Product Description

Product Description

Featured on the Director of Public Prosecution s original 39-title video nasties list, at last you can see what all the fuss is about in this gore-geous new 16:9 transfer. René Cardona Sr - patriarch of Mexico s number one genre film-making dynasty - delivers this wonderfully silly tale of a dying young man given the heart of a gorilla to keep him alive. Unfortunately the man transforms into a murderous ape-like monster and goes on a girly hunt. Not one to be put-off, the surgeon (his father) tries again - this time with the heart of a female wrestler. This medical-horror-sci-fi masterpiece was written by René and his son René (who, incidentally, had a son called René), neither of whom had even a cursory knowledge of either medicine or science. This makes it w-a-a-y-yy more enjoyable.... No surprise then that this was filmed in just three weeks (in May 1968), largely in Mexico City s Chapultepec Park. While already chock full of gratuitous nudity and femmes-in-peril, US film-maker Jerald Intrator ( Orgy at Lil s Place , Satan in High Heels ) decided to improve on things by adding close-up, super-gory footage of open-heart surgery. He even filmed some new material to spice up the monster s attacks with sanguinary make-up effects and even more nudity

A surgeon who's son is in need of a heart transplant abducts a gorilla and transplants it's heart into his son, the son then becomes a murderous monster, attacking and killing everyone he meets.

Totally ridiculous but fun Mexican video nasty. Firstly there seems to be two completely separate stories here, the monster killings and the police detectives female wrestler girlfriend considering her career, it is strange because the first half the wrestling stuff takes up a lot of screen time but ultimately goes nowhere and means even less. The gore is quite strong at times (the open heart surgery is incredibly visceral and apparently real) but never offensive, even the supposed sexual violence isn't, he rips up women's clothes scratches at them a bit then runs away it's that silly. Shot in Spanish and the dubbing is awful and the acting is just about passable, the pacing is good once the monster starts his rampage but before has a strange feel little like a family drama. Story of the film does share a lot with Frankenstein- mad doctor, limping slave, monster rampaging- but goes a lot further than any Frankenstein movie till that point.

As mentioned utterly ridiculous and over the top, but inoffensive and a fun way to spend 81 minutes. In the UK the 2012 Nucleus DVD release is uncut and is the one to get.

One of the last of the video nasties to have caught up on (I only watch them when I can get them uncut). And indeed this Nucleus Films DVD re-issue is the full uncensored version. And what a hoot it is. So outrageous and silly - but with great cheap gore and sleaze (and some of the gore is actually quite good). Widescreen 1.78:1 16x9 video. The wait for a proper quality release was worth it. Highly recommended for its entertainment value - just leave your brain at the door.

This applies to the 'Salvation Films/Film 2000' version-

The film that was presented to the BBFC was the old VHS pre-cut version, why it has 'Uncut' on the box I do not know.
It doesn't run 84 mins., only 77 mins.
It also doesn't feature the 'Theatrical Trailer', just some trailers for Salvation Films own low-rent properties.

I HATE it when companies do this, in any other field it would be called fraud. Still, at least Salvation aren't as bad as (modern day) Vipco.

The 2007 'Redemption DVD' is the uncut version for R2, if you want R1, go for the 'Something Weird' release.

PS I couldn't give it 'No Stars', so I will say it has good picture quality, it's a shame the contents missing.

In checking the reviews on this ready for ordering (I'm a freelance reviewer) I was just wondering how Perkins could actually write even a 1 star review when the film has not yet been released - today is the 12th September and the film doesn't come out until 8th October 2012? curious, perhaps he used a crystal ball to watch this film? His comments clearly relate to a much older release. It will not detract me from placing a pre-order and hopefully everyone else out there will make their own mind up.

HASH(0x8504bc0c) out of 5 stars Crypt of Terror: La Horripilante Bestia Humana/Munecos Infernales (Night of the Bloody Apes/Curse of the Doll People) 23 Feb. 2014
By Celia Trimboli - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Great Spanish-language, Mexican-made double feature. La Horripilante Bestia Humana aka Night of the Bloody Apes, made in the late 1960's, is a color film about a doctor/scientist who, with the best of intentions, tries to cure his son of a fatal ailment and with his treatment unintentionally turns him into a murderous, raping ape-man. A female wrestler and her detective boyfriend go about trying to solve the series of strange, BLOODY murders. My beef is that there is a LOT of blood. There is also stock footage of actual operations in all their GRAPHIC glory. The second film is better. Munecos Infernales aka Curse of the Doll People, made in the early 1960's,is a black-and-white film about a curse laid on a bunch of scientists/adventurers who steal an idol from some natives. They are then killed and turned into possessed doll people who go about killing the guilty parties with poisoned needles. The curse is orchestrated by an evil voodoo priest and his zombiefied henchman who looks like he has a wrinkled towel for a face. The actor who plays the voodoo priest is the most compelling character. The female doctor who tries to solve the whole mess is the strongest character, a welcome change from the usual damsels in distress from that era. I ordered the BCI/Eclipse DVD release. The quality of the DVD is very good, probably the best out there. It also has English-language alternatives. Highly recommended.
