3. Lust-Mad Men And Lawless Women In A Vicious And Sensous Orgy Of Slaughter! - Five Bloody Graves
With their thrifty budgets, washed-up performers and overreliance on stock footage, Al Adamsons cheap and cheerful pictures perfectly sum up the trash that was playing rural Drive-Ins in the '60s and '70s. Five Bloody Graves is a thoroughly unremarkable film and, unusually for Adamson, its a western, but otherwise his trademarks are present and correct. Loaded with stock music youve heard in dozens of other features and with a cast comprised entirely of the filmmakers friends (leading man Robert Dix also wrote the script), this is for aficionados only.
