This is a biographical documentary loaded with tons of information about one of the many bizarre filmmakers of trashy American B-grade movies, whose dramatic demise seems to correspond to the content of the horror films he made. Al Adamson, the creator of more than 35 B-movies, was found buried under the floor of his house. This documentary gives us a wide-ranging account of who Adamson was, goes through his movie career, and tries to explain why he was so passionate about making B-movies. It also shows why a lot of people in the industry are still grateful to him, and that he was probably an incredibly nice guy, whose work falls into the category of "so bad it is good." Blood & Flesh is a very well-made documentary that will not only overwhelm you with interesting information from movie history, but also, thanks to the way it is composed, can provoke a whole range of emotions.
