Adam Rourke is called in by a friend from Manilla to investigate a bizarre string of deaths, women seemingly killed by a vampire like creature.
I can understand many of the criticisms of Blood Thirst, but on the whole, I quite enjoyed it. First off, 1971, that surprised me, it looked as though it was made in about 1956, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's very atmospheric, it's like a B horror noir, and for me that's quite appealing.
Although it's visually quite dated, it's quite nicely shot, I enjoyed several of the sequences, Serena's dance perhaps being the main highlight, it looked so good. Some of the fight sequences though, are best forgotten.
The monster definitely benefited from the black and white filming, I thought it looked pretty good.
Adam Rourke, he's an interesting lead, he's quite a handsome chap, he's quite amiable, but he's about as subtle as a Christmas Tree in July, some of his dialogue will have you hiding under your duvet.
I liked Robert Winston here, Vic Diaz, Yvonne Nielson, Katherine Henryk were all very good also.
It's far from brilliant, but very watchable.
6/10.
