Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

Not a bad film was highly amused by the alternative title Doctor Death MD: Medical Deviant. Looked pretty deviant by any standard I know of and this particular plot element actually made the film more interesting, bringing in shades of Victor Frankenstein or Doctor Moreau. Not much use of the zombies until later, actually felt more like a cannibal type movie which may defy what you may expect from the title itself. Of the kills there is maybe only one which I remember in which the poor person ends up dead with his eyes torn out, can't quite shake that one, also I can still recall the final act with the mad doctor but that's about it. Might be worth a re-view but didn't strike me as being that strong.

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.

The eighties were the golden age of Italian zombie exploitation. This film - directed by genre regular Marino Girolami - is one of the most predictable in the entire sub-genre. The filmmaker's themselves intended the movie as a cash-in - following swiftly on the success of Lucio Fulci's "Zombi 2". Girolami, along with producer Fabrizio De Angelis, decided to combine the basic "Zombi 2" plot with the popular cannibal films of the time and thus "Zombi Holocaust" was born. Right down to the title, a twist on last year's "Cannibal Holocaust", the film was pure exploitation. The film begins grimly in New York (the same setting as "Zombi 2"), where a hospital worker - from the 'Asian Molucca' island - is seen devouring bodies in a morgue. Then an expedition is organized to the island to find out the truth behind the carnage taking place. When the American crew arrive, however, they discover that the island is inhabited by zombies and cannibals. What are the odds? There isn't much to recommend in this gory fright flick aside from the inventively bloody special effects (devised by zombie/cannibal maestro Gianneto Di Rossi), which, although reminiscent of George A. Romero's "Dawn Of The Dead", still retain their shock value. Overall, this film is only worth viewing if you are a die-hard zombie/cannibal fan.
