The Hands of Orlac – aka Les Mains d’Orlac – is a 1960 French-British horror film directed by Edmond T. Gréville from a screenplay co-written with Donald Taylor and John V. Baines, based on Maurice Renard’s novel. In the US, the film was reissued as Hands of the Strangler.

Renard’s novel had been adapted previously for cinema. There is a 1924 Austrian version directed by Robert Weine and starring Conrad Veidt, and, Mad Love, the 1935 American version, directed by Karl Freund and starring Peter Lorre. Both are better regarded than this interpretation.

Main cast: 

Mel Ferrer (Nightmare City; Blood and Roses), Christopher Lee, Dany Carrel (Mill of the Stone Women), Lucile Saint-Simon, Felix Aylmer, Donald Wolfit (Blood of the Vampire), Donald Pleasence. David Peel, who plays the airline pilot, starred in The Brides of Dracula the same year.

Plot:

Lauded concert pianist Stephen Orlac  insists on flying from London back to Paris to marry beautiful Louise Cochrane. However, the small aircraft he has hired crashes in fog. Next day, newspapers run two headlines next to each other: the ruin of his hands, as well as the execution of the strangler Louis Vasseur. Orlac’s mind begins to crack.

Henceforth, Nero, a magician and conman, attempts to blackmail Orlac and drive him insane…

Reviews:

“Despite the datedness of the filmmakers’ approach, there are some moments when The Hands of Orlac is inadvertently modern almost despite itself, such as the frequent use of mirror-based compositions and the strangler’s fetishistic gloves, both of which seem to foreshadow 1970s gialli. One place where the filmmakers make a more conscious effort to be contemporary is in their choice of a jazz-based score.” Keith Brown, Cinefantastique

” … the highly professional finish Greville brings to the proceedings, and the fact that it works on technical and artistic levels, prevents it from being called a bad film, and therefore, it certainly wouldn’t qualify on a ‘worst of British’ list … but its mediocrity, and inability to make usage of all the ‘right ingredients’, is in some ways worse.” Drewe Shimon, BritMovie.co.uk

“Slightly dull remake of 1924 classic, Hands of Orlac has great cast but fails on most levels. Watch other remake Mad Love (1935) instead.” The Spooky Isles

“The whole idea is more than a little silly and never rings true in a psychological sense, either … Claude Bolling’s jazzy score is more enjoyable.” Mike Mayo, The Horror Show Guide

‘Evil is born… not made’

The Evil Gene is a 2015 American science fiction horror thriller film written, produced and directed by Kathryn F. Taylor, her feature debut.

Scientists studying the DNA of mass murderers have discovered a rare gene, HSS-282, that they associate with violent, psychotic behaviour. Federal prison inmates possessing this “Evil Gene” have been isolated in a remote correctional facility for further testing.

FBI Agent Griff Krenshaw is sent to investigate a grisly murder and he soon becomes convinced that a much darker force is at work within the prison walls…

Main cast:

Richard Speight Jr. (Death House; Open Water 2: Adrift; Demonic Toys), Cameron Richardson (Open Water 2: Adrift; Rise: Blood Hunter), Anthony L. Fernandez, Lindsay Ginter, Gene Gabriel, Ted Heyck, Lindsay Ayliffe, Jon-Paul Vertuccio, James Crosby, Ned Liebl, Kervens Joseph.

Reviews:

“The Evil Gene often comes off like a minor episode of The X Files, with its moody colour palette and exposition-filled mystery. Add a dash of Shutter Island and Stonehearst Asylum, and you have a decent time waster. As a first time filmmaker, Taylor shows plenty of promise…” Elliot Maguire, UK Horror Scene

“The Evil Gene is a very good tension builder as we see how people inside the facility have been genetically branded evil and this does offer up a moral question about whether if there was such a thing how would we deal with it. The only downside to this film is the almost lacklustre vision ending to the film…” Movie Reviews 101

‘They came, they thawed, they conquered…’

The Chilling is a 1989 American science fiction horror film directed by Deland Nuse (Return of the Boogeyman) and Jack A. Sunseri (producer of The Dead Pit) from a screenplay the latter co-wrote with actor Guy Michel Messenger.

