Why Do You Think Stalingrad Name Was Changed Again in 1961
"As other men collect fame and riches, I collect trophies."
Alarm: Spoilers
With a concept borrowed from "The Most Dangerous Game", and the time to come dad of "The Brady Agglomeration", "Bloodlust" achieves fiddling in the way of intrigue or suspense, and if yous don't manage to break into a chuckle or two while watching it, y'all're taking the picture way too seriously.
Johnny Randall (Robert Reed) is the self appointed leader of two young couples who find themselves stranded on an island with a madman (Wilton Graff), who plans on adding them to his trophy case, or rather his trophy cave, subsequently giving them a chance to make a break for it from the isle's center, starting at the "Tree of Expiry". Dr. Balleau has wasted no time in making an example of his wife Sandra (Lilyan Chauvin) and her not then secret lover Dean (Walter Brooke), who now share a prominent place in his den of horrors. Reed'due south character is terrible at making wise choices, but information technology's his girlfriend Betty's (June Kenney) job to ask rhetorical questions and utter useless clichés. She'due south matched by friend Jean's (Joan Lorra) repeated reminders of how scared they all ought to exist, while her fellow Pete (Eugene Persson) tries to go along his libido in bank check.
The question whatever viewer will repeatedly ask themselves is why doesn't this foursome simply spring the sometime codger Balleau at just about any signal in the proceedings. They had him surrounded more than in one case, and could have knocked the bejeezus out of him at whatsoever time, but then I guess there wouldn't have been a story.
Listen, if you're looking for a movie of poor saps stranded on an isle with little hope of survival, get for the gusto and pick up 1959'due south "The Killer Shrews". It's got a lot more stuff to brand fun of, not the least of which are swarming canines with dreadlocks. With "Bloodlust" yous get none of the satisfaction, either from the story, or the championship. Oh, the possibilities!

not as terrible as its rep
Entertaining have on "The Most Unsafe Game" featuring "teens" (you lot know, the kind in their late-20s), violence and a bit of gore. Apparently information technology was a feature on MST3K...only the movie isn't as terrible as that would suggest. It does characteristic some obnoxiously 50s dialogue, characters, and acting, merely it also features some really fun stuff (like a teeny bopper girl that knows judo and flips a bad guy into a vat of acrid...and nosotros get to watch him decompose! how can you lot not love that?!). The dad from the Brady Bunch is in this, and is annoying equally ever, and the plot gets a fiddling also Scooby Doo in parts. Merely there are some fairly creepy scenes here. In fact, I enjoyed this much more than I probably should take. My rating: five/x

The Brady Bunch go hunting
Warning: Spoilers
- While on vacation, ii young couples make up one's mind to explore what they believe to be a deserted isle. They soon run into Dr. Albert Balleau (Wilton Graff) who offers them the hospitality of his domicile - the only one on the isle. Dr. Balleau'south house is decorated with the trophies from his various hunting expeditions. It seems he imports game to the island. Now, Dr. Balleau is looking for even more cunning and dangerous game to hunt on his island. The young couples learn that they are to provide him with the hunting thrills he seeks.
- Bloodlust! was a much better movie when information technology was known equally The Most Dangerous Game (1932). That movie is far superior to Bloodlust! in every way. Accept the casts as an example. The Most Unsafe Game featured Joel McCrea and the original scream queen, Fay Wray. The insane hunter was played to perfection by Leslie Banks. In contrast, Bloodlust! features Robert Reed in one of his early roles. If the large proper noun "star" of your film is the futurity dad from The Brady Bunch, then you actually don't accept much. The hunter is played by Graff every bit a Vincent Price wannabe. Information technology's really pathetic.
- Another comparison, Bloodlust! goes for the inexpensive thrills by showing diverse body parts being prepared to be mounted for his trophy room. There is zero that looks remotely real in this scene. The Most Dangerous Game leaves these images up to the viewers imagination. And (especially true with low budgets) the imagination is capable of creating far more than horrific images than tin can be created past using a inexpensive rubber pes.
- If y'all find the concept of a nut-task hunting people as sport highly-seasoned, watch The Nigh Unsafe Game. The Alpha DVD has a not bad image and can be had for about $five. The video appears to have been "taken" from the much more expensive Benchmark DVD.

