Synopsis:

Body parts start mysteriously disappearing from a New York City morgue and eventually it's revealed that a cannibalistic cult is behind it. The cultists originally hail from a remote tropical island, so a four member team is sent there to investigate. There first stop is to see an American doctor on one of the more civilized islands to hire guides and get directions to their final destination. When they finally arrive on the mysterious cult island they are soon confronted by the cannibals there. In true horror movie fashion the three local guides are quickly isolated and brutally slaughtered by the cannibals. Not sated, the cannibals launch an assault on the remaining team and when all seems lost an eerie moaning drives the attackers back into the forest. Then the good doctor who they met before arrives to save the two survivors, Peter and Lori. But the doctor is no saint - it just so happens that he is the source of the zombies and the cannibal natives are willing subjects for his experiments. Ignorant of the doctor's mad designs, Peter and Lori are sent off to find a raft for means of escaping the island. But it's a trap and a zombie attacks them on the beach. Peter dispatches it with a propeller and they head back inland to confront the doctor. Peter is captured and winds up on the operating table to become another subject the doctor's zombie experiments. Lori winds up becoming part of a sacrificial ritual and struts around stark naked for a spell. Like any decent mad scientist, the doctor spends too much time explaining his genius and Peter manages to cut himself free start a scuffle. Then Lori arrives with some of the cannibals to finish the coup. The doctor's quest for eternal life goes down in flames!

Review:

This review will be brief - a tribute to how much time we get to spend watching zombies in the film! It's rather disappointing on the zombie front, but if you enjoy smoking hot and fully naked Italian models laying spread eagle on a sacrificial altar then it's definitely worth watching. When viewed simply as a horror movie it fares much better thanks to it's ample amount of gore and gratuitous nudity! Perhaps it's a case of translation when they chose the title for the U.S. release, but the term holocaust never really seemed appropriate for this film. The zombies were isolated on a remote island and there was never even a hint of zombies overtaking the world. But the biggest problem is how terrible the zombies are. They only make a brief appearance, and they fail to impress.

Zombi the Holocaust is a film Cannible, and a movie zombie movie mad scientist thrown together to make one movie really bloody. Some scenes similar to Lucio zombi 2, such as Fulci and starts in New York and then go to a tropical island, and zombies in the church on the island. Up to two actors from zombi 2 in the Holocaust zombi.

Scenes with Cannibles killing and eating people nice and gory, and Zombie Makeup is a good kind of similar to zombi 2 Zombie make-up. One problem is that we do not see a lot of zombies in the beginning, but halfway through the film appears to do.

Items mad world is something new since zombi 2 did not have a man trying to create zombies for his research and uses Cannibles of his experiences. Zombi the Holocaust is a zombie flick with some great gore effects are good. Check it out.

There are two movies here (at least!) - A doctor with a psychotic and the other is a cannibal zombie movies. So think there will be lots of things here. But it is not. It's just an attack Gore cheap scenes. A scene Ian McCulloch to defend himself with an outboard motor to a face zombie attack. His face.
