| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonZombie Holocaust could easily have been called Cannibal Holocaust had another Italian gorefest from the same period not already snagged that title. |
| User Reviewvieras eOne of the most violent movies of it's time (1979), it contains my favourite scene of all time, where a zombie get's de-faced with a boat motor. The zombies look like shit, but who cares? the plot goes everywhere and there is alot of convincing violence. |
| User ReviewGordon SA rip-off of a rip-off . . . or you can call it a "follow-up" to an "homage" of Dawn of the Dead. ZOMBI HOLOCAUST gets its title from CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (instead of cannibals there are zombies AND cannibals) and was released in The Untied States of America as DOCTOR BUTCHER MD (Medical Deviate) through Terry Levine and featured a segment from Roy Frumkis' Tales That Will Rip Your Heart Out with a bunch of Zombies rising from their graves; Roy Frumkis also brought us (horror fans) the ALL-TIME-CLASSICS: DOCUMENT OF THE DEAD (the incredible, excellent documentary of DAWN OF THE DEAD and STREET TRASH (the movie where the homeless guys play catch with a guy's scrotum) . ZOMBIES HOLOCAUST (Zombi is plural of Zombie in Italian), stars Ian Maculloch who also starred in Lucio Fulci's Zombie in a similar role, a newspaper reporter, Honestly, I find Zombi Holocaust to be pretty corny . . . but the soundtrack (that is actually playing on my computer as I write this) is awesome and is by the guy who did the soundtrack for Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (aka TRAP THEM AND KILL THEM). DOCTOR BUTCHER that played in the states has a different soundtrack. The zombies in Zombi Holocaust are actually lobotomized victims of Dr. Butcher (Dr. Umbreo played by DONALD O'BRIEN) and run around like wrestlers. Oh actually the working-title of Zombi Holocaust was Regina Dei Cannibali (Queen of the Cannibals) . . . Ian McCulloch's girlfriend Andrea Deli Colli is kidnapped by the cannibals who begin to worship her as their queen . . .under her influence, Andre Della Colli leads the cannibals to storm Dr. Butcher's hospital, the same set used in Zombi 2 and they burn it down along with Dr. Butcher and his lobotomized Zombies. |

| User ReviewJustin LWhen I get my PhD, I'm going to change my name to "Butcher, MD." You might feel ripped off that the 'zombies' are actually not zombies at all, but voodoo-crazy cannibals. But, wait, is this film not in fact just uncovering the correct genealogical origin of the term 'zombie?' Is it not, in fact, that our notion of zombies is a reactive inversion of the masterful plenitude of its original meaning, first recorded in West Africa in 1871 as a term employed to describe sacred trance states in primitive religious practices? See how Zombie Holocaust has undone the very idea of 'zombie' from within, and turned the logic of our attacks upon it inside out. Such ironic undoing of our supposedly rational categories of thought are playfully embodied in Dr. Butcher himself, in which a paragon of professional respectability is portrayed as an uncivilised maniac. Dr. Butcher is thus clearly intended by the scriptwriters as an ironic 'second coming' of Friedrich Nietzsche's Zarathustra. Truly, our god of modern rational, civilisation is dead. Zombie Holocaust hath slain him. And yet we lie philistines beneath the rubble. In fact, stunned by its devastating critique of our received values, are we not justified in saying that this film is therefore to modern cinema what 'The Birth of Tragedy' is to the tradition of European philosophy? Probably not, no. But still. Also, the trailer shows you everything worth seeing in the film, but in two minutes. Bargain. |