Even a mediocre potboiler remake of "The Well-nigh Dangerous Game" can be OK
Warning: Spoilers
To be honest, I've seen many worse movies than "Bloodlust", and many of those worse movies were big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. So I don't want to heap also much scorn on this depression-budget remake of a far better film - information technology's a slice of movie factory hackwork that was churned out to meet the need for drive-in movie and second feature 'product'. Within the confines of its ambitions, budget, and bandage, information technology is an acceptable piece of production. And the central plot idea is stiff enough that even a watered downwardly version like this has a flake of dramatic tension and involvement.
Nevertheless, some problems need to exist addressed.
Number one, if Robert Reed wanted to be cast as the activeness hero lead, he needed to either lose xv pounds, do some sit-ups,or wear a looser fitting shirt. He was sucking in his gut so hard every instant he was on camera that I was afraid he was going to keel over from 'corset girdle' syndrome.
Number two, Reed's character makes so many bad decisions in the course of this picture show that it's really kind of funny. Seriously, EVERY SINGLE judgment phone call he makes - to country on the island, that the gunkhole they land with will be safe, that their best bet is to return to the mansion, etc., is wrong. How did his grapheme become to be Alpha Male of the group in the first place??
Number three, the hunter with the so-called 'Bloodlust' comes beyond as kind of a depression-energy version of Victor Buono. When you think of deadly sociopath snipers-turned-human-hunters, you don't automatically come up up with the image of Victor Buono, now, exercise you? I'll grant you that the actor does the mannerisms of a jaded epicurean quite well, but he (and the stage direction he is given) hardly has the presence or gravitas to dominate and intimidate 4 healthy young teenagers and 2 adults, etc. Which leads to:
Number 4: At several points, our 'deadly hunter' (who is old, pocket-size, pale, flabby, and obviously sedentary) is all alone with four salubrious, physically fit young adults (one of them a judo proficient) and is armed with nothing but a crossbow or a revolver. And at least in one case, they take the drop on him. Seriously, why don't they jump him? Someone might get wounded, but this is far better than his stated alternative (ie, he'll kill them and mount them in his museum). I guess that his deadly 'sniper'south centre' must accept them intimidated or something.
Anyhow, MST picked on the this pic, and had a lot of fun with it, simply that's what they do. They could have a field day with a big loud dumb movie like "Armegeddeon", and a slight trifle like "Bloodlust" has no chance against their wonderful malice. "Bloodlust" isn't nearly equally bad as most MST3K fare. On the other hand, y'all wouldn't waste your time with it if MST3K didn't cover it.
Go watch "Surviving the Game" with Rutger Hauer and Ice-T if you want to run across a GOOD 'Most Dangerous Game' rip-off. Watch this 1 for the cheese value, or for the MST savaging.

The near Irksome game!
"Bloodlust" is another shameless repeating of "The Most Dangerous Game" premise (a groundbreaking classic from 1932), but information technology's a really dire and uninteresting one. This is a very bad film, but not fifty-fifty in an amusing way. Colorless characters, slow and overlong speeches and no action at all. 2 young couples strand on an island owned by an elderly, supposedly eccentric man. He explains that the armed forces taught him to kill human beings and information technology quickly turned into an obsession. So, later he did his service, he bought himself an island where accomplices regularly provide him with new hunting-targets. The screenplay is incredibly stupid (for instance, the 4 just politely listen to how they'll get killed instead of try and overmastering him) and the remote-island location is totally neglected. You haven't seen wooden interim until y'all witness some of the performances here and I was really surprised that the film only lasted 68 minutes... It seemed to accept hours! There isn't much to say abut "Bloodlust!", except that you lot should never consider watching information technology. Not even when someone holds a loaded gun to your caput and threatens to impale you.

I like this film!
I first saw this on TV when I was a kid, and I call up it'south too good to be deserving of the MST3K handling. It might be a "The Most Dangerous Game" rip-off, but information technology was targeted towards teens in the bulldoze-in era, and I think it works.
Information technology's worth the watch just to see the pre-Brady Bunch Robert Reed and the suave Wilton Graff, whose coolly underplayed madman is chilling. I've recommended it to friends in the non-'bots version, and they all thought well of it.
Dandy ending, as well!

