      "We Can Only Presume There's A Peculiar Twist In A Sick Mind!"...
      BLOOD THIRST takes place in Manila, Philippines, where a series of grisly murders wreak havoc. The female victims are found in a signature way that's usually reserved for certain livestock. An expert from NYC named Rourke (Robert Winston) is brought in to assist the Manila police.

      As Filipino films of this sort go, it's not bad. Of course, it's mostly about Rourke's investigation, and his digging ever deeper into what could be an occult conspiracy.

      There are some interesting characters, like night club owner Calderon (Vic Silayan), and the beautiful, beguiling dancer, Serena (Yvonne Nielson). The killer is also of interest, since it's not clear just how human he / it is!

      Almost derailed by a silly, romantic subplot, it still manages to be bizarre enough to satisfy...
