I was pleasantly stunned at how wrong these naysayers were. I've heard some genre fans hate these movies for being so awful. I also highly recommend "Brides of Blood" (the monster is kinda like a demonic tiki, a relative of the tree monster Tabanga in "From Hell it Came")and "The Blood Drinkers"m featuring a vampire that is as suave as a James Bond villain and incredible photography. They are even as unique, bizarre, and compelling as the Japanese yakuza flicks from Seijun Suzuki of the same era, and much more colorful, entertaining and original than contemporary horror cinema. Eddie Romero's Filipino horror films of this era will appeal to all fans of 60s/70s Mexican and Spanish horror cinema. Even the eerie exotica music score is cool. This is B Movie making at its finest, sheer exploitation with no apologies and no holds barred. It has some HG Lewis type gore, lots of gratuitous nudity, beautiful scenery, earnest bad acting, a seriously scary monster, and more. I bought it based on its notorious reputation (and some seductive stills) and was not disappointed. The monstrous sounds of Blood Island come back to life with this first-time-on. This amazingly atmospheric ,surreal and sleazy drive-in masterpiece is a must-see for all fans of monsters, exotica, John Ashley, mad scientists, and cheesecake.

Reviewed by mrthrill 10 / 10 Exotic Exploitation Thankfully the effect isn't done as wildly in the later scenes and you actually can put away your neck brace and enjoy the film. Its the equivalent to whiplash and really distracts from the early attack scenes. My only complaint is that some knucklehead thought it would be a good idea to zoom in and out every time the monster attacks. Its the sort of movie they don't make any more. It moves along at a good clip, has a great monster, some very graphic killings (you will see blood, limbs and intestines) and some topless women. What can I say about a movie that begins with the audience being given "the pledge of the green blood" other than see this movie? If you like old school horror films, or drive-in style movies, this film is for you. Its mad doctor on the loose using science to create a monster that runs around killing people. Sequel to Brides of Blood (and third of the Blood Island films, the first being Terror is a Man which only shares the same location) this is more of the same only up a notch. Für den Film Mad Doctor of Blood Island und dessen Regie ist Gerardo de Leon verantwortlich. What they find when they get there is a monster on the loose that likes to disembowel and dismember (graphically) his victims. The doctor is there to investigate a supposed out break of a new disease. The handsome islander is there to reunite with his mother. The beautiful Young girl is there to find her father. Three people come to Blood Island for their own reasons. Reviewed by dbborroughs 8 / 10 Drive-in classic lives up to its reputation