A Cutting-Rate Version of "Most Dangerous Game"
BLOODLUST! (1961) is yet some other retelling of "Nearly Dangerous Game" with a lackluster bandage and inferior production values. The mostly youthful actors and actresses are terrible and turn in cardboard performances. There is one exception, all the same, and that is Wilton Graff every bit Belleau, a latter-day Count Zaroff wielding a crossbow to dispatch his victims on the remote island. Graff gives a very fey functioning (imagine what Vincent Toll could have washed with this one!) as he stalks his prey and includes them in his tableaux of trophies and macabre death scenes. He chews scenery but at to the lowest degree attempts to raise the level of this hopeless mess which is why this endeavour isn't a complete waste. Beware the substandard print by Madacy Entertainment on a double-feature DVD which is accompanied by ATOM AGE VAMPIRE. Cast includes Robert Reed, June Kenney, Joan Lora, Eugene Persson, Walter Brooke and Lilyan Chauvin.

Ahh! Ahh! AHH? Ahh!
This is a forgettable movie -- even the MST3K version is tepid compared to other episodes of that great bear witness. But i scene stands out for me in this odd little film about an insane island-dwelling man who likes to chase people. A human being -- apparently part of his "stocked prey" program -- wanders up to our protagonists. He's dirty, clothes torn, bristles overgrown, obviously been there for awhile. He wants to say something to the gang -- he's downward on his knees, pleading with arms raised in supplication -- but all he says is "Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!" And y'all can tell this thespian was actually giving it his "Stanislavsky Method" all, and the director was probably yelling at him, "I want more torture in your 'Ahhs'!" In the end, he looks like a mute Al Jolson on skid row. It'due south worth watching the film for the giggle you'll get from this poor dope.

Bloodlust!: Underwhelming remake
Bloodlust! is a remake of the superior The Most Unsafe Game (1932), or should I say 1 of many many many remakes.
At time of writing it has a iii.2 on IMDB, insanely low so it's clearly an unappreciated remake. I can understand why, merely not why it's quite that low.
Telling a remixed version of the classic tale nosotros see a group of friends stuck on an island with a madman who hunts humans for sport.
Again this is a somewhat modified version of the tale and truth be told I don't like the changes that take been made. It's not bad by any means, it's just inferior, hammy and considering information technology's age looks really dated.
This was filmed in 1959, released in 1961 and however still in black and white whereas the previous remake Run for the Sun (1956) was in color.
For an enjoyable version of this archetype tale, stick with the 1932 original or for a modern adaptation spotter Mindhunters (2004).
The Practiced:
Some interesting elements
The Bad:
Looks desperately dated for its age
Frustratingly annoying stereotypical non-terminate screaming ladies
Sure elements are plain featherbrained

manhunt fun
Four young vacationers go off their boat to explore a mysterious isle. Their drunken captain gives them a fleeting warning earlier passing out. The island is occupied by the mad Dr. Albert Balleau, his wife Sandra, and his loyal henchmen. His other guest Dean Gerrard is having an matter with Sandra.
Brady Bunch fans volition recognize Robert Reed as one of the immature people. The acting is generally bland to desperately overwrought. The directing is much worst. The dialogue is a bit clunky. The staging is but bad. The weirdest scene has to exist Dr. Balleau telling the kids his program. Everybody is just continuing around discussing the Marquess of Queensberry rules. This movie has its characters standing around a lot of the fourth dimension. As for the manhunt, it has its fun and its thrills in a B-movie way. It'due south a B-movie to its core and that is a little campy fun.

A fun motion-picture show!!
I honey this movie...a teenage MOST Unsafe GAME! It is really a fun movie if you don't take it too seriously...a good combination of the 50s teen moving-picture show and horror film! And it is fun to encounter Robert Reed in an early on office, years before he played the dad in BRADY BUNCH! Reed, June Kenney, Gene Persson, and Joan Lora are all quite good as the all-American teens who stumble onto BLOODLUST island! The film was really made in the late 50s but not released to theaters until 1961. The budget is low, and there are some empty-headed lines (June: "Well, we made it this far", Joan: "Ya, only where is this far", June: "Well, I don't know, but information technology'southward closer to far away then dorsum in that room!" But, despite information technology's flaws, yous'll become a kick out it!

