Watch Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson online free on WeStream

BLOOD & FLESH is a lot more than just the story of an unusual life in the movie business. It comes to life through archival materials and the thoughts of more than 40 colleagues, friends, and fans. It does a great job of showing the worlds of the outsider filmmaker communities that existed in California in the 1970s, as well as the strange ways they interacted with Hollywood and union indies. Bud Cardos worked with the regular Orson Welles crew and cinematographers like Gary Graver, Vilmos Szigmond, and Lazlo Kovaks on Adamson shoots. At one point, Charles Manson also helped out. David Gregory, the founder of Severin Films and the director of LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY'S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, spent years making this film. He talked to everyone, including the police officers who looked into Adamson's murder, to create a vivid portrait of both a daring life and a tragic death, with alien conspiracies, go-go dancers, and Colonel Sanders thrown in along the way. If you're even a little interested in movies, you need to see this.
