Review

Zombi Holocaust (1979), like many Italian cannibal/zombie/gore films, has had dozens of titles. You will find it on IMDb as Zombie 3. Dr. Butcher M.D. has been a popular title for some of the releases in the US. The most important thing about this film is that they combine, but don't mix, a mad doctor, a naked woman, cannibals and zombies. Thus, whichever of the elements you enjoy, you can watch it without being distracted by the others. Someone is mutilating corpses in a New York hospital, so a fed, an anthropologist (Alexandra Delli Colli in her first role), a male assistant and a female newsie travel to an island believed to be the home of a cult doing the nasty work. They no sooner reach the island than they are attacked by Cannibals. A local doctor attempts to rescue them, but ends up capturing them for his experiments, the same experiments that created the zombies. Delli Colli is captured by the cannibals, who intend sacrificing her to their god on a sacrificial table. It would require a miracle for her to escape, so a miracle occurs.

I seriously doubt that this is anyone's kind of film. The film has a cult following among genre fans. Be careful to see an uncut version, as the censored ones are pretty boring. C.

Nudity Report: Delli Colli is topless in an early scene, and then shows full frontal, first in an undressing scene, then when being prepared for sacrifice.

IMDB Summary: The IMDb rating of 4.8 of 10 is a little low as the film is decent technically.

DVD Info: The DVD is a good Widescreen transfer with several extras, and the dubbed English is reasonably well done.