The film stars Linda Blair (Repossessed; Hell Night; The Exorcist and The Heretic), Dan Haggerty (Axe Giant; Elves; Terror Night) and Troy Donahue (Shock ‘Em Dead; Blood Nasty; Seizure!). It is also known as Gamma 693 and The Thawing.

Main cast:

Linda Blair, Dan Haggerty, Troy Donahue, Jack De Rieux, Ron Vincent, Michael Jacobs, John Flanagan, Steve Gluck, Peggy Duncan, Jack A. Sunseri, Rick Blanchard, Jim Thrasher, Roger Wallace, Neil O’Neill, Robert Clark.

Plot:

Halloween night: Dr. Miller (Troy Donahue) runs the Universal Cryogenics Laboratory in Kansas City. He is secretly harvesting his patients’ organs and selling them on the black market.

Meanwhile, his secretary, Mary (Linda Blair), and latest client, grieving Joseph Davenport (Jack De Rieux), whose wife and bank robber son are being ‘cared’ for by Dr. Miller, are developing a fledgling relationship. Unfortunately, an electrical storm brings all the lab’s deep frozen corpses back to life and they run amok…

Reviews:

“The acting and production values of The Chilling are on par with such celebrated classics as Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare, Future-Kill and Troll 2 … After her initial success, Blair pretty much dedicated her life to doing nothing but low-budget, crappy horror movies and The Chilling is just one more in a long line of them.” Mark Pellegrini, Adventures in Poor Taste!

“It’s not entertaining. Everything is too dark, the budget was probably below $20,000 and one doctor had a giant sword in his office. You think all of that would add up to be a perfect recipe for a movie so bad it’s good, but no. Outside of a few funny Dan Haggerty moments the entire movie was pretty tiresome.”Dymon Enlow, Happyotter

“The film is belabored and obvious, but its not everyday you see Grizzly Adams fend off a horde of zombies with a forklift … Though they don’t really do anything interesting, the cryonoids do look sharp with their glowing white eyes, wearing their sleek, TV dinner foil suits.” Peter Dendle, The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia

Buy: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.ca

“Aside from looking like space zombies the makeup wasn’t very convincing, and was just another tacky element in a cheap movie. The acting is almost all bad, and the script is lazy, with the story taking some implausible leaps for convenience’s sake, and I don’t just mean the cryogenic related stuff. A few unintentional laughs are to be had, but otherwise there’s not much to this lacklustre effort.” Devon B., Digital Retribution

‘The transplant was a success. Then the donor came to take it back.’

Body Parts is a 1991 American horror thriller film directed by Eric Red (scripter of The Hitcher; Near Dark; director of 100 Feet and Bad Moon) from a screenplay co-written with Norman Snider (Dead Ringers). It was adapted from a 1965 novel, Choice Cuts, by French authors Thomas Narcejac and Pierre Boileau. The Paramount film was produced by Frank Mancuso Jr. (sequels to Friday the 13th; Species films).

Main cast:

Jeff Fahey (Atomic Shark; Beneath; Psycho III), Lindsay Duncan (Frankenstein, 2007), Kim Delaney (Nightmares & Dreamscapes; The Devil’s Child; Hunter’s Blood) Brad Dourif (Chucky series; Malignant; Spontaneous Combustion) and Zakes Mokae (Vampire in Brooklyn); Dust Devil; The Serpent and the Rainbow).

Opening plot:

Bill Chrushank (Jeff Fahey) is a psychologist working with convicted killers at a prison in addition to teaching classes at a university. Ray, a convict who murdered his cellmate recently, tells Bill he can’t do anything to “fix” him. At home, Bill wonders to his wife (Kim Delaney) if this is true.

The next day, while driving to work, Bill gets in a horrific car accident where he loses his arm. At the hospital, Dr. Agatha Webb (Lindsay Duncan) convinces Bill’s wife to sign off on an experimental transplant surgery to give him a new arm from a donor they have waiting. Heavily drugged, Bill is wheeled into the operating room where he groggily notes several armed cops in hospital scrubs. The cops leave as soon as Dr. Webb removes the unknown donor’s head from his body at a nearby operating table. Bill awakens from the surgery and struggles to rehabilitate his new arm, which is covered in gruesome scars.

