Bloodlust! (1961)

Based loosely on the Richard Connell short story The Most Dangerous Game, Bloodlust! is one of those 'trapped on an island with a guy who hunts humans for sport' movies, and there are several. Robert Reed, the dad from the Brady Bunch, is one of the young huntiess, Wilton Graff is the hunter, and its the kind of part and performance that one most readily associates with Vincent Price. One of those movies where the characters routinely make dumb decisions, Watchable enough in the first half and then it gets pretty boring. June Kenney's skill at the judo flip, set up in an early scene, is paid off towards the end in a rare instance of competent writing. *
