Two couples are on a boating trip when they come across an uncharted island. The four investigate and find themselves in the clutches of Dr. Albert Balleau, whose hobby is hunting both animals and humans… The group tries to escape only to be thwarted by Dr. Balleau and his henchmen.

Quote:
Early 60’s drive-in potboiler is a take-off of the classic Most Dangerous Game with two twenty-something couples (which includes Robert Reed who’d go on to play the father in the cult TV series, The Brady Bunch) heading-off to a remote island only to be taken in by an eccentric millionaire (Wilton Graff, who’s no Vincent Price despite the smoking jacket and omnious line delivery) who decides to hunt them in the nearby jungles using a crossbow so he can display them in his underground “trophy room” (where it’s discovered he keeps his human prey on display in glass cases).

With Bloodlust!, we’re looking at a turn-of-the-60’s (shot in 1959, but not released until ‘61) drive-in take on the story, complete with 30-year-old “teenage” protagonists and as much graphic violence as it was possible to get away with in those days. Bloodlust! is still a surprisingly good film.Wilton Graff does a respectable job as the villain, and in particular makes the most of the speech in which he tells how a stint as a sniper during World War II left him addicted to the thrill of hunting humans. Robert Reed makes for a rather dull hero, but he is counterbalanced to some extent by June Kenney’s Betty, who is atypically strong and resourceful for a B-movie heroine of this vintage.
