Trivia
Although never listed in the UK as an official video nasty the pre-cert video was seized by Cambridgeshire Police and the dealer was tried under Section 2 of the Obscene Publications Act 1977, though eventually found not guilty. The film was released fully uncut in 2000. See more »Goofs
In the catch the mutilator hospital scene, the corpse that has just had its heart ripped out blinks. See more »Alternate Versions
USA version was re-edited and altered by distributor Aquarius Releasing Inc. and re-titled "Doctor Butcher, M.D.". Among the changes:- A new, completely pointless and unrelated opening title sequence featuring a zombie rising from a grave, which is actually taken from an unfinished anthology "Tales To Rip Your Heart Out".
- The bulk of the original "serious-sounding" musical score was overlapped with a cheesy and a wonderfully irritating synthesizer one. There are even moments where you can still hear Nico Fidenco's original score muffled under the replacement score.
- Some dialogue and character "development" were deleted for pacing reasons.

This one's like a rip-off of Zombie starring Ian McCulloch again and another silly group of explorers who set sail for a tropical island only to find zombies and cannibals at play. Atrocious acting and dialogue and the worst ever fight scene in movie history where McCulloch battles a cannibal on what looks like the edge of a golf course in England! This film is nearly as funny as Night of the Zombies; there's plenty of gore and Alexandra Delli Colli gets naked several times "Wow!" The ending was disappointing however and occurs out of nowhere. The music on the Dr Butcher version was a daft electronic cacophony; the original Zombi Holocaust version is much better. Frankly ridiculous but great fun all the same. To sum up, its a rip-off of a rip-off of a sequel.