After some initial awkwardness between his wife with the new arm, he pleasures her with it and they make love. Just when it seems things are back to normal, Bill starts seeing flashes of horrible acts of murder (as if he is committing them). Next, he loses control of his new arm and cuts his face while shaving…

Reviews:

“From the eerie, overly dramatic score to the beautifully executed over-the-top action sequences to the gruesome gore, Body Parts is a horror film that never lets its ambition get in the way of enjoyment, leaving you with a film that’s pure entertainment and thrills. Sure, there are subtle themes about inherent evil and more than a few Frankenstein references, but in the end, this is a film that presents a beautifully executed high-concept.” Peter Shirey, JoBlo

“What could have been a reasonably interesting thriller literally goes to pieces in last third, until the brain seems the most salient part missing … the narrative hurriedly kicks into a slasher mode, replete with car chases, dismemberment and unintentional, if rather vulgar, hilarity.” Variety

“The direction has an edgy authority, and there’s one terrifying scene where the psychologist, who gets himself fingerprinted in order to discover where his limb originated, stares in horror as the police rap sheet prints out a nauseating litany of murders. But the movie is too cold and clammy and humorless.” Peter Rainer, Los Angeles Times

“Eric Red honours the story’s heritage while updating it and adding all the ingredients befitting a horror or an action movie of the time …The only misstep is an absolutely ridiculous car chase where two people are handcuffed together while sitting in different cars!” Mark Hodgson, Black Hole Reviews

“Director Eric Red, screenwriter of The Hitcher, gives a grungy new spin to a familiar genre theme in this tacky but vigorous mad doctor movie.” Time Out London

‘It just won’t lay down and stay dead’

The Head is a 1959 German science fiction horror thriller written and directed by Russian-born Victor Trivas and produced by Wolf C. Hartwig (Horrors of Spider Island, Dead Sexy, Bloody Moon). It stars Michel Simon, Horst Frank and Paul Dahlke. The original title, Die Nackte und der Satan, translates as “The Naked and the Devil”.

Trans-Lux released the film in the US in 1961. In the UK, it was cut by the BBFC for an ‘X’ certificate and released in 1964 by S F Films on a double-bill with Playgirls and the Vampire.

Plot:

Professor Abel (Michel Simon) has invented Serum Z, which he has used to keep a dog’s severed head alive. His mad assistant, Doctor Ood (Horst Frank) then uses the serum to keep Simon’s own head alive after a failed heart transplant.

Meanwhile, Ood also plans to transplant the head of a hunchbacked nurse onto the body of an alcoholic stripper…

Reviews:

“The Head remains one of the better entries in the decapitated body genre […] The Germanic influence makes this film most entertaining and the image of Michel Simon’s disembodied head begging to be disconnected from its life-giving fluids is a guilty pleasure worth reliving from time to time.” Christopher Dietrich, DVD Drive-In

“Overall, The Head is rather forgettable. It probably would have left a stronger impression had Horst Franck taken a more over the top approach. Yes, the subdued approach he took was a solid choice, but there really wasn’t anything else to give the movie personality.” Christopher Beaumont, Critical Outcast

“The image of Michel Simon’s disembodied head combined with the landscape of expressionistic surroundings courtesy of Hermann Warm invest Trivas’s film with a genuinely bizarre encounter of the German era past and present Euro horror.” David Del Valle, kinoeye

“Although obviously not endowed with a large budget, and hardly the most original or well paced script, The Head remains enjoyable thanks to great looking sets and soundtrack, and a superb lead performance from Horst Frank.” Timothy Young, Mondo Esoterica

“Filmed in a landscape composed of dead trees, dark passageways, a scary cavernous house in the woods with a strange futuristic look, and a menacing looking operating room, the Euro horror film sets up a hellish Germanic expressionistic atmosphere. There’s trashy fun to be had…” Dennis Schwartz, Ozus’ World Movie Reviews

“Its dark cinematography mixes, Noir, Expressionism, and exploitation. Atonal music and weird sounds pervade the background. Very little gore is actually shown, but the IDEA of gore is omnipresent. You feel like you’ve stepped into an underworld. Its villain – a grim selfish scientist with a arched eyebrows who manipulates everyone around him – is loathsome.”David Elroy Goldweber, Claws & Saucers

‘Fear is always the best medicine’

Deimosimine is a 2017 science fiction horror film directed by Chad Armstrong (Mortality) from a screenplay by producer Andrew Thompson (Circle). The LC Films production stars Cassidy Balkcom, Portia Chellelynn and Gary Lee Vincent. 

