Pirates of Blood River is a 1962 Hammer Film Productions pirate film starring Christopher Lee and Kerwin Matthews.

While in a penal colony Huguenot Jonathan Standish (Kerwin Matthews) is captured by pirates led by Capt. LaRoche (Christopher Lee) who force him to lead them back to his home village to retrieve a treasure supposedly hidden there.

This landlocked pirate movie features a great cast ( Michael Ripper, Andrew Keir, Oliver Reed, Peter Arne, and inexplicably Glenn Corbett). The female lead is Marla Landi. The pirates seem vaguely French by a few of their names ( LaRoche, Brocaire) but some are called Mack and Hench.The villagers appear to be a mix of Americans and Britons. The film is a good low-budget swashbuckler.
