The gore-level on display in Zombie Holocaust is higher than in Fulci’s
Zombie, unfortunately the film is less engaging, less impressive but don’t
let that indicate that Zombie Holocaust isn’t great entertainment. The
brazen nerve to steal actual footage from Lucio’s film is more alluring than
repugnant and the insanely ludicrous dialogue is more amusing than
confusing.

Where else would one find a film combing cannibals with weird rituals, a mad
egomaniac scientist and a bunch of strange-looking zombies? From this
amalgam of popular monsters of the period, you might believe this isn’t the
film for you, but if you love the gore (and there’s quite a lot of it!)
movies from the early eighties, this belongs on your DVD shelf.

Drafting in Ian McCulloch from Fulci’s classic (you can spot him as a
younger man opposite the great actor, Peter Cushing in The Ghoul), Zombie
Holocaust also stars that director’s New York Ripper star, Alexandra delli
Colli, removing her clothes at every given chance. Both become part of an
expedition of four and travel to the mysterious island of Kito. And it’s
there all Hell breaks loose.

The gore highlights are patently the star of the show, including
a) a heart and hand removal
b) a fellow has his throat slashed after being impaled upon bamboo shoots
c) another chap has his eyes gouged out
d) a zombie has his face ripped apart by a boat-propeller. ..etc.

I’ll finish with two great lines from the aforementioned scientist -

"I could easily kill you now, but I’m determined to have your brain!"

"The patient’s scream is disturbing me. Performing removal of vocal cords."

Extras include Theatrical Trailers, Deleted Scenes, Filmogpraphies & Stills
