Blimey! Did this really use to pass as entertainment? A real cut-price job of all the most cost commercial aspects of early 80's Italian exploitation cinema incoherently tacked together. Here we have zombies, cannibals and a mad doctor, and a script whose only purpose is to act as a tenuous link between each cheap, splashy gore or full frontal nudity scene. It's the sort of film that after the first 15 minutes, gets bored with itself and wanders off somewhere else. Atrocious dubbing; dialogue which makes Fulci's 'Zombie Flesheaters' look like Mamet; Italian exteriors ludicrously masquerading as Philipino jungle and the usual inherent racism of the cannibal movie sub-genre, this film is just plain awful even by the low-standards set by the rest of this cycle of Spaghetti splatter. The version played at the ICA was titled 'Dr Butcher MD', so I assume it to be the full US uncut one.
