This is a cheesy 80's film. In a badly dubbed NYC body parts are going missing and it appears to be the work of people from Kito, a South East Asian island. A small group goes to the island because....if makes a film. The island is filled with cannibals who prefer to eat raw innards or a nice stew. Oh yeah, there is a handful of zombies too. Yes they ransacked Laurie's apartment to steal a knife she had hanging on the wall. Bad rubber parts.Of course when a pretty blonde is capture by a group of "savages" they must be stripped naked like Bo Derek or Ursala Andress. Don't blame me, I don't make the rules. Alexandra Delli Colli is a natural blonde.

A classic zombie splatter fun spiced up with cannibals, boobs and a mad scientists work, Marino Girolami's "Zombi Holocaust" of 1980 is a true B-movie, pure exploitation, blood, and gore, everything the lover of bad taste craves for. On top you get these 70/80s synthie musicscore. To all the critics, everyone who watches a movie called Zombi Holocaust from the 80s and expects a fine and elaborated story-line, big production and great movie art is a lost cause himself ;)

This was sooooo bad. I thought it would be a bit of a campy horror flick with great (for the time) practical effects, but I was disappointed on almost all fronts. It started off promising, in a student hospital with plenty opportunity for interesting characters and exciting re-purposing of settings, but got super bland and boring almost immediately. So bad that I think I actually fell asleep sometime between some guy jumping out a window and a bunch of randos calling for help on a cannibal island. The effects were over the top, but far from being good enough to make me think watching the film was worth it. The lead actress is beautiful though, so at least one part they got right. But aside from that I really feel like I wasted my time watching this movie.

What to do when your competitors are pocketing millions of lira making cannibal and zombie movies - naturally, you make an amalgam of both concepts. Disjointed attempt at fusing two cinematic themes that were at the height of their popularity at the time. Here McCulloch as a detective, fresh from escaping Fulci's "Zombie Flesh Eaters" teams up with the statuesque and immensely striking Delli Colli as an anthropologist desperate to discover why expired patients at the local morgue are being dismembered and partially consumed. Inexplicably, their investigation takes them to a remote island on which a homicidal maniac (O'Brien) is experimenting on live native specimens, with disastrous results.Gory in the extreme, but lacking the narrative continuity of its peers, "Dr Butcher" relies solely on shocks without making an effort to develop a cohesive plot line. McCulloch's character is essentially no different from "Flesh Eaters", while O'Brien often looks disconnected from the project, in stand and deliver mode, affecting his inane dialogue on cue with little emotion or interaction. Delli Colli is an impressive-looking woman (particularly sans safari suit), and director Girolami's devotion to showcasing her "attributes" is generous to say the least. Buchanan is perhaps the only other recognisable face, but her character is shallow and expendable - like most of her other filmography.There's limb severing, entrails devouring, lobotomising galore, not to mention an eye gouging scene that might promote dry reaching. Ever wondered what someone's face would look like if you force-fed it a propeller? Enquire within. You won't be left wondering why the film was deported by censors in most countries on its initial distribution, and the make-up effects it must be said, are quite disturbingly realistic at times (no surprises that Gianetto De Rossi was involved). If you salivate at the prospect of cannibals vs zombies, then this will be your cornucopia; others should heed the viewing recommendations accordingly.
