It all ends rather abruptly, but that's just because we could live in this movie's world forever.

If you wanted a true crime-aesthetic take on that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood vibe, this is the one for you.

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.

Adamson's movies weren't the best -- many were barely even movies -- but it's clear from Blood and Flesh that he was loved.

Un interesante figura del cine que no conocía salvo alguna película suelta. Genial para conocer su vida y celebrar sus logros, aunque el tono cambie mucho hacia el final, dada la trágica forma que Adamson nos dejó.
