Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

BA_Harrison A scientific expedition to an island used in nuclear testing results in the discovery of a mutated being with a huge appetite for killing and sex.With packaging promising a 'horny, mutant, cannibalistic zombie' on 'an island exposed to nuclear fallout', the wonderfully titled Porno Holocaust, directed by king of Italian sleaze Joe D'Amato, should be an unmissable exploitation classic; however, with its run-time of nearly two hours, and nary a plot to string the endless scenes of bumping and grinding together, the film couldn't help but be rather tedious and something of a disappointment.As a porn film, I guess the movie does its job well. The sex is hard and frequent and the cast give it their all, performing the standard roster of XXX movie sex acts with sufficient enthusiasm. The three female adventurers (Lucia Ramirez, Dirce Funari and Annj Goren) are hot and willing, whilst heroic Captain O'Day (Mark Shannon) is THE atypical 70s porn star: all 'tache and mirrored sunglasses (and looking more than a bit like Magnum P.I.).Unfortunately, those looking for a bit of horror to go with the humping would be recommended to try elsewhere. Except for a couple of brief, and not overly gory, death scenes, the film is pretty much blood free.Had D'Amato split the action 50/50 between the nookie and the nastiness, I reckon Porno Holocaust would have been an unmissable treat for fans of extreme cinema; as it stands, the film is nothing more than an average hardcore sex-flick that will find few fans outside of the dirty mac brigade.

MisterWhiplash Joe D'Amato might have made some other notable movies in his very long and very prolific career- prolific, of course, by turns of making VERY cheap Z-grade movies in Italy's big exploitation boom of the late 70s early 70s- but Porno Holocaust isn't one of them, or at least shouldn't be. Granted, I should not expect much from a movie with such a title, but I thought considering the back of the box's description that it might have some fun horror scenes with the "horny, mutant, cannibal zombie". Turns out the zombie doesn't appear until more than halfway into the movie, and at every turn we get instead a tawdry sex scene as hardcore as one can imagine. Which is fine. But it's not very enjoyable, except in the most "what the f*** is this BS" kind of way. There's laughable dialog involving lobsters costing more from mail-order Japan than in Paris, hot, slim women play biologists and zoologists who have particular sexual hang-ups (letting the door be unlocked to be raped, and a bi-polar kind of enjoyment out of getting gang-banged).It all leads up to the island, where the "main attraction" is a guy who early on just spends an absolutely pathetic (forget ludicrous) amount of time just staring at the newcomers to the radioactive wasteland of the shot-on-Caribbean island, and once revealed has a face like one of the guards in Jabba's palace and has a sweet potato for a main genital. But much dumber than anything before it is the "relationship" that develops between the monster and a dark-skinned lady who has an inordinate amount of time to escape, but just sits there, blank-faced, as the monster brings gifts and for what must be a racially-motivated exploitation move on the part of the filmmakers the monster ONLY rapes and kills the white women, and not her. And it ends, of course, with a "happy" ending. I use quotes, of course, out of a kind of shock that this could have any kind of legitimate ending at all.Bottom line, this is NOT what you might expect, as possibly being a bloody horror movie with plenty of tacky but cool looking Italian monster-zombies devouring human flesh. If anything what violence is in the film is done on a shoe-string; a log hit to the face is immediately cut to the bloody aftermath, which is like the aftermath of a tomato hitting someone. So really, the last part of the title is meant more for market sake. Yet even as a porno movie it has little to go on except as a reason for the cast and crew to get a paid vacation to the Caribbean (as an interview with George Eastman suggests, this was just one of a few quickies made while on the island). Its got penny-bought schlocky camera-work and similar actors, filled with genitalia about 3/4 of the whole time and with wretched lip-syncing and music like Nino Rota forced at gun-point to make something snappy in a bordello, and it's STILL a piece of celluloid dung all the same; all of this could be an immense guilty pleasure, but it isn't.

Michael_Elliott Porno Holocaust (1980) 1/2 (out of 4) Joe D'Amato's notorious porn/gore flick about a zombie with a very large "member" who chokes women to death with it. Um....yeah. I watched this film once a few years ago and hated it but I watched it in Italian without any subs so I gave it another try with subs but they didn't help. Needless to say this is a very disgusting film that really doesn't have anything going for it. The idea is an interesting one but the 110 minute running time really kills this. D'Amato could be a great director but this here wasn't one of his high points. The follow up Erotic Nights of the Living Dead is better.

The_Void Well, since it's called Porno Holocaust and directed by Joe D'Amato, I went into this film expecting sleaze...and while I somewhat got it, Porno Holocaust was a massive disappointment as it's just so damned BORING. The title suggests that the film will feature porn, and that's not wrong - Porno Holocaust is pretty much just porn, and most of it is just the same stuff over and over again, I was fast forwarding before the end. The first sex scene is between two women and it got my hopes up, but after that it just degenerates into normal porn, and the rest of the film (for the first hour!) is made up of talking, and you can imagine how much fun that is to sit through! The plot focuses on a deserted island where, believe it or not, something strange is going on. Naturally, it's not long before a group of people - made up of a few men and some scientists, who all happen to be sexy women, land on the island. They have sex a few times and some strange things happen, then over an hour later they're attacked by a mutant zombie creature with an eye for the ladies...This must have seemed like a good idea for an original porno - a zombie who likes to get it on, but unsurprisingly it doesn't work well at all. The film clocks in at just ten minutes short of the two hour mark, and that is far too long for a film like this. I have no idea why Porno Holocaust is as long as it is; if they'd just snipped one minute out of every sex scene, the film would have been under ninety minutes, and that would have made it much more tolerable! The zombie takes what seems like an eternity to appear (it's quite a long time before there's a sex break long enough for them to actually travel to the island in the first place), and when it does finally appear, it's a huge disappointment! I realise that this is low budget B-movie trash, but D'Amato surely could have tried a bit harder and come up with something better than this! I'm not even going to bother mentioning the acting, atmosphere etc, there's no point. Porno Holocaust is basically just your average dull porn flick with a slight sprinkling of horror, and I can't recommend it!
