Mad doctor of blood island uncut7/14/2023 ![]() As another reviewer suggested, "Let the bizarre ennui envelop you." This movie is definitely not everyone's cup of tea (what movie is?), but if you like good cheap movies, I feel it is worth a look. VERY SELDOM do horror films approach such thinky territory! And it's all done with a straight face. They wander the island depressed, questioning their lives. Characters intellectualize and debate in a civilized way rather than having screaming arguments. Lorca? "Mad Doctor of Blood Island" was made with total seriousness, something very rare in low budget exploitation. Can he destroy the dangerous experiments of Dr. It's up to civil servant John Ashley to try to save the local population from this danger. The worst of these experiments has transformed into a horrible, murderous monster barely recognizable as human. Lorca has been using chlorophyll to turn some of his patients into green-blooded mutations. Deep within the jungles of Blood Island-in the interest of science-twisted Dr. If you like trash cinema, this is one of the very best, and it was made for almost nothing, but features some very serviceable performances and a nice script-in addition to the graphic violence, nudity, ritual dances and atmosphere. It does deliver the exploitation goods, plus there's real characters and real story. ![]() I had some fine memories of seeing this (heavily edited) on TV when I was a kid, so I went and got the DVD.and it's really neat to see this completely uncut. Thankfully the effect isn't done as wildly in the later scenes and you actually can put away your neck brace and enjoy the film. Its the equivalent to whiplash and really distracts from the early attack scenes. My only complaint is that some knucklehead thought it would be a good idea to zoom in and out every time the monster attacks. Its the sort of movie they don't make any more. It moves along at a good clip, has a great monster, some very graphic killings (you will see blood, limbs and intestines) and some topless women. What can I say about a movie that begins with the audience being given "the pledge of the green blood" other than see this movie? If you like old school horror films, or drive-in style movies, this film is for you. Its mad doctor on the loose using science to create a monster that runs around killing people. Sequel to Brides of Blood (and third of the Blood Island films, the first being Terror is a Man which only shares the same location) this is more of the same only up a notch. What they find when they get there is a monster on the loose that likes to disembowel and dismember (graphically) his victims. The doctor is there to investigate a supposed out break of a new disease. The handsome islander is there to reunite with his mother. The beautiful Young girl is there to find her father. Three people come to Blood Island for their own reasons.
