Confessions of an Opium Eater (1962)

Description

Vincent Price faces the death of 1,000 cuts in this delirious pulp adventure directed bt "Touch of Evil" producer Albert Zugsmith. Returning to San Francisco after a long stay in the Orient, two-fisted mercenary Gilbert DeQuincy (Price) finds himself caught in the midst of a Tong war. Descending deep below the surface of Chinatown, he plays one side against the other in a daring attempt to break up a human trafficking ring, where slave girls are auctioned for opium. A surreal, rip-roaring yarn packed with evil drug lords, secret passagways, illicit opium dens and more, "Confessions of an Opium Eater" is a "claustrophobic fever dream... one of the most bizarre, beautiful and poetic Z-films ever made."
