Bloodlust! is a 1961 American horror thriller film written, directed and produced by Ralph Brooke and starring Wilton Graff, June Kenney, Joan Lora, Eugene Persson, and Robert Reed. It is based without attribution on Richard Connell's 1924 short story "The Most Dangerous Game." It was produced by Robert H. Bagley.