Information technology ain't actually that bad!
I'd file this nether "No classic, only lots of fun!". The cast is good: Information technology'southward interesting to encounter Robert Reed in his pre-Brady Bunch days. The late Wilton Graff (every bit the villain) is one of those faces many remember only can't name; he was usually seen equally concerned fathers or business execs who knew more than than they were telling. He gives a convincingly understated functioning in this film; 1 is constantly reminded of Vincent Price. Plotwise, in that location are some effective jolts forth the way (bodies floating in tanks, or posed in realistic attitudes in a "trophy room"). In that location's also a memorable scene where a immature lady karate-flips a would-be attacker into a vat of acid; we're offered screaming closeups of his skin peeling away. The lively finale involves quicksand, leeches and a body hung (still living) on a spiked frame. Like I said, no classic, simply if you enjoy the occasional anything-goes exploitation picture, you could do worse!

A fun low-budget 50'due south "The Most Dangerous Game" re-create
Warning: Spoilers
Johnny Randall (a solid Robert Reed; the father on "The Brady Agglomeration"), Betty Scott (tasty blonde June Kenney), Peter Garwood (the likable Gene Perrson), and Jeanne Perry (fetching brunette Joan Lora) are four teenagers who detect themselves trapped on a remote secluded and uncharted tropical island run by the evil Dr. Albert Balleau (essayed with deliciously slimy relish by Wilton Graff), a real sadist who gets his sick kicks out of ruthlessly hunting humans in the jungle with a crossbow. Written, directed and produced with a modicum of competence by Ralph Brooke, this moving picture gets off to a rather slow and talky start, merely eventually culminates in a tense, gripping and surprisingly tearing last third. Richard Cunha'southward rough, grainy, yet adequately polished cinematography and the booming'n'bombastic stock film library score are both up to speed. Veteran character extra Lilyan Chauvin (Mother Superior in the seasonal slasher classic "Silent Dark, Deadly Night") pops up equally Balleau's faithless wife Sandra. The scene where one of Belleau'south pernicious flunkies gets dunked into a vat of acid rates every bit a definite gruesome highlight. Granted, this scrappy little B-moving-picture show quickie sure ain't no cinematic gem, but it's all the same much better and more enjoyable than its undeservedly lousy reputation would suggest.

Mr. Brady hunted in the forest
A group of youngsters land on a beautiful, seemingly deserted island while taking a detour on their canoeing trip. After exploring the wooded island for a few hours they run into a seemingly sweet older man who convinces them to stay at his house since information technology is getting dark and at that place are a lot of scary animals roaming the woods at night. The group all agree but there's just something non right nigh this older man. It turns out he is a crazy millionaire who lets victims loose on the island while he hunts them downward and kills them to keep equally "trophies". Actually not a bad story (although not original) but the execution actually is a bit silly. The dialog really is bad especially at the first. Robert Reed plays one of the youngsters in an early function of his. It is somehow agreeable to hear his voice in one case you know him equally Mike Brady. Although nigh of the acting was plastic, I idea the part of the crazy millionaire played by Wilton Graff, was pretty decent in what is conspicuously a function best suited for Vincent Price. A few of the bit parts were well played likewise actually. This is a remake of "The near dangerous game" that falls short in many places but I actually didn't feel bored with this 68 minute movie.

Dull and listless--and the plot is a behemothic ripoff---merely at least you can see Mr. Brady in activeness!
This is a super-cheap moving picture--made with a shoestring upkeep as apace as possible. No where in the film practise you discover that it is a quality project--the acting stinks, the sets stink, the props stink and the script is a blatant ripoff of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME (from the story past Richard Connell). This earlier movie (1932) was thrilling and original. Withal, over the years the story has been done and redone so many times in movies and on television (such every bit on Get SMART!) that it'due south more a behemothic cliché than a movie plot any more than! Because of this, no one actually should go writing credits since they but changed the original story here and there only didn't credit Connell (the weasels). Now if the story had been a ripoff BUT it had any energy or originality injected into it, information technology might take been worth seeing. Still, those responsible for the film just didn't seem to care. Nigh the only "original" elements to the story were adding more characters and grossing up the original story. At present it really wasn't gross because they budget was so low and the production so lackadaisical--the dismembered body parts just looked cheesy. So, apart from the marvel cistron of seeing Robert Reed (the dad on THE BRADY BUNCH), there is nothing to distinguish this motion picture from all the other class-z drive-in movie films made during this era.

