Dreadful zombie bore-a-thon from Del Tenney, the man who brought the world Horror of Party Beach. A group of irritating, obnoxious people land on Voodoo Island, where they get attacked by natives covered with dried oatmeal. Painted plastic bits with holes in the center serve as laughably over-sized eyes for the zombies, who lurch around the jungle aimlessly. This flaccid feature only comes to life when the voodoo children git down and boogie - unfortunately there is quite a lot of that. Apparently some dimbulb scientist is injecting radioactive snake venom into the natives, making them into zombies (of course!), who then try to get and sacrifice his passive, useless daughter. Square-jawed Peter Bentley, our chauvinistic, sleazy hero, manages to save the day and live to ogle more women.
Re-released in 1971 as I eat Your Skin, it was tied to the equally poor I Drink Your Blood as a drive-in double-feature all over the country, where they both bombed. This movie features one of the most irritating female characters in movie history with Coral, an obnoxious boozy-floozy yenta with fiercly bleached hair and two yappy poodles. Try not to grind your teeth every time she opens her stupid mouth. Because every character in the film is either a jerk or twit, it's hard not to root for the pasty-faced, goggly-eyed zombies, who are unfortunately too slow and too stupid to be of much use. MooCow says keep these Zombies in the grave where they belong! :=8P