Cindy (Cassidy Balkcom) is a twenty-something girl who has had a rough life. She believes that her wealthy mother killed her father and got away with it. After years of running from this horrible past, she turns to heroin to cope with her painful memories.

Embarrassed by her daughters addiction, her mother seeks out a doctor who has created a cure for all addictions… a drug that induces fear within the addict, a fear so frightening and real that, theoretically, the patient will not want to go back to those dark places, and thus stop using.

Cindy becomes addicted to this drug – Deimosimine – and starts to believe she is hunting down demons, monsters, and aberrations, but in reality is slaughtering humans, becoming a mass murderer.

As she ups her dosage, the drug begins to alter the chemical balance in her brain, and she begins to become enveloped into this dark other world without the heroin…

The film is being distributed worldwide by Armstrong’s Legless Corpse Films.

Main cast:

Cassidy Balkcom (The Walking Dead) Portia Chellelynn (Hematic Web; Leaf Blower Massacre 2; Candie’s Harem; et al), Gary Lee Vincent (Ted Bundy Had a Son; Killer Campout; Death House), Alex Zuko, Jim O’Rear (Don’t Look in the Basement 2), Richard Chandler, Leah Hudspeth, Tom Hagale, Johnathan Blake, Scott Everett, Randy Razook, Carol Brown, Richard Langsmith, Joseph Bodkin, Mallory Elaine.

‘Drop in anytime.’

The Dead Pit is a 1989 American horror film directed by Brett Leonard (Feed; Man-Thing; Hideaway; The Lawnmower Man) from a screenplay co-written with producer Gimel Everett. It stars Jeremy Slate, Cheryl Lawson and Stephen Gregory Foster.

Dr. Ramzi, a medical deviate intent on torturing his patients, is seemingly killed and buried in the basement of a mental health facility.

Twenty years later, the hospital is running again and Jane Doe arrives at the institute. Upon her arrival, a major earthquake rocks the building and unearths the now undead Dr. Ramzi and his legion of zombie patients. Meanwhile, mentally retarded Catholic nuns attempt to exorcise the patients …

Reviews:

“Dead Pit is an awful movie; yet, there’s something in it that just makes me enjoy it. Could it be Jane Doe’s ample hips? The doc’s glowing red eyes? The gore-soaked carnage? I don’t know, man. For every good thing I can name about this movie there are at least three bad things that immediately come to mind.” Steve Barton, Dread Central

“Leonard’s uninvolving psychological horror revels in shock effects and disrupted narrative logic, poured into the tired dreamworld and asylum settings of Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellbound.” Peter Dendle, The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia

Buy: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.ca

“The scenes where Jane Doe hangs out with all the assorted oddballs and lunatics who are locked up in the loony bin pushes things into One Zombie Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest territory (or maybe Zombie, Interrupted) and the constant barrage of pointless psychoanalyzing, irritating dream sequences and annoying flashbacks don’t help.” Mitch Lovell, The Video Vacuum

“At over an hour and forty minutes, Dead Pit is over-padded by half, and the zombie scenes seem to go on and on and on and on without the ample arterial spray that should accompany them.” Bill Gibron, DVD Talk

“This serious attempt at horror never quite hits its mark, evolving into a series of gory laughs, which is what is so endearing about it.” Adam Lukeman, Fangoria’s 101 Best Horror Movies You’ve Never Seen

Buy: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.ca

“If The Dead Pit sounds like it’s kinda silly and a little bit campy … well, it is. However, it’s also a lot of fun, the type of unapologetically trashy horror film that makes for perfect Halloween viewing. Director Brett Leonard makes good use of what appears to be a very small budget.” Lisa Marie Bowman, Horror Critic

Reviews:

