Review of Doctor Butcher M.D. (1980) by Justin E — 19 Jul 2013
"He is depraved, sadistic rapist!...a bloodthirsty, homicidal killer!... and he makes house calls" screamed the vhs box art for dr. butcher md. how could I not rent it? but little did I know the true horror that awaited me.
.. one third cannibal film, one third zombie film, one third mad scientist running amok and 100fuckingpercent italian!! this movie never tried to be anything more than dumb fun and succeeds ten fold. the acting is bad, locations are exotic, creature make up ranges from the spaghetti standard to pre-schooler level and the gore is poured on thicker than stag chili!!! retitled for north american consumption (and surprisingly left in tact gore wise), this film is known as "zombi holocaust" in its native italy.
don't miss your appointment with doctor butcher or you may get a surprise knock at the door...
