Rating: 9/10 -- For every laugh that a creaky old clip generates, there's a heart-warming anecdote from one of the talking heads - even if some of those participating are brutally honest in their opinions Full Review

...ends up being an elegy not just for the man, but for the brand of bargain-basement cinema that he once made and somehow managed to sell. Full Review

An intimate, riotous, affectionate and ultimately profoundly sad essay that is an essential watch not just for horror history fans, but for anyone remotely interested in the waning days of the anti-establishment, Hollywood fringe maverick. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

"Horror Film Director Found Slain, Buried Under Floor", screamed the 1995 headlines read around the world. But the truth behind the wild life of Al Adamson - including the production of such low budget classics as SATAN'S SADISTS, DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN and THE NAUGHTY STEWARDESSES - and his grisly death reveals perhaps the most bizarre career in Hollywood history. Told through over 40 first-person recollections from friends, family, colleagues and historians - plus rare clips and archival interviews with Adamson himself - BLOOD & FLESH is the award-winning chronicle of bikers, go-go dancers, porn stars, aging actors, freak-out girls, Charles Manson, Colonel Sanders, alien conspiracies and homicidal contractors that House Of Mortal Cinema calls "Brilliant stuff… a superb documentary and one of the top films of the year."