“The characters are all melodramatic and hateful, and the dialogue is often gleefully dreadful. Moro goes for over-the-top drama and achieves it. The film is stylized and consistently campy, and is, if nothing else, thoroughly entertaining.” William Harrison, DVD Talk

“The bulk of the sleazy material is in the second act. It turns out that amongst the insane patients there are also some drug addicts that would do anything in order to get their fix. This is a good enough excuse to have some lesbian lovemaking scenes, catfights, and torture footage with a few sadistic guards.” Dr. Svet Atanasov, Blu-ray.com

“Lots of nudity? Check. Shower scene? Check. Butch lesbian “warden”/hospital administrator using her position to seduce young women? Check. Riots (or in this case, freaked-out loonies scrabbling out of their cages)? Check. Fistfights? Check. Torture? Check.” Paul Mavis, DVD Drive-In

“A loose plot shifts between genuine terror, gonzo gore, and gorgeous lesbians with little aplomb. Most of the actors have flat line readings aplenty, but Richard Cox and Mary Woronov make the best with what they have to work with. Hellhole as at its best with its surreal torture scenes and offbeat lesbian sex comedy bits.” Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Battleship Pretension

“Per the WIP template, toplessness is a must of its caged coquettes, yet Savannah Smiles (!) director Pierre De Moro throws bottomlessness in there, too, to give his flick a bonus layer of ’80s sleaze.” Rod Lott, Flick Attack

“Those looking for a horror picture could be setting themselves up for disappointment as there’s nothing frightening about this movie at all save for a few bad boob jobs and Z’Dar’s mighty chin. But fans of cheap, trashy exploitation? This’ll deliver.” Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop!

Choice dialogue:

Dr. Fletcher: “At least I have sexual hangups. You don’t even have sex.”

Dr. Fletcher: “I find sand more therapeutic than water.”

Silk: “I’m the, erm, mud control inspector.”

Dr. Fletcher: “You’re not mentally ill, you’re emotionally disturbed,”

Brad: “Alright, you f*cking c*nts, knock it off!”

Silk: “I’ll tell ya what. You can be a piece of bread, you can be a piece of cheese, provolone cheese. And I’ll be the baloney. And together we’ll make a sandwich. How do you like that, huh?”

Dr. Fletcher: “I’d like to rip your f*cking skull off! But instead I will make you permanently insane.”

‘Evil cuts both ways.’

Autopsy is a 2008 American horror feature film directed by Adam Gierasch (Tales of Halloween segment; Fractured; Night of the Demons; plus many horror screenplays). The movie stars Jessica Lowndes, Ross Cohn, Ross McCall, Ashley Schneider and Robert Patrick.

Five friends enjoy Mardi Gras in New Orleans. While driving home on the State Route 53, Louisiana, Emily has a car accident. Her boyfriend Bobby and their friends Clare, Dmitriy and Jude are horrified to discover that she had hit a stranger.

When they see an ambulance on the road, they ask for help and the attendants take them to Mercy Hospital. Stern nurse Marian tells Bobby to go to the exam room. When Emily tries to get information about her boyfriend, she meets Dr. David Benway who tells her the Bobby is all right. However, Emily soon unravels a dark secret about Dr. Benway and his team…

Reviews:

“Director Adam Gierasch shows some talent with a few sick set pieces and bursts of aggression, but some comatose performances, predictable jumps and a slightly aimless final third keep this in stable condition.” Cameron McGaughey, DVD Talk

” …once Autopsy gets moving with its strange sense of humor and its admirable devotion to old-fashioned, over-the-top, Fango-friendly gore-gasms…” Scott Weinberg, FEARnet

“Choice scenes, such as of the teens tussling with a recently sutured patient, will make you giggle and retch in equal measure while others will startle you out of your skin. It is this mixture of shock tactics, tension, gore and comedy that really make this film stand out from the pack. Not many film makers can skate the thin line between horror and comedy so adeptly, but Gierasch nails the tone perfectly.” Gorepress

“The gore factor is an absolute blast. There’s a slew of entertaining death scenes which, admittedly borrow from such previous works as Turistas, Friday the 13th and even Dawn of the Dead – but there’s some creativity sprinkled in here and there (there’s something strangely entertaining about severed limbs and hand sanders) that really helps to give Autopsy it’s own identity.” Matt Molgaard, Horror Asylum

