Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Scott LeBrun In Bumbasa, Africa, in 1910, a jungle tribe ritualistically murders a sexy young woman. In short order, they are all massacred by a bunch of dudes in pith helmets. Over 60 years later, a team of researchers come to the area to document endangered species. They soon discover that the voodoo legends of the area are not to be ignored."The Night of the Sorcerers" finds its writer / director, Amando de Ossorio, in good form, although it's not as thickly atmospheric and utterly gloomy as his "Blind Dead" series. It may strike some viewers as slow to start, but it really delivers the goods in its second half. Certainly it ticks off some of its exploitation requirements in able fashion: sex, nudity, gore. The ladies present - Kali Hansa, Maria Kosty, Loreta Tovar, and Barbara Rey - are all powerfully attractive. Simon Andreu is a hunky leading man, and the great Jack Taylor, a very familiar face to any lover of Spanish horror, is good as always. In general, the acting is acceptable.There's some good, fun stuff in this, although this reviewer will opt not to go into too much detail. Still, there are a couple of effective decapitations, and a fair amount of the red stuff flows before all is said and done. Although shot in Spain instead of Africa (with the expected use of stock footage), the locations make an okay substitute, and help give the film a pleasing look. It's gorgeously photographed by Francisco Sanchez and nicely scored by Fernando Garcia Morcillo.There's nothing truly great here, but it's still well worth ones' time.Seven out of 10.

This chiller in minimum budget packs thrills , chills , nudism , some good action , gore , horror and few funny moments .

This is pretty entertaining Zombie voodoo stuff . Atmospheric horror movie contains terrifying scenes when appears the tribe of voodoo-zombies and takes place the brutal killings . The tribe rises from the ground , take the women , whip them and slice their heads off on an altar in lousily made scenes , including primitive special effects . You will watch it and think it is either awful , hilarious, a masterpiece, or all three . It's a slight fun with passable make-up , naive special effects , acceptable set decoration and functional art direction . The fable is sometimes silly and laughable , though a few effects and action are professionally made . Some illogical parts in the argument are more than compensated for the excitement provided by the Leopard women running in slow-moving , though sometimes are a little bit cheesy . While not a hit during its original run, the film became successful when reissued nearly 30 years later .

He displayed a varied career and specialized on all kind of genres as Western in "Rebels in Canada" and "Grave of the Gunfighter" , Monster movie as ¨Serpent of sea¨ and , of course, Terror as ¨Malenka¨ , The possessed¨ and ¨night of witches¨ . Ossorio also studied painting and photography , moreover, he also made his living as a painter of creepy images of the Knights Templar in his later years.

The_Void Amando de Ossorio will always be best remembered for his Blind Dead series of films, and that's a very good thing as the films he made outside of that trilogy aren't nearly as good - this one is a prime example. The subject of voodoo is an interesting one, but it never seems to cross over very well to movies, as just about every film I've seen on this topic has been disappointing and unfortunately, this one is no different. It's a real shame too as a film with these elements really could have been a lot better, but Amando de Ossorio isn't able to create an interesting plot around the central idea and unfortunately it falls flat. The film starts with a sequence that sees a woman have her head cut off during a voodoo ceremony. From there we focus on a team of researchers who head out into Africa in an attempt to find out why elephants are disappearing from the area. They soon discover that the locals are afraid of a legend about some voodoo witches in the area, and naturally this turns out to be true and some of the researchers get killed...etc etc.I'm not sure if it was just a problem with the copy I saw (apparently, there's a remastered DVD out now), but this film is very dark and it's often difficult to make what - if anything - is going on. The cinematography is nothing special either and that's a shame because any film set in Africa has the potential for plenty of interesting shots but that isn't capitalised on. Amando de Ossorio does manage to pack some gore and nudity into the film, though it's scant consolation for the rest of the film. The sorcerers themselves also don't manage much in the way of intrigue as they don't appear all that often and when they do, not a lot happens. The plot surrounding the team of researchers is completely worthless and didn't generate anything that I cared for, which gives the film a rather flimsy backbone. Simón Andreu is the only name on the cast list that I recognised and he doesn't do enough to stand out. To the film's credit, the women featured are invariably very nice looking. Overall, this is not a great film and I can't recommend it; see Ossorio's Blind Dead series or The Loreley's Grasp instead!

slayrrr666 "Night of the Sorcerers" is a fun and enjoyable exploitation classic.**SPOILERS**Moving through Africa, Liz Meredith, (Maria Kosti) Rod Carter, (Simon Andreu) Tunika, (Kali Hansa) Carol, (Loreta Tovar) and Prof. Jonathan Grant, (Jack Taylor) stumble upon an abandoned campground in the middle of the jungle. Settling in the area, they come across local trapper Tomunga, (Jose Thelman) who explains that they're in the middle of a special place where natives would hold voodoo rituals to transform women into undead vampiric leopard women. As the women soon fall under the spell of the Leopard Woman, (Barbara Rey) and become ingrained into their society, leaving the others to wonder what has happened to them. Discovering the real intentions of the group, they race to stop them before all of the expedition members are seduced by the cult.The Good News: This here is a really impressive and interesting exploitation offering. The most notable thing that sticks out is the sleaze and nudity found in most exploitation fares. Witnessing an opening prologue where a woman is tied to a wooden archway, whipped with a bull-rope to the point that all the clothes fall off, where the male natives proceed to wrap a tarp over the body and lead to a sacrificial altar where a voodoo frenzy results in a really bloody demise is one of the greatest openings ever, getting the story laid out in a nice manner while also setting the story up. The altar itself looks really great, especially the beheading stone at the top with the clawed pit below forcing the trail of blood to flow downwards into it, making for some really fun sequences when the ceremonies are to be had. Those are full-on exploitation goodness, with the whippings, open blood flowing and the nudity coming into play and making them sleazy goodness. Mixed in along with this is all the surrealism scenes of the vampire women taking over their prey in slow-motion dressed up in leopard-skin bikinis, which is an impressive sight that is still somewhat sexy to an extent. Some of the violent kills that pop up allow for some nice gore, since this one knocks off plenty, and the free-flowing blood splatter is nice to see. The other part here is the highly impressive plot-line that this one has, which offers up plenty of good points. The inclusion of the vampire tale into the voodoo ceremonies is a new twist, and one that isn't all that expected. It's also nicely incorporated into the film, making it tie in nicely with the rest of the story without being used solely as a reason to get bare skin in the film, and to mix it in with the other twists and turns regarding the direction that it's played out in is a great point, giving it some new directions. Coupled together with a great sense of fun, this one here is a really pleasant addition.The Bad News: This here really only has one big flaw to it. That is the slow point before the middle of the film. It starts off nicely with the prologue, but then there's the just incessant wandering around the camp and setting it up, which just take forever to get through. The rest of the movie is so good that the one rough patch sticks out, and it's simply them standing around fixing up the camp and standing around deciding on what to do. That consists of just about everything that the scenes take in, and the repetitiveness of them all just gets a little too much at times. It makes that section feel way too slow and dull, not really containing anything that would stand out and might be somewhat of a red flag for viewers. Some might not like the inherent nudity and sleaze presented, but the main gripe will be the slow beginning.The Final Verdict: A really pleasing and fun exploitation classic that features enough good points to come recommended. This is easily essential viewing for those into the 70s exploitation scene or the European horror scene going on at the time, while those who aren't into the more outlandish aspects are advised to seek caution.Rated UN/R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, S&M leanings and a Rape
