*spoilers within* There's a couple good show-stopping though disappointing gore effects in this one. Much like CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, the zombies and the gore don't really get the screen time you'd expect. In fact, the zombies don't even show up until 60% into the film and then appear sparingly with never more than 2 in one shot at a time. They never actually harm anyone, don't move at all like zombies (except in a couple shots), actually follow the mad doctor's orders obediently, and don't even have make-up on besides on their faces. Those looking for similar hi-jinx to those on parade in Lucio Fulci's gore-classic ZOMBIE will be totally baffled here.
What this film DOES have though are some wonderfully unintentional hilarity - the best of which is the long, LONG shot of Ian McCulloch talking to Dr. Obero (Donal O'Brien) outside the church. O'Brien says "there's a rubber dingy up on the coast to take you off the island" to which Ian looks at him, then ponders off into space for a solid 20 seconds, only to say "but..." as though he's a total moron! The editor really dropped the ball with that one. Another great part comes early on with a man jumping out of a window and falling 20 stories to his doom, and when he hits the ground, the mannequin in his place loses an arm. Cut to dead guy on floor, and his arm is still attached.
The most questionable scene has to be the whole ending of the movie where Dr. Obrero looks to be just as puzzled as the audience. Why are the natives suddenly attacking? Why doesn't he do anything? ...and WHY do they start cannibalizing a Zombie??? yuck! Watch ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, ZOMBI 3, or even NIGHTMARE CITY instead. More zombies, better direction, and just plain better movies overall.
Anime fans may recognize the voices of Ed Mannix as Dr. Obrero, and Gregory Snegoff as George.