” …when you have good acting in a horror movie, that always makes for a great time. Everything else, especially emotion, instantly becomes more credible. The blood and gore is rather plentiful and one of the scenes towards the end is quite memorable. One of those that would make the perfect backdrop to any horror diorama.” Angel Van Croft, Horror News

“Autopsy is a poor man’s cousin of flicks like Hostel, where things just aren’t quite they seem and victims get compartmentalized in some divide and conquer strategy. In most cases, you’re going to laugh at the scenes for being implausible, or clumsily executed, so while I won’t recommend this film as a horror flick, I definitely would do so as a comedy of errors…” (A Nutshell) Review

” …a return to when horror was fun and not simply a vehicle to hit people around the head with loud music and poorly thought out developments. The movie didn’t take itself seriously and delivered just what I needed, a damn fine horror flick not afraid to go over the top. The fate of one of the characters in this one is simply brutal and shocking…” Scary Minds

‘When the forces of evil infuse your body will you scream out…’

Help Me… I’m Possessed is a 1974 American horror feature film directed by Belgian-born director Charles Nitzet (Voodoo Heartbeat, The Ravager). The movie stars co-writer Bill Greer, in his only acting role, other co-writer Deedy Peters, and Lynne Marta.

The film remained in the cinematic wilderness for many years, having only a limited theatrical run in 1976. In 1984, it was released on VHS by Video Gems as The Possessed. The movie features an electronic synth score by an uncredited composed.

In the American desert, a young couple has been brutally murdered and the local sheriff immediately suspects fishy goings-on at the castle-like sanitarium run by reclusive Dr. Arthur Blackwood (Bill Greer).

Assuring the sheriff that his work there is entirely above board and consists of little more than helping disturbed individuals return to society, he does little to allay the police’s fears, not least when his loopy doll-hugging singing sister appears.

Indeed, we soon learn that the doctor is perhaps not entirely qualified, housing a collection of chained up, scantily clad ladies, a Catweazle-alike prisoner and a hunchback in his basement, all at the mercy of his insane experiments, designed to rid them of madness.

When not being whipped and brutalised, these ‘volunteers’ suffer an even worse fate if they don’t behave or illicit positive results, being killed by snake, guillotine and being hacked up to fit the wrongly-sized coffins.

The arrival of the doctor’s new wife (Peters) sees his plans begin to unravel as disappearing members of staff and her cranky husband arouse her suspicion. Worse still, when she uncovers his experiments she learns that the harnessed ‘evil’ extracted from the patients has manifest itself as something malevolent and hideous…

Written by both Peters and Greer (somewhat remarkably considering her later life as the girlfriend of David Soul and his as writer and producer of TV shambles Charles in Charge), Help Me… I’m Possessed! feels like an amalgam of Al Adamson‘s films, slightly restrained H.G. Lewis fare and lunatic imprisonment films like Blood Sucking Freaks.

The acting standards are all of the same unremarkable quality but are engaging and fun, particularly Greer who looks completely ill-fitting in the role, and all the better for it. Though the torture and bloodletting are tame in comparison to Lewis’ films, they are still brutal and heartless enough to raise a serious question mark over the film’s initial PG rating!

The title is somewhat misleading (it was filmed with the more apt working title Nightmare at Blood Castle, there’s no possession in the film as such, only the mysterious evil presence which is represented by Lovecraftian red tentacle-like appendages wafting at the camera.

Coming to a conclusion just before it starts to go around in circles once too often, perhaps the most arresting aspect of the film is the avant-garde electronic score, completely unnerving and genuinely excellent though the film does not name any composer, only an Al Bart in the sound department, who evidently did not go on to better things.

Grimy and fun, Help Me… I’m Possessed! was released on DVD by Code Red on a double-bill with Blind Dead director Amando de Ossorio’s Demon Witch Child, the connection being that they were both known as The Possessed in various releases.

