When body parts of the recently deceased start to disappear in gruesome circumstances everyone becomes a suspect until a trusted doctor is discovered feeding on a freshly removed heart. A team of investigators is gathered to visit the mans remote tropical island of birth to try and understand his cannibalistic urges. If you've seen the excellent 1979 Zombie Flesh Eater then you will have seen this all before except with slightly more polish. Mad scientists, undead flesh eaters and, for a little bit of originality, an insane and brutal cannibal tribe.
Gore fans won't be too disappointed as some of the death scenes are truly stomach churning but the rest of the film seems to be a complete farce. The dubbing in the first 30 minutes is appalling with very little audio/visual match-up and the zombie makeup effects look like plastercine has been smeared all over the faces of the unlucky zombie cast. It attempts to amalgamate parts of Zombie Flesh Eater with parts of the similarly titles 1979 movie Cannibal Holocaust but ends up extracting the worst elements of both and turns the whole affair into an exercise in copyright theft. This one seems to be doing the rounds on budget DVD so might not be a terrible purchase if you like your horror films raw and bloody but the movies technical's suck.
