Can you stand the excitement? Want more? Then check out FEAST OF FLESH (aka "Blood Feast"), the first-ever splatter movie from the genre's legendary creator, Herschell Gordon Lewis! Filmed in Miami in 1963 for a buck-and-a-half, this is the nightmarish tale of a homicidal Egyptian caterer who dismembers his victims, using their body parts to reanimate a long-dead goddess.
THE MIGHTY GORGA is the film's writer/director David L. Hewitt in a cheap gorilla costume. Surprisingly OK cast quickly sinks into an ad-libbed miasma. The subtitle of THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE was obviously influenced by Dr. Strangelove-- any similarity ends there, however. In this one, a nudist camp's gardener drinks water tainted with toxic waste and transforms into a ghastly creature that attacks the unclothed campers.
The "highlight" of the Mexican-made NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES is probably footage of actual open heart surgery. A mad scientist tries curing his son's leukemia by giving him the heart of an ape (pronounced "gore-EEE-yah"). The boy predictably turns into a gnarly monkeyman and goes on a bloody rampage. ONE MILLION AC/DC was scripted by Ed Wood! (Big deal...) The movie's tagline says it all: "See...Vala, the voluptuous cave babe! See...Mota, the mighty war-lard! See...Dino, the plastic-eating dinosaur!"
