Katie Rife AV Club It all ends rather abruptly, but that's just because we could live in this movie's world forever. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene If you wanted a true crime-aesthetic take on that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood vibe, this is the one for you. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A wonderful documentary chronicling the accidental career of Al Adamson... Jun 21, 2020 Full Review Kiko Vega Espinof Another great job and another 'Lost Soul' for David Gregory. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Chris Alexander Alexander On Film 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. Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Oscar Goff Boston Hassle Adamson's movies weren't the best -- many were barely even movies -- but it's clear from Blood and Flesh that he was loved.

brad p ‘Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson' Shines Light on an Overlooked Legend Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