Other reviews:

“As seedy as it all is, Help Me…I’m Possessed is so unrelentingly unusual that it never gets dull, and every five or ten minutes some new absurdity takes this wildly colorful spook show into a deeper, weirder place. Those in search of unique cinematic experiences should keep an eye out for this worthy obscurity…” Fred Beldin, All Movie

“Random shots disappear and float into the subconscious as the monster growls (From an elephant? An orangutang?) burst into the soundtrack for no apparent reason. Plus, mean-spirited torture becomes instantly hilarious when the torturer can’t keep his wig on. The cheapness permeates and the lunacy prevails.” Joseph A. Ziemba, Bleeding Skull!

” …feels more like a throwback to ’60s schlock films (especially basement mad scientist epics like The Brain that Wouldn’t Die) thanks to hoary scenes like a man stuck in a guillotine poised to drop after a candle burns through the rope holding up the blade, and the paint-like blood gets sloshed around without any blades actually cutting anyone in graphic detail. There are also lots of women in their undies acting terrified, of course…” Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital

“The low budget craftsmanship (or lack thereof) is endearing.  The dated costumes, groovy music, stilted acting, and awful wigs are guaranteed to put a smile on any bad movie lovers’ faces. The surprise is, the monster effects are startlingly effective.The writhing tentacles are similar in many ways to Rob Bottin’s effects in John Carpenter’s The Thing, even if they do resemble sentient Red Vines.” Mitch Lovell, The Video Vacuum

Choice dialogue:

Dr. Blackwood: “Dead? There is no such thing. Death is a fabrication of the mind.”

Sheriff Taylor: “I’ve seen a lot of dead bodies, doctor. Mutilated bodies. Accident victims. I’ve never seen anything like this. Never!”

Dr. Blackwood: “When I saw Mr. Zolak’s head severed from his body, I felt a definite sexual thrill. I must be very careful.”

The Mad Doctor of Blood Island is a 1968 Filipino science fiction horror feature film, co-directed by Eddie Romero and Gerardo de Leon from a screenplay by Reuben Canoy. The movie stars John Ashley, Angelique Pettyjohn and Ronald Remy.

It was the third in a series of four Filipino horror films produced by Romero and Kane W. Lynn known as the “Blood Island” series, which also included Terror Is a Man, Brides of Blood and Beast of Blood. It was re-issued as Grave Desires and also released as Tomb of the Living Dead.

American pathologist Dr. Bill Foster (John Ashley) is on a ship to Blood Island to investigate a strange chlorophyll disease that has afflicted the population. Meanwhile, Sheila Willard (Angelique Pettyjohn) has travelled to the island to reunite with her estranged father. The captain of their ship claims that the place is cursed and recounts a story of a native they picked up on a raft who “turned into a raving lunatic” and bled green blood after being shot, before he escaped into the sea…

Reviews:

” …this Filipino-lensed mishmash of Weird Tales-style pulp adventure and ’60s-era exploitation has a loopy charm that will be best appreciated by fans of low-budget horror. The special effects, while subpar by Hollywood standards, are appropriately gooey, and actresses Alicia Alonso and Angelique Pettyjohn provide sufficient eye candy…” Paul Gaita, AllMovie

“It’s kind of fun in that sleazy drive-in sense, but I found the annoying camera tricks whenever the monster shows up (we get rapid zoom-in-zoom-out-zoom-in-zoom-out-etc. effects) is almost nauseating, and not in a fun way. There’s also a fair amount of nudity to add to the gore…” Dave Sindelar, Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings

“Hardly any of the actresses manage to escape from the film without either taking off their clothes for the camera or shooting a scene which ends with them lying in a heap of offal and stage blood— and in most cases, the one is followed directly by the other. It was awfully intense for the 60’s, and is nothing to scoff at even today. Consequently, if you judge a drive-in movie by its power to shock and offend, Mad Doctor of Blood Island deserves high marks indeed.” 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting

” …the best of the “Blood Island” movies. Here, the pacing is better, as the movie moves at a decent clip. Also, the exploitation elements have been ramped up, as we get more nudity, and more gore. Severed limbs, decapitation, mutilation and exposed innards are the name of the game here. Also, while Brides tends to get a bit talky, Mad Doctor is more dedicated to action and cheap thrills…” Talk of Horrors

“Romero gets a Pavlovian response out of his audience every time the monster shows up, because whenever it is about to attack, the camera gets real shaky and zoomy. The shaky cam stuff is kinda cool at first, but Romero goes a little overboard with it sometimes and it’s enough to make you dizzy. The green faced zombie himself is pretty cool looking…” Mitch Lovell, The Video Vacuum

Choice dialogue:

Dr. Lorca: “When he comes to… give him some hot soup. And no green vegetables, of course.”

