters. It's a great vehicle for him and shows his transformation from naïve youngster to becoming part of a gang himself. It's hard not to imagine that in some alternate universe the fame that came Jackie Chan's way could have been Fu Sheng's if things had worked out differently. 

 There are at least 2 different cuts of this. A 90-minute cut with a less downbeat ending and what I find is the preferable  115-minute version with a lot more of a deadly conclusion and some additional scenes of Fu Sheng being a naughty gangster. There might also be some combination of these 2 out there.

ORGY OF THE LIVING DEAD (1973)

  Kind of a misleading title there. No "living dead" show up until close to the end and they certainly don't have an orgy! It's alternate title of THE HANGING WOMAN is more accurate as one of those does indeed show up at one point. Paul Naschy is often touted as the star of this but he's actually in a side role as Igor the gravedigger. There are some cool elements in this but they take too long to get to the FRANKENSTEIN-influenced ending. AKA BEYOND THE LIVING DEAD
