What Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson Is About
David Gregory's 2019 documentary is about Al Adamson, who made low-budget genre films in the sixties and seventies. Adamson made more than thirty; none were taken seriously, all of them made money, and he built a production system around himself. The first half is a portrait of that circle. In California, directors, performers and technicians working outside the studios shot films in rotation with the same equipment; the narrative shows that economy in detail. The second half is given to Adamson's death in 1995. After he disappeared his body was found in his own house, and the case was widely covered in the press of the time. Gregory does not tell it like a genre film; he gives the details of the investigation plainly. Who it's for: those interested in the history of exploitation cinema and independent production conditions. Who it's not for: viewers uncomfortable with the details of a killing; the documentary recounts them openly in its final section.