Pepsi Ain't Wine
Two teen couples get stranded on an island presided over by a guy with strange hunting habits.
Decent bulldoze-in version of the Most Unsafe Game (1932). Comparing the two, however, is like comparing Pepsi with blended whiskey. This flick was intended for the teen crowd, so judging it by elevated standards is unfair. Instead, it should exist compared with its drive-in peers. Later on all, who goes to see a film titled Bloodlust besides teens of the time. By those lesser standards, it's not bad. I like the nerdy couple (Lora and Persson), a twosome I can identify with. Set ornament also is pretty good at creating temper, while Graff makes an imperiously dislikable villain. What strikes me, however, is hunky Johnny's (Reed) skintight sweater. Usually in these epics, it's the daughter who flaunts her body in revealing ways. Not here, instead Betty (Kenny) stays demurely dressed the whole fourth dimension. Too bad. Anyway, fans expecting a laughably bad motion-picture show may be disappointed, considering, the results manage a fairly effective drive-in gore-fest.

The island of Mr Belleau.
The umpteenth version of "the most dangerous game" ,in which only Wilton Graf as the mad hunter ,plays his game well: his character is non too much cardboard : after all ,he was a sniper, a abrupt shooter,information technology's only natural he has developped a taste for killing his fellow men ,who are criminals,convicts ,provided past the sailor :blame it on the war .
But this time ,the preys are non convicts merely innocent young boys and girls :will they escape from the terrible fate which lays in store for them?
All the actors merely Graf play like zombies ,but the principal shows sadism and takes his greatest pleasure in watching his victims' final instants .Directing is flat and static and the jungle looks similar an exotic public garden .

Didn't deserve it
I've seen this movie in the MST3K version, and I accept to agree with those who've previously said that it didn't deserve to exist at that place. It was, as many have pointed out, a decent (although not a blockbuster, information technology didn't try for that) flick version of the short story "The Nearly Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. This one was fun, and while it was non always perfect, it did run across every bit a worthwhile picture.
This is non to say that Mike and the 'bots comments weren't deserved - the movie is not spectacular, and there are parts that deserve the snide comments. Only all in all, the movie itself did not deserve the MST treatment.

Where'south the Motivation?
This is a very odd, sort of ill moving picture. A grouping of teenagers ends upwardly on an isle, run be a psychopathic hunter who is bored with animals and hunts humans instead. Since "The Well-nigh Unsafe Game," this tired old plot has played out many times. Fifty-fifty the original "Star Trek" did an episode like this. That said, how do you brand information technology piece of work. First of all, we have all these goons running around the island, working for the boss. They probably would accept had numerous chances to crash-land the jerk off at some betoken. They are evidently violent men. Instead, they practise his bidding. Peradventure they aren't so smart. They giggle and drool almost of the time. Meanwhile, even after the plot is hatched by the big guy, the people to exist hunted are allowed to become together and figure out what they are going to do. There are also people being skinned in the basement and mounted in some kind of bays cave. There is a woman floating in big aquarium. What is the motivation for this guy. Fifty-fifty General Zaroff in the original had a lawmaking he lived by. He was willing to face the possibility that he would exist killed. In this one, one of the hunted is given a gun, but when he tries to use it, in that location is no firing pin. It stumbles on to its idiotic determination (all of a sudden one of the guys can't be stopped by bullets; where did that come from). It doesn't work nether any sort of scrutiny.

Tree of Expiry.
Warning: Spoilers
Taking a wait at a Mill Creek box prepare that a young man IMDber has very kindly sent me,I spotted a title that appeared to be inspired by The Most Unsafe Game",which led to me getting ready for the bloodlust to be unleashed.
The plot:
Travelling circular in the tropics,a group of teens spot a deserted isle.Stepping on the island,the teens find it to be filled with exotic wild life.Finding a foreign large pit on the island,the gang are of a sudden knocked out.Waking up the gang run across Dr. Albert Balleau,who is a reclusive millionaire.Giving them a warm welcome,Balleau presently reveals that along with being a millionaire,he is also a big game hunter.
View on the film:
Chewing the unabridged island, Wilton Graff gives a delicious performance as Balleau,with Graff curling his broad grin at every big game target,equally author/director Ralph Brooke bases Balleau in a chilling cavern mansion.Sending a bunch of teens to a unsafe game,the screenplay by Brooke has fun poking at teen moving picture traditions,from the sassy daughter to the glasses-wearing geek.Whilst the title offers some surprisingly blunt kills,Brooke sadly fails to requite any of the teens "their" moment,and also takes a restrained approach in building upwardly apprehension for the final game between Balleau,which leads to this bloodlust not existence as thirsty as it should have been.

