Thirsty Dead, The (1974, USA/FIL) C-88m. ** D: Terry Becker. Starring Jennifer Billingsley, Judith McConnell, John Considine, Tani Guthrie. Several young women are abducted by hooded men and brought to a secret society in the jungle, who created a kind of paradise for themselves. However, they need blood to rejuvenate themselves and throw those sucked dry into subterranean dungeons. Corny horror trash is not bad in the first half (also thanks to an eerie score by Richard LaSalle), but bogs down in the second. Alternative titles: THE BLOOD CULT OF SHANGRI-LA, BLOOD HUNT.
