Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Woodyanders An expedition led by intrepid anthropologist Dr. Peter Chandler (an extremely sour portrayal by Ian McCulloch) to the remote tropical island of Moluccas not only runs afoul of a savage tribe of primitive cannibals, but also encounter lethal zombies created by nefarious mad scientist Dr. Obrero (nicely played with lip-smacking wicked relish by Donald O'Brien).Both Marino Girolami's crass direction and Romano Scandariato's mindless script shamelessly pander to the lowest common denominator in the most enjoyably exploitative manner imaginable (I especially loved the cowardly comic relief porters who are destined to meet nasty untimely ends at the hands of the cannibals). While slinky blonde distaff lead Alexandra Delli Colli's hopelessly acting leaves plenty to be desired, she nonetheless compensates for her woeful thespic abilities by showing off her fine sender figure with pleasing regularity. Fetching brunette Sherry Buchanan brings a winningly perky charm to her role as pesky reporter Susan Kelly. The cruddy dubbing, plodding pace, priceless tin-eared dialogue ("I could easily kill you now, but I'm determined to have your brain!"), and meandering nonsensical narrative all give this fabulously fetid flick a certain endearingly ramshackle charm. The make-up f/x are rather crude, but still deliver the gory goods by the tasty truckload (said gore includes throat slashings, dismemberment, graphic gut munching, and grisly brain transplant surgery). Nico Fidenco's funky-throbbing score hits the right-on groovy pulsating spot. A gloriously scuzzy grindhouse hoot and a half.
atinder I saw this earlier in the week, I never really heard of the movie Before the pass weekend So I gave it Watch and I did not expect much of here I thought Was cash in on zombie series I liked the fact the movie disn't take long to get going And movie was really fast pace as you never get bored I was really surprised how gory this movie was , which I did not Expect at all , loved those scenes The were a few things that bugged me, it was that some scence it felt like they took forever to react to the situation, I just found really annoying.So annoying that I actually shouted at them to hurry the beep up I thought acting was really good for the movir 7 out of 10
kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** It's when a number of patients, dead as well as alive, are mutilated and eaten by an orderly named Toran at a New York City hospital, who when caught ended up doing himself in, that it's suspected by staff member Dr. Lori Ridgeway, who and expert on cannibalism, that the person who's been doing these things is a die in the wool cannibal who's arrived on a students visa from the far off Caribbean island of Maluku! In trying to check thing out any more cannibals from entering the states an fact finding expedition to Maluku is organized with Lori in charge to find out if in fact a undiscovered race of cannibals still live in the island. Their soon confronted by Dr.Butcher and his trusted aid Molotto who are more then willing to help with Lori not realizing that the two are really really bad news. Dr. Butcher has been experimenting with the people on the island for years and turning them into walking dead Zombies in an insane effort to increase the lifespan of the human race.Dr. Butcher in trying to steer Lori and her party away from the island of Maluku , and keep the secret of his experiments hidden, has the opposite effect when they, by getting lost at sea, end up being there anyway! It's then when the cannibals come out in the open looking for human flesh and end up killing and eating almost all the members of Lori's expedition except for Lori and her boyfriend Dr. Peter Chandler. It's when a bunch of Zombies, looking like they were just dug up out of their graves, pop up and scare the cannibals away it becomes apparent that Dr. Butcher and Molloto have been secretly been creating them and even worse are planning to turn both Peter & Lori into Zombies themselves!****SPOILERS**** Blood splattering Zombie/Cannibal film that one has to have a strong stomach to be able to watch and sit through without a barf-bag available at hand. Ironically it's the cannibals who turn out to be the good guys by putting and end to Dr. Butcher and his aid Molotto's evil experiments. As if all the people that the cannibals killed and ate, on the island of Maluku as well as in NYC, was nothing more of a crime then picking their noses in public! It's just when Dr. Butcher was about to pick Peter's brain in came or crashed a bunch of hungry cannibals lead by non other then Lori, who convinced them she was on their side, putting an end to him Molotto, who was already did in by Peter, and his crazy experiments in what turned out to be a fiery holocaust: With only the Zombies being the ones holocaust-ed!
Glen McCulla Shambling hot on the decaying heels of Lucio Fulci's seminal "Zombie Flesh Eaters" came "Zombie Holocaust", featuring the same lead actor, the same filming locations, and same of the same behind the scenes crew.Known in its US release as "Dr. Butcher, Medical Deviate", this is a film that truly throws everything at the wall and sees what sticks. After an opening sequence featuring some nicely gruesome corpse eviscerations in a New York hospital, Ian McCulloch of "Flesh Eaters" and TV's "Survivors" fame teams up with lovely looking, wooden acting and seemingly clothes allergic doctor Alexandra Delli Colli (of Signor Fulci's "The New York Ripper") to investigate. After a bizarre scene in which a cannibalistic hospital employee is caught quite literally "red handed" eating a patient's guts - whereupon he flings himself out of the window and plummets to his doom - Ian and Alexandra decide to take their investigation to the "Molacca" islands in Indonesia, home of a cannibalistic cult.Upon arrival, we are plunged into all kinds of fun and frolics involving a mad doctor experimenting on the local cannibals to create a zombie slave race that numbers about four. Much enjoyment ensues from various disembowellings, eye gougings and general dismemberment. Our rugged hero Ian mashes a zombie's face using the outboard motor from a boat, the lovely Ms. Della Colli disrobes to show off her impressive body at regular intervals, and many racial stereotype native guides get gotten by the cannibals and zombies. One of said guides even seems to yell "Macarena, he went to de boat, he deed not come back" at one point. I watched that bit about five times til i almost blacked out from laughing.I am still baffled by the ending, however: Lori (Della Colli) is captured by the cannibals, who strip her (wahey!), paint her with flowery tattoos, and prepare to sacrifice her on an altar. Then, for no apparent reason at all, the cannibal chief changes his mind, does a little dance, and the next thing we know the cannibals accompany Lori and help her save Ian and battle the zombies. Why?!? It seems like there's whole scenes missing here, but i'm certain my copy is uncut. Maybe the cannibal chief was just a nice guy, and was just mucking around with all that sacrifice stuff. Answers on a postcard, please.