Listen
If you take everything that MST3K riffs as being bad and so don't carp watching this. That should go without proverb.
I happen to non take everything MST3K believes gospel & although they have done hilarious work occasionally not every motion picture they have Riffed do I believe was 1 of the worst movies ever made
I do concur with other reviewers, in that "The Most Dangerous Game" is meliorate. Some people similar an updated newer version of a movie. I usually don't similar those but sometimes they tin exist just as entertaining or done well in their own correct to stand alone as at least an equal. Now in that location a agglomeration of depression ratings. I dont get those. Idk past no means would I give it a loftier rating. But absolutely don't think it deserves all these 1 & 2's. Please thats like saying it's 1 of the worst movies you have e'er seen. I recollect it's boilerplate for its time & genre. I wouldn't go searching for it merely if you come up beyond information technology & dont see anything else worth watching. Yous could exercise far worst. And if in the first 20 minutes you lot don't like what y'all are watching id turn it off. Cuz its pretty standard balance of way with what one should look about this kind of movie

Interesting, if not really good
The description on the DVD box made this look like a precursor of the SCREAM or Friday THE 13th movies (madman stalks teens) but if I hadn't read it get-go I wouldn't have guessed than anyone in the cast was supposed to be under thirty (including the head of the Brady Bunch). It didn't take long to figure out this was a MOST DANGEROUS GAME rip-off made on the ultra cheap. As such information technology seemed to me that the writing and photography were decent efforts but the direction wasn't up to realizing the potential of either. One or two touches (once again, in the writing) were clever and took me by surprise and the accent on the gruesome reminded me of an quondam black and white horror comic, but all in all the motion-picture show didn't add up to much. A respectable failure. Oh, and it has the worst cardboard cave set I've ever seen!!

Terrific Drive-In Fare
This film is an early 60s low budget teen exploitation film version of THE MOST Dangerous GAME. Wilton Graff gives his all-time Vincent Price faux in the lead as the sinister Dr. Balleau who plans on hunting our teen heroes lead by Johnny Randall(played by Robert Reed). This ane really goes for the shocks and has some rather startling sequences to make the audience of the era squeal in fright. Perfect fare for a Drive-In theater.

the "Brady Bunch" dad vs. a psycho killer
Robert Reed may non accept been totally proud of playing Mike Brady, merely he had to have held it in higher regard than "Bloodlust!". Information technology's your average story about horny young folks running from a psycho killer, in this case a spin on "The Most Dangerous Game". Reed plays the hero, and I kept expecting him to suddenly blurt out some moral lesson, as he oft did in his most famous office.
If you actually want to watch this moving picture and like it, and then you should watch the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episode where they bear witness information technology. Naturally, Mike, Servo and Crow have fun mocking it, peculiarly since Robert Reed sports a weird hairdo.

A drive-in retelling of The Most Dangerous Game.
Alert: Spoilers
While on vacation, two young couples, Johnny and Betty (Robert Reed and June Kenny) and Pete and Jeanne (Gene Persson and Joan Lora), happen upon the remote island retreat of wealthy, deranged large game hunter Dr. Albert Balleau (Wilton Graff), who, having acquired a bloodlust as a sniper during the state of war, continues to target humans as his prey.
There'due south no denying that Bloodlust! lacks originality, being a blatant retelling of the classic thriller The Most Dangerous Game (1932), but information technology isn't completely without merit: the young(ish) cast members are appealing, Graff makes for a great boo-hiss villain, and the whole thing benefits from a suitably sadistic vibe, with fifty-fifty a smattering of (blackness and white) gore thrown in for good mensurate, including the peel from a victim's head beingness stuffed, a severed foot, an arrow through the tum, a henchman dissolved in an acid bathroom, and a bloody demise for Balleau, impaled through the cervix and wrists in his own trophy room.
With all of that to recommend information technology, the current IMDb rating of iii.one seems a little unfair to me.