Dr. Lorca: “My dear Dr. Foster, you talk like a lovesick shop girl. We all rot away in the end.”

Cast and characters:

• John Ashley … Dr. Bill Foster
• Angelique Pettyjohn … Sheila Willard – Biohazard
• Ronald Remy … Dr. Lorca
• Alicia Alonzo … Marla
• Ronaldo Valdez … Carlos Lopez
• Tita Muñoz … Mrs. Lopez
• Tony Edmunds … Mr. Willard
• Alfonso Carvajal … Ramu
• Bruno Punzalan … Razak
• Edward D. Murphy … Captain
• Eddie Garcia … The monster

Promotion:

A prologue to the film suggested that attendees partake in a bizarre initiation, and each patron was given a free packet of coloured liquid labelled “green blood”. At a certain point, the audience was told to “recite the oath of green blood” as they tore open the little packets and drank the coloured liquid inside. By doing this, the viewer could safely watch “the unnatural green-blooded ones without fear of contamination”. The prologue was filmed at Clark Air Base in Manila using American teenagers.

Release:

Mad Doctor was released in the USA in 1969 on a double-bill with the 1967 West German horror film Blood Demon.

In 1969, a practice arose in some states (Rhode Island, in particular) wherein the local newspapers began omitting the word “blood” from the titles of films they were advertising. In certain areas, Mad Doctor was advertised as The Mad Doctor of Crimson Island and Blood Demon became The Crimson Demon.

Image Entertainment released Mad Doctor on DVD in 2002, featuring a commentary track by Sam Sherman and an interview with co-director Eddie Romero.

On 23 October 2018, Severin Films is releasing Mad Doctor on Blu-ray as part of the Blood Island Collection

Re-Animator Herbert West action figure is a 2018 collectible novelty by NECA.

“Herbert West has a good head on his shoulders… and another one on his desk… From Re-Animator, the movie based on H.P. Lovecraft’s classic tale of terror, NECA presents the mad scientist Herbert West in action figure form!

The 1985 movie has achieved cult status for its dark and hilarious mix of science fiction, horror and comedy, and starred Jeffrey Combs as a medical student who will stop at nothing to perfect his reanimation serum.

As a clothed action figure, Herbert stands 8” tall and is dressed in his lab coat. He comes with a bottle of reanimation reagent, syringe, bloody shovel, Rufus the cat, and a tray containing the severed head of the last guy who tried to steal his invention. Resealable clamshell packaging.”

Meanwhile, compare NECA’s Herbert West action figure with the Monstarz version we profiled in 2016.

‘Fear what’s inside you’

The Harrowing is a 2017 supernatural horror feature film written, produced and directed by Jon Keeyes (Fall Down Dead; Nightmare Box; Suburban Nightmare; Hallow’s End). The movie stars Matthew Tompkins, Arnold Vosloo, Arianne Martin and Michael Ironside.

Plot:

Accused of the ritualistic murder of his best friend, a vice detective bent on finding the truth is plunged into Hell when he goes undercover and discovers that demons might be real…

Background:

Jon Keeyes, writer and director of the film, says “We’ve carefully crafted an intelligent, suspenseful, tense thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats while driving them down a road of psychological twists and turns. Right out of the gate, we pull them in with an explosive opening sequence, and then keep them guessing as the mystery unfolds until we blow their minds in the final moments. Being able to construct such an intricate puzzle like this – that is both entertaining and thought provoking – has been a joy.”

Matthew Tompkins, producer: “The Harrowing is carefully constructed to be a powerful synergy of elements that make it one of those rare ‘elevated’ genre films with true crossover appeal to a wide variety of hardcore fans…The film is a potent mix of horror and supernatural elements that underpin a very smart, disturbing, and complicated psychological thriller…the idea of being able to drive the narrative utilising all of these things, to truly pull that off, from both a commercial and artistic perspective, was a fantastic opportunity for us as filmmakers.”
